implaxible Never mind the plot and acting... I don't even have to talk about them.This is seriously the most nausea-inducing movie I've ever seen, and it's all due to the shaky-cam. I actually had to look away during several of the scenes and those include the set-bound "office" shots. And don't even try to follow any of the flight or flight scenes.The other irritating thing is the score. You know how for the main menu on a DVD the music plays on a loop? Well, get used to it. This soundtrack consists literally of one blaring chord, which just gets louder as things get more "dangerous".The main character was not too bad as an actor, and Bruce Davison did what he could. The girlfriend was one of the worst I'd ever seen, smiling through every single line, as much as Denise Richards in Starship Troopers. Can you believe two people in this film were in the X-Men movies?

bobnelson44 While the theme is a great one and the movie does keep the suspense high. Too many times one has to wonder what is going on. Government cover-up is always expected and the Secretary is determined to save the elite few regardless of the cost (while maintaining his reputation). However, when Streich breaks Rothman out of the CIA's prison and they know they have been seen escaping, the trio sits down and chats until they are shot at. Shortly after, with the the FBI in hot foot pursuit of our escaping trio, Streich stops in the middle of the road to chew out his son giving the FBI plenty of time to catch up and back shoot Rothman.Even the final fight scene, Streich does not indicate that not only is his life on the line but the whole world can be destroyed, but rather that he does not really want to hurt his boss.

Rob_Taylor Another day, another Sy-Fy (do you think they understand how ridiculous that contraction is?) production. Guess what? It's awful! I know, right? You'd have thought by now they would have taken the criticism of thousands of people on board and worked to produce movies that don't make you want to smash your face into a brick wall in stunned disbelief.Sadly, it appears they are incapable of learning. Also, it appears, they are adept at hiring people to write sci-fi that exhibit an extreme form of the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Namely, they know enough to think they are clever, but actually are dumb as stumps.Apart from the utterly bobbins plot, which is just beyond ridicule, they proceed to ignore even basic science involving the characters and their abilities.Guns never jam or seem to need reloading. Satellite dishes never need to be aligned before use. Twenty year old technology works at first power up. The list is potentially endless.I felt sorry for Robert Knepper. He was by far the most capable actor here and actually tried really hard with his role. Sadly, his co-stars didn't put the same amount of effort into their parts. As a result, it seemed like his son and girlfriend had mental difficulties grasping the concept of the end of the world. They didn't. The actors playing them just had difficulties being actors.This effort also suffers from the "shaky-cam-to-make-it-look-more-real-and-exciting!" effect. It was clear that the cameraman had no direction other than "don't hold the camera still." Or maybe the guy holding the camera suffered from cerebral palsy, I don't know. Whatever, it's a nausea-inducing wobble-fest that gets annoying almost immediately.All in all, this one, like all SyFy movies, smells like something your cat squirted out of its rectum after rummaging in your junk-food-addicted neighbour's garbage bin.It's the kind of movie that makes you wonder if you've fallen through a hole in space and time and ended up in an alternate universe where the laws of physics are not just different, they're ludicrous.Just who is the target audience for this tripe? Do SyFy think so little of their viewers that they think any old bullshit they film will do? Surely they'd be better off spending the production budget on securing broadcast rights to actual movies, rather than trying to make their own? I really don't know what SyFy are doing. I really don't. They can produce some decent TV shows, but movies appear beyond them. What's worse, they are associating actors who should know better with utter garbage.SyFy channel....please stop!

padron702 There are so many things wrong with this movie, where to start.People with a soccer ball size hole in their chest tend to not be able to talk.Synopsis : Neutron star particle large enough and dense enough to go thru the entire earth damage our magnetosphere and stop the planet from rotating bringing on global extinction.Given the current state of astrophysics the existence of such a particle is theoretically possible but that it would cause the type of damage to our planet is not even remotely possible.Given the mass of the earth and it's sheer inertia it would take a lot more than a single particle no matter how dense to counteract that force.Then there are those rays of solar radiation that seem to make it thru the magnetosphere and slice across the earth, hitting anything with a badge when they are about to arrest the well meaning hacker teenager who only wants to expose the big evil government plot to not tell people of the impending doom.Luckily those rays don't go after the hackers dad who happens to be one of the a fore mentioned badge wearer of the Federal variety, and work together with the well meaning scientific geek'ete agent of the same variety to find a fix.All they have to do is restore the magnetosphere and push start the earths spin with two satellites... peace of cake.Enter scientist who saw the error of his ways after creating a dooms day device that will now be just the ticket to fix this sticky situation.Good thing that the scientist even while being under arrest was able to hack into the system and have his 'device' moved from a guarded warehouse to some other location.So the evil Federal agents are trying to get the device back and how do they do that.. well they shoot at the only people who know where it is.. and shockingly the scientist is shot and killed. Luckily he is able to tell his group of do-gooders the GPS coordinates of the 'Device' and some other cryptic mumbling...So the big ending battle, bad feds vs good ( scientist-geek'ete/hacker-teen/agent-Dad ) for control of the device ( satellites ). Good guys want to save the world, bad guys want to save a small section so that they can create a small green zone of safety and screw the planet nearly 7 billion people.Good thing that a non technical federal field agent could find the two wires that would make the satellite up-link work. Phew! Close one.Save the planet, save a handful of people... decisions decisions.. Funny how all the people going after the good guys would be dead if they succeed. I guess that little point went unnoticed. Silly mindless Federal agents.But once again the suns radiation comes to the rescue and smote those evil doers. Good ol' solar radiation. But it misses the main evil agent, dang it. So he manages to shoot the nice geek'ete and begins to smash the up-link. Silly evil agent didn't count on agent-dad kicking his butt, not to mention that the solar radiation always gets it's man. Poof, no more evil agent. The planet is saved and all is good. Miller time.
