Just watched this. About the only interesting thing about the movie, is the lead scientist actor who I guess is goofing off while away from filming episodes for Heroes.
Ok comet approaches earth, fragment breaks off during damn close pass. Fragment whammos into north central Alaska. No one notices but some caribou I suppose. Still it creates half a million dead somehow.
Earth's magnetic field is badly damaged (that's the focus of the film).
This is a pole shift type disaster film, not a big rock movie by the way.
The magnetic shield starts going nuts, auroras for everyone. Oh and there's these really impressive bursts of emp that start hitting around the globe zapping people that are in close proximity to anything electrical currently turned on.
Then the plates start getting in on the action and you get classic Hollywood cracks that follow roads and never seem to harm buildings. That, and of course there are people that can stand frozen in shock as a crack opens under them, even though they could have just jumped to safety instead.
It was not tooooo bad a movie until you guessed it, looks like we need a great big ole nuclear explosion to solve this here problem.
Why do they always think nukes can fix everything? Especially as even our biggest possible bang is chicken feed in comparison to mother nature on an average day.
My thoughts on this film. Watch the first 1/2 to 3/4s of the film then get distracted and miss the rest
And yep, they even gave us a black US president. Gee, I wonder who he was supposed to be eh.
