5.0 out of 5 stars Very interesting, plausable, good effects so far, June 22, 2009
By Boston Legal addict "r2katz" (Redlands, California USA) - See all my reviews
  
I'm writing this after watching the first half of this miniseries. I find the writing to be intelligently written, the acting the same....My feeling is that they're not going for sensationalism but more realism. I don't know about "brown" asteroids (heavy asteroids) but it seems plausable (SPOILER ALERT) that one could hit the moon and cause it to be heavier, hitting with such force that it could change the moon's orbit. The special effects are awesome, esp. for a made-for-tv movie. As I say, I'm not an astronomer/scientist but it all seems logical. I'm looking forward to the conclusion next week and signed up to be notified when the DVD comes out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Average Disaster Movie, October 20, 2009
By CFH "chillnhill" (Blue Ridge Summit, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Impact (Video On Demand)
"Impact" was originally a made for TV mini-series so it is lacking the big Hollywood studio "feel". This is actually a good thing if you want the drama and character development that is possible in a movie that is 3 hours and 10 minutes long.

No plot spoilers from me; the movie centers on the events that occur immediately after what is believed to be an asteroid hits the moon (which happens very shortly after the movie starts), the effects it has on the earth, and the efforts of the governments and scientists of the world to set things right... before the world is destroyed.

I am a Sci-Fi and disaster movie junkie, so I likely rated this higher than many movie purists would since there are a lot of scientific faults, implausible events, and has almost every cliché from just about every other disaster movie. The special effects ranged from laughable to outstanding, but the cinematography was actually very good. The acting was right on par for a TV movie and the characters well played and given time to develop.

While all movies of this type require some suspension of disbelief, there were several things that bothered me more than the obvious technical and scientific flaws, and the biggest was the portrayal of the government and military leaders as obstructionist and paranoid to the point where they would risk the lives of every person on the planet. That is a cliché that needs to be let go of.

Overall, this was a watchable and even enjoyable movie if you are a disaster movie fan.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mein Gott! Das Ist Badd!!, November 6, 2009
By Born2Late (New York, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Acht Du Leber! What a ripoff... The studios behind Armageddon & The Day After Tomorrow must've given the OK for this. It's a cheesy, made-for-TV-movie_ish ripoff of them both. H*ll, they even had a Dennis Quade lookalike. I paid $1.99 for a weekend rental special. I think that was a bit high for this. This is one of the few times I'm glad I don't have a dog. The poor thing would be howling for an hour over this.
