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

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

drunkguy Someone reviewed this film as being "scientifically accurate", which I guess it is if the only science you know came from the Austin Powers trilogy. It's amazing to me that someone would think it was possible that they could blow up an asteroid with a "giant laser", and the pieces would all impact the exact same spot, despite the fact that the Earth ROTATES, and the explosion delayed the pieces somehow so that they fell to Earth days later than expected. As far as the acting, I wondered throughout the movie just how much Thorazine Annabelle Sciorra had ingested before sleepwalking through her scenes. Michael Biehn doesn't fare much better. He couldn't act as if his hair was wet when he just went through a massive wave that washed his truck off a bridge, yet left him and the guys in the bed of the truck dry and unscathed. This movie fails on every level. Everyone should sue the producers for those four hours back.

itgagent0409 I can't believe all these negative comments about this movie! I love it! Super special effects, nice acting.Annabella Sciorra & Michael Biehn were great.Of course, the laser would be impossible, but it was to make the movie more dramatic.The Dallas scene where the city is "meteored" off the face of the Earth was great as well.The ending where Elliot is trapped in the crater was very suspenseful.Having asteroids hit Dallas & Kansas City is a better choice than New York or Los Angeles. I would have preferred Salt Lake City to Dallas, but still nice to see fresh blood in this movie.There are no dams in Kansas City, but they did it to make it more dramatic, as well. Plus, their downtown doesn't look like that, but who cares?Super movie! 10 out of 10!

bananas-3 The hilarious horror is how many scientific facts you can get wrong in a single movie.As a first time watch this movie is absolutely gut-wrenching because of the huge blunders in the plot and the scientific "facts". I really ought to have spared myself by shutting off the TV but I could not. I was in denial - refusing to believe that so many stupid errors that any high school student could have caught had actually made it into a movie.So I kept watching in horror. Then actually, later on I watched this movie again because I still refused to believe what my eyes had seen. When I watched it the second time i realized that my eyes and ears had not betrayed me and I was rolling on the floor laughing through most of the film.The stupidity in this movie, makes it the kind of movie that makes the rest of the world believe that Americans are ignorant, unintelligent and need to fix their public schools. Not that I believe this to bee true although the script-writer falls into this category.This is unquestionably the most stupid movie I have ever watched, and probably also the worst. So I give it a clear 1 out of 10 since I can't use negative numbers.Although I must admit that this movie has a potential for becoming a cult-movie in the horror or comedy genre.

moviegal-6 Okay, so this is not the greatest "disaster movie" ever made. It's made for tv so it doesn't have the budget as Armageddon or Deep Impact did. Also, one must realize as someone pointed out before...it was made a good year before the others. It was really one of the first to broach this type of topic and I feel it did quite well. All movies have inaccuracies and many other movies have numerous more problems then this one. Implausable, perhaps; corny dialog, not the fault of the actors. The point that must be remembered is that it is a movie!!! Sure, the FEMA director probably wouldn't ever leave the office- perhaps he or she should! Sure, modern observatories are more computer run than anything (hello, then it wouldn't be a human interest movie), and the actors in it really do well with the story that they have. Michael Biehn and Annabelle Sciorra, screen actors, usually in supporting or secondary rolls are contending with lead rolls. Don Franklin, Jensen Daggett, and the others are all television actors in a story that had the scope to be a big screen film. Anthony Zerbe is the seasoned actor here, having done both film and tv, but he was cast in a minor roll and did pretty good with it. Comparing this to big budget large screen films is unfair. It is also unfair to judge actors based on weak script writing. They do what they can with what they're given. What this is is a movie that makes you feel good about being human and gives you hope that we can come together if there ever would be a major disaster.
