This was a Millennium Films production rushing to capitalize on the Y2K apocalypse buzz while it lasted.

Cultural

Epoch is basically the dollar-store 2001: A Space Odyssey that Stanley Kubrick's ghost definitely saw and said nothing.

Discussion

Reactions from the web

Hard to believe this came out the same year as the Lord of the Rings and looks 20 years older.

@VoiceULove 25

@michaeldillon719 30

Is not a great production, but I find some similarity with the Arrival movie, very interesting...
