Product Details
A rogue asteroid smashes into the moon in a tremendous explosion of rock and debris. Within days, disastrous abnormalities start happening on Earth. What started as the most beautiful and the largest meteor shower in 10,000 years unexpectedly becomes the catalyst for a potential collison between the moon and planet Earth. The world's leading scientists, Alex Kittner (David James Elliott, TV's JAG) and Maddie Rhodes (Natasha Henstridge, Species) have 39 days to stop the moon's course or the Earth - - and all of mankind - - will perish. Also starring James Cromwell (W. and The Green Mile). The countdown is on.
Product Reviews
 (4 stars) - Dungle Foo
Listen, people...If you even watch this movie then you obviously have social issues, but if you watch it and then diss it we need to talk. It has all of the classic hollywood goodies, tear-jerkers, and stomach-squeezers we've grown up with. BudgetBDamned, I'm going to make a movie that destroys the earth, then add a pinch of empathy for children that (shudder) have to live through the apocalypse while their grandpa struggles with his own health. All those buggin' asteroid things falling and making my mobile home less than pleasant reminds me that we're all AMERICAN, and GOD bless 'Merica! :) Classic doughboy fodder. Heat, Eat, Enjoy.
 (1 stars) - MST3K fodder!
Wow, I'm almost speechless... even by TV miniseries standards, this thing just stinks like Gorgonzola cooking on a compost heap... it fails on every level; as drama, as sci-fi, as action, as entertainment. I love sci-fi and am perfectly willing to suspend disbelief as long as I'm taking on a fun ride, but this thing just tosses you off a cliff without a parachute, and you'll soon be begging for the bottom of the bottomless moon pit to put you out of your misery.
Every second of this film is so fatally flawed in every way, and the flaws just build upon themselves at such an exponential rate, that it's obvious within the first 60 seconds that the real disaster in this film is the film itself. However, for this reason, it succeeds immensely, as a comedy. Every scene is so predictable and drenched in moon cheese fondue, that it is consistently laughable, especially if you have a friend over with whom to pick it apart and exchange mockery. I'd love to break it down here for you, scene by scene, certainly I couldn't spoil anything even if I tried, but the time has passed and I can't get that 190 minutes back. Besides, I think the mockery of this laughably pathetic film is best left to the professionals... look for it soon on MST3K. I will say this though, if there happens to be a sci-fi film from 2000 starring Stephen Baldwin called XChange airing on HBO after your done watching this, you'll enjoy that body snatcher that much more ;)
 (2 stars) - Not Science Fiction at it's best.
For me this movie was just okay. In many ways, it is a poor man's version of "Deep Impact". This would be "Deep Impact" without the big name stars, lesser special effects, and a lesser quality script.
I love good science fiction, but good science fiction movies are hard to come by. This movie is very slow. This is not entirely bad as long as the slowness leads to good character development, or the addition of quality plot.
In the case of this movie, there is too much in the romantic parts, poor acting on the part of the child actors, and cliché upon cliché.
I downloaded this movie to my Tivo. $3.99, I guess it was worth that much.
 (3 stars) - Good Characters and Story, Very Bad Science
There are two sides to this movie.
Its your standard disaster movie, but on a lower budget. The storyline and characters were pretty good and there are only a few small areas where the dialogue tends to drag on a bit. Even the lower budget special effects were mostly good. This whole side of the movie was definitely worth watching.
On the other side is the science. People that really don't know anything about astronomy, physics, or how all of this works will be more likely to find this movie very enjoyable, but the rest of us are far more likely to cringe at the way science became fantasy in this movie. Up to a point all of us can suspend our disbelief and look beyond the flawed science, but its too hard to ignore the impossibility of the situation as I was watching this play out.
This is a average movie, good on one side, but with science about as real as dragons and elves which will ruin it for many.
 (5 stars) - Excellent movie
Great movie... getting a lot of details right.
The few shortcomings don't really diminish the viewing experience.
Don't expect a Hollywood type movie - some special effects are not of that standard. However, the movie excells in story telling, characters and message.
Especially surprising - details in Germany are accurate - e.g the THW sequences - Technical Help Organization.
Movie captures "atmosphere" in Germany very well.
Watch it.
