I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

As an author myself, I have a rule - I don't write about things that I don't understand because when I do, I lose credibility. When someone is writing science fiction, it is important to remain true to the known science - otherwise the actual fiction components lose credibility, which, ultimately, does a disservice to the viewer. In any work of fiction, the suspension of disbelief must not be made more difficult by suggesting things that are just plain wrong. The idea that the Earth's rotation is controlled by its magnetic fields is false. The idea that two satellites could generate enough energy to cause the Earth to begin revolving after it had stopped is absurd. And the idea that a child and a scientist who know nothing about such satellites could properly program them to facilitate such actions is ridiculous. A good story is one which at least attempts to be believable. For $1.8 Million, it should have been possible to find someone with at least a cursory knowledge of science to at least come up with a believable plot. I can only recommend this film to those who truly enjoy really bad films.

If you've seen one SyFy Channel Original Movie, then you know what to expect from all of them. The simple formula consists of a couple of familiar television or genre actors, some type of otherworldly threat or attack, and some budget special effects that aren't quite as bad as what we get with The Asylum's movies. However, they still don't quite live up to the expectations set forth by years of watching films crafted with the help of ILM."Earth's Final Hours" is no different except for a premise that isn't quite as hard to swallow as an alien attack or over-used as a giant asteroid on a collision course with Earth. Don't get me wrong; matter from an asteroid figures into the story. It's just not the size we're used to from years of movies like "Meteor," "Armageddon," and "Deep Impact."The dense matter from a white hole in "Earth's Final Hours" is about the size of a soft ball and hits one side of the planet and exits through the other. This causes Earth's rotation to stop, leaving one side facing the sun to fry while the other freezes in darkness. One stripe down the middle of the planet will be inhabitable. Government officials want only the world's finest to gain a spot in this limited "Green Zone." A group of CIA agents and scientists are more concerned with saving everyone by finding a way to set the Earth's rotation back to normal.I admit the concept behind "Earth's Final Hours" is way more intriguing than another film serving us more of the same collision course / end of the world fodder we're used to. Instead of pieces of flaming rock smashing into buildings and people, we get solar beams and flares that burn up everything in their paths.The problem lies in the pacing of the movie. It gets tedious watching individuals run around shooting at each other in between momentary spatters of someone being incinerated. There has to be more writers can do with this concept than what they gave us here. Unfortunately, chances are there isn't on a SyFy Channel Original Movie budget.Bruce Davison is the big-name celebrity for "Earth's Final Hours." He's starred in the "X-Men" movies as well as "The Practice" and "Last Resort" TV shows. Julia Benson is no stranger to SyFy Channel projects, having starred in "SGU Stargate Universe" and most recently "Chupacabra vs. the Alamo." Cameron Bright is recognizable by most as vampire Alec in the "Twilight" movies. Robert Knepper is on the CW's "Cult" and also had roles in "SGU Stargate Universe" and "Heroes." Roark Critchlow pops up on "Pretty Little Liars" occasionally and also starred in SyFy's "The 12 Disasters of Christmas" and "V.""Earth's Final Hours" provides an alternative to the usual end-of-the-world scenarios we're handed. That doesn't mean its quality is any better as far as filmmaking is concerned. It will mildly entertain and serve as a distraction from real life as SyFy Channel Original Movies are intended to.

I don't understand why so many people post negative reviews on some of these SyFy Channel movies. These movies aren't made to be blockbusters. I don't take any of them seriously. They're meant to be entertaining, and more often than not, "mindless" entertainment that you can often sit back and have a few laughs with on a Saturday or Sunday evening.Unlike many reviewers, I actually "enjoy" watching SyFy Channel movies. Knowing how cheaply they are made and how far out some of them are makes them all the more entertaining. That being said, some are still better than others. Quiet a few of the newer ones have been very enjoyable to me, and this one was no exception.It's science fiction, not science fact and I was entertained for an hour and a half. I won't go into the plot as you can read that under the main page, but if you like watching SyFy Channel Disaster movies like myself, than you will probably feel it was time well spent. If you don't like "out there" plot lines, low budget effects and some bad acting then don't watch it and stick with "Hollywood" style films.

Greetings, Overall this movie is worth watching. I love disaster movies and this movie; yes does have far fetched ideas, but the end of the world is pretty far fetched. Yet there are a lot of us that think about what would happen if there were a possible complete collapse. I'm not going to add much about this movie in detail but the concept and execution of this movie made this worth my time.I'm not saying you're going to blown away, or that this movie will become some kind of cult classic. I'm just saying that if you like disaster movies, this is worth watching because this is believable. Not as hokey as even Zombie movies.I hope you enjoy this movie, I did.
