I need this English sentence translated to Dutch, please: Epoch is a film with an interesting, although re-hashed, derivative premise, harkening back to everything from 2001 to Sphere, this "Made for the SciFi Channel" (!?) film had interesting possibilities, but was unfortunately ruined by acting so wooden that Pinocchio seems downright voluptuous in comparison..A mysterious "thing" crashes into Earth four billion years ago, and just as mysteriously erupts out of the ground near the Chinese border, present day, causing worldwide electronic glitches, immediately attracting the attention of the shadowy gubmint agency in DC who decides it's their job to find out what it is, send in the G.I. Joes to surround it, call in the world's smartest guy (David Keith??) to figure out its purpose, and make sure the Chinese don't get at it.How convienient that it appears in some stinkin' desert somewhere, and not in the middle of, oh, I dunno, Cleveland.. this way the cast can be kept small, and the effects a lot easier to accomplish..Some of the special effects, particularly the long shots of the thing, which resembles a tornado funnel made out of rock, are well executed.The thing has mysterious powers, seemingly able to bring the dead back to life, and heal the maladies of anyone who gets near it, including the terminally ill character played by Keith.But this whole premise is blown to bits (eventually literally).. by the horrible acting and dialog that sounds like it was written in a high school class.

Epoch is een film met een interessante, zij het herontdekte, alternatieve invalshoek, die teruggrijpt op alles van 2001 tot Sphere. Deze 'Made for the SciFi Channel' (!?) film had interessante mogelijkheden, maar werd jammer genoeg geruïneerd door zo houterig te spelen dat Pinocchio in vergelijking met hem ronduit wulps lijkt.Een mysterieus 'ding' stort zich vier miljard jaar geleden op de aarde, en net op het moment dat het uit de grond vlak bij de Chinese grens tevoorschijn komt, veroorzaakt het wereldwijde elektronische storingen, die onmiddellijk de aandacht trekken van de schimmige regering in D.C., die besluit dat het hun taak is uit te zoeken wat het is, de G.I. Joe's te sturen om het te omsingelen, de slimste man ter wereld (David Keith?)
