CriticsCritics: 43
AudienceAudience: 6.1

A massive comet is heading toward Earth, threatening global destruction. As leaders organize a joint space mission to stop it, a young reporter investigates the danger while ordinary people struggle with fear, family pressures, and difficult choices.

My take

You may enjoy this if you prefer thoughtful, human-centered disaster stories over nonstop action, but Not for you if you want the explosive spectacle and fast pace of Independence Day or 2012.
