Underrated - A low-budget cross between Armageddon and Hunt for Red October
This definitely kept me entertained and I think it's quite underrated. Fans of sci-fi disaster films like Armageddon will enjoy this if they can see past the extreme lack of polish, into the endearing earnestness and ambition that lies beneath.
Fairly good rendition of a science fiction movie
I was glad to see no horrible camera work where everything is jerking around and very amateurish looking. I would definitely watch this again.
The acting was quite satisfactory and I know that TV movies do not have the same budget as movies released to the theaters, this was definitely captivating.
The premise IS possible (as possible as the Van Allen radiation belt catching fire in Voyage). The effects were just fine. I found this movie to be entertaining and that's really what I watch a movie for.
Nice storyline, not nice dialogue
Ozone alert!
I agree
However; when you factor in Scifi Channel is a subsidiary of NBC, all is made clear. NBC isn't know for making a great number of hit shows, itself. There are a limited number, of exceptions, like 'House'.
Yet, As an example of the wisdom of NBC's Board. In a colossal moment of shear stupidity, only rivaled by Coke's 'New Coke' fiasco. They decided they're few hits, give them the right to dictate separate rates for their programs on iTines. Not sure which is the dumber move, going down this path or being too stupid to admit they were wrong in the first place.
But back to topic, do you actually expect to find better programming scripts or show descions by these men... I think this is the best they are able to come up with. Any hits they my have are flukes, explained by the same theory that says a room full of chimpanzees can type out a copy of the Constitution, given enough time.

Brad Stamp: We need to get better informed. I want a direct feed from every observatory that you can get a hold of and I want them patched in here as soon as possible.
