Loved this movie. I watched it years ago when it was aired on TV in weekly parts and loved seeing it again. It's good versus evil after a virus kills most humans. The survivors who choose the side of good have to battle 'Randall Flagg' a demon in human form. The actors are fantastic. I especially loved Gary Sinese and Rob Lowe. This is very long (about 6 hours) but worth every second.
Ooh it's bad. Allowing for the changes from the book for television adaptation and ignoring them for rating this, it's so badly acted and the sets are appalling. Typical for a TV movie, but this is extremely bad.
Even the big name stars that gave me hope before I watched it give you splinters they are so wooden and I can only guess that it was the script or director, unless they contracted some virus that prevented them from temporarily being able to act. The extras wouldn't make it into a Z movie, let alone a B.
Stick with the book, it might be a long haul at 1500 pages but it's worth it and I doubt I could ever watch this all the way through. It is so bad!
