*semi spoilers included*
Decent enough TV-thriller about a mix of eco-guerrillas and university personnel drawn into a government conspiracy about black holes! The British government alongside a nuclear power company have created an artificial black hole, on earth, to serve as an unlimited source of energy! The whole plot is a bit dodgy, I'm not sure feeding Russian nuclear waste to a black hole is an idea ANY government would condone. The effects were sparse but not particularly bad, since obviously done within a limited budget! The only thing really setting `Doomwatch: Winter Angel' a part from all other TV-thrillers was the fact that it's set in England and not the US.... apparently the English also have a wicked side! The Special Branch characters of the movie definitely did theirs to match their American counterparts in nastiness, like throwing people out of helicopters! This actually worked quite well in the movie; the portrait of the agency behind - no MIB style agents dressed in black driving fancy cars, just ruthless cynical men doing theirs to cover up the governments dirty business!
I'd give it 4 outa 10.
