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

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This is actually a good movie. I don't care if it cannot be "scientifically justified", Star Trek cannot be either - that's why these things are called science fiction! The plot is good, the cast is good, the execution and production almost flawless for this type of movie. It goes hand in hand with "Official Denial" and similar relatively modest movies. Getting a planet, any planet out of its trajectory is quite plausible scenario. This movie exploits such possibility and it does it quite well. You may enjoy the movie or end up endlessly analyzing it, it is up to you.

-This Review contains spoilers-That the "science" in this movie doesn't make any sense at all is not the biggest problem, it's a movie, although there are a lot of obvious blunders.The script however slowly drags itself forward, there is way too much irrelevant details in this movie.What irritated me the most about this movie were the grandfather and those annoying brads, sure just crowbar somebody to the ground when he tries to defend his supplies against thieves.The acting in general (apart from those kids) wasn't all that bad. Natasha Henstridge is always a pleasure to watch.I rate it a 3 out of 10

Yeah, I kind of got a kick out of it, but not for the reasons the film-makers intended. This is one of the few disaster movies that makes "Armaggeddon" look like it was written by geniuses and "The Core" like it was made as an instructional film for use in college geology courses. The wide liberties taken with actual fact (and common sense) make for a rollicking time, but it scares me that we're failing in educating the youth of today.I mean, this is only 3 hours long, but in that time you learn that the screenwriters (1) think that the moon has a magnetic field emanating from a core, (2) believe that the "laws of gravity" are that "little objects are attracted to big objects," (3) don't know that cruise missiles are air-breathers and won't operate or even steer in the absence of an atmosphere, (4) don't understand the difference between electromagnetics and gravity, (5) think that it takes longer to walk back to town from a car breakdown than to program, launch, and deliver 87 rockets with nuclear device payloads all the way to the moon, (6) have some bizarre ideas about what a brown dwarf star is, and so forth.But it IS entertaining. Just make sure to have a chat with your kids afterwards to make sure that (a) your son didn't spend the entire movie following Natsha Henstridge's boobs, and (b) that your daughter understands that the science end of it was all BS so she won't be afraid to get her graduate degree in physics. After all, any exposure to the "scientists" in this film is an almost guaranteed turn-off for budding researchers.
