maniuis Well, I would like to start by saying that I am not surprised by the fact that only a fistful of people know about this excellent movie... they are too busy watching Transformers or American Pie XII to care about some serious film-making. I will not ruin the plot of the film for those who have not seen it yet. I shall only say that if you somehow manage to get a copy of this film, you are on for a treat. Of course, you should not expect multi-million dollar visual effects or or even high definition image -considering this is a low budget film made more than 15 years ago. If you care about interesting stories, well acted and -most importantly- very original, then you shall not be disappointed. When you finish watching, tell your friends about it, "like" the movie on Facebook and Twitter, start a chain-mail telling the world about it, etc. This is the kind of film everybody should see at least once in their lifetimes.

misfit320 In a time when movies and TV films are jam-packed with CGI aliens and robots and such, it was pretty interesting to see a Sci-fi movie where there's no 100% proof that it involves aliens.That being said, this film is terrible.I'll pass up on the time frame believability because they had to fit the movie into a 2 hour slot for TV, and had to jam a lot of storyline into a short amount of time. But there are so many things that would not, or could not, happen. For example, what are the chances that EWN would have a camera crew in Colombo, Sri Lanka to interview Arthur C. Clarke? And why would their science consultant end up being their co-anchor? And why would a high-ranking Pentagon officer decide to take time out from the crisis to make some glib comments on the news? Shouldn't he be doing his job? However, I will say this: great premise (especially since it was a TV movie, the news format was rather effective). It had potential to be a huge hit... but I don't think it was (I just watched this film in my astronomy class).::POSSIBLE SPOILER::In my personal opinion, they should have ended the film with the asteroids raining down on the Earth... injecting the Shakespeare quote at the end seemed... frivolous, and an attempt to be poetic. Sometimes, especially in a movie like this, you want to leave the viewer with a lump in their gut. My personal opinion.Overall, an enjoyable movie. I'd watch it again if it was on TV, but I wouldn't go out of my way to see it.

abooz i saw the movie about 6 to seven years ago, and i'm searching for the movie online now (2003), that will say how much the movie impressed me. i was watching it at home in malaysia and it hit me that this movie may be a reality one day (very very slim chances). after watching the expression of the last newscaster saying his last words to his family and knowing that the time is over very soon is one of the scenes a remember until now. never mind the story line maybe a bit odd once you start to think about it after watching the movie, but, the movie gives u a chance to look at life again and remember that life can over within seconds. so make use of the time that u have. thats the message i got from tis movie.sad that it is not released on vcd or any other form. I would surely like to own one copy of it. can anyone help?i would recommend anyone this movie.

mcroy I saw this pretty late at night, and it draws you in so much. The plot twists and turns in an amazing story that mirrors a real-situation, so much that I thought it was a real news broadcast too. Only the appearance of Q from Star Trek, and references to 1994 gave the game away.The end sequence, from the destruction of the 3 meteors onwards was as tense as many of the scenes in films like Scream. It also showed man's darker side, and gave many lessons for the future.It wouldn't work on the big screen, but on the small screen it is one of the best films I have seen in a long time. And that's saying a lot for a film of such small stature!
