“Amerigeddon” (** out of four) was a hollow action melodrama that fails to be as original or detonating as its title. In the future, a global terrorist organization aligned with the United Nations institutes martial law, leaving a family of patriots to defend their homeland and save America and reclaim freedom. Full of standard-issue jingoism, cartoonish villains, and some routine action although a few scenes towards the end have emotional power. Queens’ own Dina Meyer is good in a supporting role and AnnaLynne McCord is a knockout as one of the family soldiers.
