    How is it possible for this to exist?

    Possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. Don't waste your time with this one period. The acting is unbelievably awful, the fake Russian guy, the mother and daughter, they should be struck off for life for injury to the public and the profession, maybe they should be sued under trades description or something similar!

    Who funds this kind of thing and why? When you think about it there must be some kind of scam involved people can't be that dumb. Someone knows it will flop and that's the idea, like betting on something to lose or a tax right off. I don't know and don't really care, but what I do care about is whilst this gets funded and made and waste's our time there is no funding for the wealth of true talent that exists in abundance ignored by those who pretend to care about film and the standard of our entertainment and education.

    So bad it's funny

    Let's begin with the positive: It actually has some great scenes, if you don't look at the whole of the film. There's a really cool near accident car stunt, for instance, and some cool space scenes.

    But by far the BEST part of this film, is all the comments you'll find yourself saying in reaction the incredibly terrible manuscript.

    Here's a couple: "Oh, the world is ending, and the girl is wondering what she'll pack in her beauty bag?" "Now, let's see... The world is ending, and we can't afford a space chase... No matter! Let's have a car chase instead - by the evil Hezbollah!" Now to the negative: It's a terrible film! No need to say more, really. It's so terrible some people might even find it entertaining.

    Do yourself a favor... DO NOT watch this!

    I know that the minimum for a comment is 10 lines but I'll have to work hard to come up with them for such a pile of crap. This is an insult to the intelligence of anyone older than 10 years. It makes your garden variety B movie look like an Oscar candidate. I guess in a Saturday afternoon, after a few 6-packers some guys just thought:

    "-Hey, we should make a sci-fi movie.

    -Wow, that's great! Let's do it!

    -OK, but how do we do it? We'll need a script, and actors and special effects and a lot of other things.

    -Never mind, we'll just wing it. We'll rent a warehouse and call it the secret base, a bunch of weird looking guys and call them scientists and that's pretty much it. Oh yes, we'll show a stream of rocks traveling through space form thousands of light-years headed towards a single point in the Universe: Earth. And that's pretty much all there is to it. Of course, let's not forget the two chicks who run through all the movie."

    So, they went on and made it. The only bad thing was that they never sobered up. So, instead of what it should have been, this pathetic excuse for a movie came up, which turns out to be a horrible rip off of Armageddon. If you're looking for an effective way to kill braincells go and watch this movie. Otherwise run for your life! My thumb is still glued to the fast forward button.

    not worth watching - not even for 5 minutes

    there is nothing positive to tell about this movie. Acting horrible - Story? "A scientist tries to save the Earth from the deadly blast of a star gone supernova." where are all the scientists, NASA experts, military, politicians, the president? One scientist is trying to save the Earth with the help of a Chinese woman (who obviously did not grow in China) and a half drunk Russian. Some poor Russian accent and a glass of vodka doesn't make a convincing Russian. Well yes there is a story, but it is really painful to see how poorly this story can be put together. Low budget is no excuse. I fell asleep after 30 minutes, don't waste your time and money on this flick.

    Avoid at all cost!!!

    This movie (if you could even call it so)is probably the most offending one to intelligence.

    They don't get more stupid than this.

    The whole time I asked myself: "Are they kidding me?!"

    Nothing is good in this movie!!! Story, acting, effects, NOTHING! It is a complete waste of time and money.

    People who made this will never get another cent for any more projects in the future, because they have proved them unworthy of it. No, they should be prosecuted for stupefying effects on people!

    GIVE ME BACK MY 90 MINUTES!!!
