So I guess this is the 00's gay cable flick equivalent to the 80's B-action movies, the ones starring Chuck Norris or Michael Dudikoff (and that's a weird filmic phenomenon if you ask me).
Only this one was made with even less money than its ancient precursors, and that hurts the movie. The filmmakers try hard to provide a suspenseful small scale action substitute for the genre's requisite action-driven big finale, but they don't succeed, and you can't blame them, when you see the little production muscle they had to work with. And basically that's the biggest letdown of the movie. Otherwise it's reasonably entertainning, and all the actors are likable (you gotta love Rae Dawn Chong).

I really liked this movie because of the gay theme and positive story. There are many "mainstream" movies out there with gay characters that are not positive at all. This story shows the gay men in a positive way and doing something with purpose. What it also shows is how the military discharges men and women, and in this case men who are gay because they are gay. The main character was sick of "living a lie" within the military and came out. It was then that they discharged him. You can be hetrosexual and advertise it to everyone, but let someone say that they are gay and they are discharged from the military. Granted this is a B thriller movie, but in my book it is A+. I recommend everyone seeing this movie. If for nothing else, to see a gay positive movie that does have a happy ending.

a middling review,

Well, I liked the story idea. Two meteors are heading towards Earth and one, the sneaky one hiding behind the first, is on a collision course with our Planet! Will anyone listen? No, of course not. Except one scientist who resigned from the military, coming out as a gay man in the process. Yes, there still isn't any place for a gay man in the service...but all is not lost, he will still have his chance to save the day. And the Earth. A nice thought. The acting was fair. The two actors playing gay were a touch awkward with each other, though very handsome. I wished fervently for more obvious intimacy between them, after all they are seriously involved, right? Well, at least an attempt is being made to have a heroic gay couple. Both actors are very mascluine, not parodies, for once. I only wish they were more comfortable with each other. So it depends what you like.
