Enjoyable but so silly (spoilers)


Whilst it was surprising they killed off the crew and passengers they also zapped the main reason to watch this amiably weak TV mid-week movie. But it's interesting to see how good the special effects were for what was presumably a very modest budget - I guess costs are being driven down all the time as the really big spending, CGI driven films push the boundaries. For the outstanding silly bits I nominate (1) an air force pilot/astronaut who squeals and looks panicked when the anything goes wrong and (2) British Prime Minister signing off with 'God save the Queen' - I guffawed most loudly when that line was said.
And yet I've seen less enjoyable big budget films so mustn't grumble.

PS Logged in to IMDB (which I rarely do since then zapped the boards) just to enter my ratings and found I'd rated this film before and completely forgotten it. Seemed to enjoy it slightly more this time but I sometimes find that - guess it's the mood I'm in at the time.
