What I Learned Watching This Movie

Didn't you also notice that the large remaining piece of the *comet* (it only *looks* like a meteor) left a vapor (smoke?) trail and made a whooshing sound while traveling through outer, airless space?

Great list, but I thought I would add a few more:

1. When he finds Lynn (beautiful actress with jeep) she said she got sick from drinking a coke. Now, I understand how the drinking water might be contaminated, but the sodas. Really!

2. When he goes to the CDC clinic to talk to someone about a possible cure, the lead scientist is being held captive with a gun pointed at her by a lunatic. How did he find her so soon? If he was with a gang, why was he alone with her? Why did he think the gun was going to help with a female scientist?

3. When they are driving in her jeep in the desert and the meteors start to hit, why does he drive faster and more erratically? Why not stop? Also, why does the motor suddenly stop, then he smells gas, and then the meteor hits it? Why didn't he stop before?

4. They happen to find the bottled water in an alley, and two armed criminals are in the process of finding the water. Ok, that's bad enough, but now the "FBI" agents happen to pass by? What? Really? Talk about coincidence. Then, they can't hit either of the criminals as they are out in the open?

5. After the ATV's stopped the SUV, one of the "FBI" agents was hit with a bullet and he could hardly be seen by the gunmen. What a shot!

6. Within a couple days of the meteor strikes, most of the good guys are killed off and only criminals and ATV gangs are left. And these ATV ganged are very organized and well armed. I just don't buy it.

7. The meteor strikes hit at random times throughout the movie over the course of days. I would guess the meteor strikes would be over in a matter of hours and certainly over in a day.

8. Why would the first meteors from the debris field hit days and days before the big meteor/asteroid? They would be much closer in proximity with each other.

9. The government is evil again! The National Security Agency is in a huge coverup and refusing to tell the people what's really going on. In addtion, Peter is a real scum bag and takes over from Harvey Pitts and then everyone in the NSA hates Peter with a passion and are willing to help the good guy (Harvey) free the detainees. OMG, you have to take a lot of leaps on this one.

I could go on and on, but one good science detail guy should catch most of these holes in the story. It did have a great premise, but how can they miss so much?

Here's another thought, most of the people watching Syfy are a step up from those watching other reality TV shows. So, why is the writing and use of detail so bad when the audience will catch most of these problems?

My favorite was the software from the missile launching central (or whatever that was).
They launch the missili by pressing the ESC key! xD

I saw the movie being very open minded and i didn't feel like i wasted 1h20min mainly because the main characters were likeable and the actors performed well (considering the bad script), but the movie has surely lots of flaws.

Because at least in prison and at least in death, you know, I wouldn't be in *beep* Bruges.

Here are some more.

1) When running around during a meteor strike, meteors are only harmful if they land further than 10 feet away from people.

2) A meteor the size of a football field packing force to strike like a thousand nuclear warheads and should cause global extinction can be watched with no problems by people standing 40 miles away.

3) Government is more concerned with quarantining people instead of going after real criminals.

4) When rescued by a stranger, go with him along with him on a long journey even though you were in the middle of doing personal stuff.

5) Meteors killed off all the animals.

1. If you're an FBI agent and your son is being held captive (in quarantine) in Los Angeles, which will be destroyed in 3 days, better stop and investigate water criminals in an alley-way before high-tailing it off to Los Angeles.

2. Meteors from a blown-up larger meteor, somehow turn into sidewinder missiles when the strike the desert, coming in from all angles, kind of like the directors played too much "Missile Command" when they were college students.

3. The Los Angeles fire-burned mountains made a great (free!) set for the last 30 mins of this movie.

1. When the daughter you ignore says you really need to see something AFTER you saw a huge light in the sky, you tell her to go away.
2. When your wife calls to say something is wrong with your daughter, you choose to ignore your daughter could be dying and try to help your co-worker.
3. You know there may be an alien virus so if someone is not moving, you touch them without a mask or glove. If they are conscious, you let them cough all over you. So does that mean the hero learned everything about what was going on and created a virus within days? The movie is so lazy, it doesn't even try to explain it while all this is happening.
4. You can find a cure, but can't tell a woman wants out of a car to vomit.
5. You know the water is bad, but you drink the mystery bottle sitting next to you after you pass out.


The only good thing was that the so-called "hero" wasn't allowed to be with his quarantined family since he didn't deserve them. This was so bad, I didn't bother to finish the movie. Considering the reviews, I think I made the right decision.

Okay, okay, it was pretty lame in innumerable ways. However, Joe Lando is always interesting to watch and a good actor, and I'll put up with almost anything to see him. I actually got to meet him at The Hollywood Show last summer in LA, and he was lovely to me. We talked for about ten minutes about Dr. Quinn and his new projects. He'll always be Sully to me, of course, but time marches on, and whatever he's able to do I'll probably watch. I just wish he'd get a really good movie to work on. He's certainly up to it, and, as he showed us in Dr. Quinn, he can do most of his own stunts. He certainly deserved a better script than this was, that's for sure. Even so, he gave it his best shot, and he was the best thing about the movie, which really was a head-scratcher , I have to admit.
