Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Strong and Moving!

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

EARTHFALL is yet another generic science fiction disaster flick made by the SyFy Channel, exactly the same as all the rest they've done over the years. A massive asteroid passes too close to Earth and upsets our gravitational field, causing the planet to spin out of control; a whole wave of natural disasters follow. The usual bunch of TV actors, down on their luck to a man, attempt to figure out a way to stop things. This is good if you like watching terrible CGI effects of cities being destroyed and devastated, but for anyone with real taste in cinema it will be a chore to sit through.

Not to sure this should be called a sci-fi film as such, maybe more a small budget disaster film than anything.Certainly nothing great to say about this TV film except acting was acceptable. But feels more like a generic cheaply made Hallmark Channel drama film to fill 90 minutes on a Sunday afternoon than anything.The given situation that the planet turning on its axis so much and spinning out of orbit and yet parts of the planet pretty much unaffected (barring meteors and weather storms) is highly unrealistic and lacks any scientific basis to the given situation to make enjoying this film really possible. So it makes difficult to accept that there is any believable aspect to this story in any form. Which then begs the question as to the type of audience the film sees its target audience demographics?.I'm guessing this could be seen more as showcase film for actors and budding CGI artists seeing as there was some reasonable efforts on the CGI front.

REALLY GOOD START, BUT WHERE'S THE ENDING??? Good plot to start, good actors, good acting. Problem is, at the end of the movie I felt as though I'd seen the first quarter of the show and had been cheated out of seeing the last 3 quarters of it. WHY would they take a viewer through all that turmoil just to end it flat at the moment the planet (and it's occupants) were going to start the REAL adventure - creating a new world out of the ruins of the old one. I just CAN NOT understand why they stopped only 1 quarter of the way in. There doesn't seem to be a follow-up movie or a series coming off it. This movie could have continued with so many additional plots; the military setting up a base and people living there, while people who had survived without the military set up small communities all over the globe (working their way out from the area that people were still alive in). It wouldn't have to be every community fighting every other community, either. Why not every community working to help each other and reinstate commerce with each other. There could be a farming community trading goods with a mining community and a crafting community trading goods with both of those, and on and on. Runners as mail carriers. Traveling tutors for the kids, traveling medical units from the medical community, kids sent to craftsmen, hospitals, farms, libraries, etc., to live in their teen years in order to learn a trade (since the colleges would probably no longer be viable, right?) and on and on. Sooooo much more could have come from this movie than just another "shoot-em- up-bang-bang" debacle.

For a movie with such grandeur title, Earthfall is more like a local neighborhood watch or mall cops running around in random field. It has incredibly poor acting, silly attempt to create drama and expected low quality effect. This is actually one of the worst films that seem far longer than it is, I could've sworn that it had been going for two or three hours.Story is unsurprisingly mundane, there's a planet out of orbit or the sort. The science is explained over zealously and barely makes sense even for B-movie standard. The other main plot is the two leads, both of whom trying to channel Matthew McConaughey, one from his romance comedy days and one from new serious roles. Needless to say, mentioning Matthew McConaughey is already an undeserving praise for them.At least in other similar movies, both quality and genre, there are signs of catastrophe, such as a small town in panic or a bunch of people stuck in traffic. This movie almost exclusively transpires in deserted field with people trying to pass off as scientist or military. Furthermore, its attempt to vilify authority just seems timid and merely serves as padding while the supposed survivors are like random extras from The Walking Dead arguing with each other.Earthfall is not even good for lazy popcorn flick.
