CANADA EAST: What to See Saturday, June 4, 2011
Red Faction: Origins is a made-for-SyFy sci-fi TV movie based on a first-person shooter video game - one of popular entertainment's more tiresome ideas - but this one is a step up from the usual giant-squid-vs.-man-eating-shark SyFy flick.
Robert Patrick, of Terminator II and late-seasons X-Files fame, plays Alec Mason. Brian J. Smith plays his son, Jake. Together, father and son are freedom fighters in a rebel group that calls itself the Red Faction; the baddies are represented by the Earth Defense Force, a.k.a. Big Government.
Who are you rooting for? Careful, now. They may be watching.
Red Faction: Origins was filmed in Vancouver, by the way, with several holdovers from Battlestar Galactica and Stargate Universe in the cast and crew. (Space, 10 AT)
Airs in the US on Syfy at 9/8C.
