    Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

    One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

    what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

    This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

    I kinda like this movie. I think it's worth watching at least once. The premise is good and most of the acting is enjoyable, but it feels like they tried to shove way too many plot lines into this production. Spoiler alert If they had just tried showing the girl trying to get the information to the military (although with a few less deaths) It would've been a good movie. If they had just showed the cop trying to rescue his daughter and stop his ex-partner while dodging debris, that would've been a good movie. If they had showed the doctor and her family trying to survive that would've been a good movie. If they had showed the sheriff and the town, that would've been a good movie. Joining the Doctor and the sheriff would've been good. Joining the girl and the cop story lines, it would've been a good movie. Well, actually it would have been a better movie. But with all of them shoved in there together it was too much going on to easily follow. I also think they over did what the girl had to go through and what the bad cop was able to do.This is a movie to watch if you just want noise while you're doing other things, just for the entertainment but don't try to take it too seriously. Asteroid (with Michael Biehn) was a much better mini-series covering the same basic story. This movie is one I will watch again just because I like it, unless Asteroid is on at the same time.

    This is without a doubt the worst film I have ever seen. The writer should be put out of his/her misery and the producers are probably material for institutions for the criminally insane. Dialogues are simply horrific, characters are stupid and well off the deep end. The plot is full of clichés, I would go so far to say that they have pulled together here in one place just about every single drama-plot and subplot you can think of. There is the female, hero genius who saves the planet. There is the hero-cop widowed father who is on bad terms with his daughter and sets out to save her from his former friend turned insane criminal, hellbent on destroying the hero-cops family and seems unkillable. There is the hero-doctor-wife of the must-be-included young farmer and their son who is also hero material. The purpose of most characters in the film is dubious at best, and the acting is without equal horrific. Every fact of science is just ignored in this film, who in his right mind would use stinger missiles to shoot down asteroids 500 feet up from the ground and surprise surprise they get vaporized every time. The big mama asteroid is not "engaged" until it has entered the atmosphere and is then "deflected" back out to space with multiple nukes from the US, Russia and China. People should be paid considerable amounts to have to watch this crap.............

    Spoiler alert!!! If you read the continuing paragraphs, I might just save you the time you could have spent watching this entire (for lack of better word) show, as calling it a movie would offend feelings of everyone from Lumieres to Bruce Willis. So if you feel that you must watch this whatevere, refrain from reading my review, as it will greatly reduce satisfaction (yeah, really) of watching it. For God sake don't watch it, I only did because the TV was tuned to the channel showing, and I was merely glancing it to determine how bad it is. And it is plenty bad enough.Well, about 45 minutes from the start, I wished the main character was raped and murdered in the police station, so the entire series would end right there. Unfortunately, she missed several good opportunities to finally die, only to help people turn meteor about by God damn NUCLEAR ROCKETS, only 40 miles from impact (well within atmosphere). Entire nuclear arsenal of every nation on Earth 100 times over wouldn't suffice for this feat in applied physics. Even if by some miraculous stretch of laws of physics it did suffice, what about a gaping hole in our atmosphere? It would be better if got hit by a meteor than the outcome of such an explosion.1. Ph.D. in physics wouldn't be very good at martial arts and would probably have succumbed to the rape/murder attempt right off.2. I will skip parts where they shoot meteroids down with Stingers and Patriots.3. So congratulations miss Survivor. You just made a 60 miles in diameter radioactive slag that will hit earth. Would you like your f*cking parade? Those missiles would be better used to put entire world out of mysery before impact.

    With The Sci Fi channel cranking them out like candy, there are so many horrible sci fi movies these days, that its becoming increasingly difficult to find a movie that qualifies as the worst I've ever seen. But this one gets the award. No contest. I don't think I made it through 20 minutes.Let's see if I can recap what I did see. A super granddaddy asteroid has been knocked out of its orbit by a comet. And no one notices until its only 48 hours from Earth. And then, the only person who knows is a crackpot astronomer at a back woods observatory and no one believes him. Oh woe is me, all is lost. But wait. The next morning we find that the U.S. Air Force knows all about it and they have a fool proof plan to blow it to hell. But it seems they have the wrong coordinates. Mr. Astronomer is the only one who knows where the asteroid really is. Huh? The Air Force has detected it? They know its going to hit Earth? But they don't know where it is? Oh no, the dreaded stealth asteroid. So what is the only man on the planet with the correct coordinates doing? It seems that using the phone, e-mail or any other form of electronic communication to deliver the coordinates is out of the question. So Mr. Astronomer is in his car with this assistant, in a desperate race to deliver the priceless coordinates on time, in person. But oh my, it seems that his car has broken down in the middle of nowhere, with the Air Force getting ready to launch every nuclear missile on the planet in the wrong direction. And wouldn't you know it, his car broke down in a spot that doesn't have cell phone service. Wait, wait, we'll flag down a passing car and get a ride. We'll make it yet. Unless we stand in the middle of the road and get hit by one of the cars that we're trying to flag down. That's when I turned this pathetic piece of trash off. I can only take so much. I'm not one of these people who demands total scientific accuracy out of a movie. After all, it is a movie. But I do expect the story to maintain at least a minimal degree of plausibility. Did anyone associated with this disaster even graduate from grade school? I doubt it. This story has more holes than a donut factory. It's so bad that it's sure to have made the Sci Fi channel jealous.
