Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This undiluted snore-fest feels like all the cutting room floor sweepings from "Deep Impact" and "Contact" have been spliced together by a bunch of Junior High students as a prank. All the usual suspects that one would expect in a cheesy conspiracy movie are here: the dashing entrepreneur with money from nowhere, the congressman who can't keep his pants up and is having an affair with his secretary, the young, eager journalist, the crusty old professor mentoring the hapless student with yards of incoherent and technically wrong technobabble... and all played by the most talentless actors who should have remained unknown as anyone were would have heard of before has clearly been warned off by their agent. As they spout lines that sound as if they were written on the back of a packet of Marlboro, a plot as flat as Kansas meanders along, hour after interminable hour, where no-one does anything but clumsiest of predictable, trite responses, backed up by not even a hint of a special effects nor interesting camera angle. What is least believable, however, is that this turgid, unoriginal claptrap even reached a second episode without being pulled, let alone was commissioned to run for a second series as it is nothing but a big slice of their lives of the viewing public wasted that they'll never get back. Dull, dull, dull.

This is like eating a kebab when you are blind drunk. It looks bad, smells bad and tastes bad. It is not good for your body in any way whatsoever, yet it is quick and easy to consume.

Although it seems like a great storyline to follow, just how far could this storyline go? As time passes (and the threat drawls closer), we could see the true nature of what humanity is, and what we do in the final days and hours of our existence. Do we go insane with overwhelming fear, turn to religion and except our fate, or do we come together as one united human race, and look pass the expense and profit of saving the world, as we find the way to either stop the threat, or find the means to continue on...out there in the vast void of space. The show's title, to me, doesn't seem to connect to the threat being presented, where as "DEEP IMPACT" does. The show could have followed the same storyline as the 1998 film and be a bit more detailed on how a mission could work, both on the deflection of the asteroid, or on the relocation of those who could be saved from the near destruction of the earth. We can only see just how far this story will go...after all, look how far the show CONTAINMENT lasted.

This show is just pretentious garbage. The millennial generation is going to save mankind with the help of a few old farts. I can't even go on about this garbage show anymore. Networks are cancelling fantastic shows and keeping this trash because their focus audience is too stupid to appreciate a good show.Such a load of crap... Screw you millennials!
