This "movie" was one of the worst I have seen. With the representation of Australia, I wasn't sure what country I was looking at. The accents were very suspicious, something like a mix of South African, British, Kiwi (New Zealand) and Australia.
Other errors, Australia does not have capital punishment, we do NOT execute prisoners. There were no locations that I recognised, so I am not sure where it was really filmed. Sure there were some "gratuitous" shots of Sydney, but they looked like stock footage. The mountains were not like any that I recognised in Australia. The "echidna" that came out of the door in the professor's home, looked more like a porcupine to me.
When they came out of the mountains to look at the "ruins" of Sydney and in the commentary toward the end, there was nothing at all like it. In reality, when you come over the mountains from the west, the actual city is still 50 kilometres away and more of a tiny cluster of buildings on the horizon. Also, looking down on the city, behind it was a large body of water with a large landmass in the distance. Nothing like that exists.
The acting was poor, the "structure", as such disjointed at best. The licence plates on the cars bore no resemblance to New South Wales (the state of which Sydney is the capital) plates.
The graphics were third rate. In addition, anyone who knows anything about physics would know that a supernova would not "shatter" planets as in the beginning but simply boil them away. Also, the large asteroid that supposedly crashed into the sun would never have gotten that far, it would have also boiled away before being able to make impact (on what it would impact, I am not sure, since the sun has a very deep and dense "atmosphere" of super hot plasma). The sun is about 1.4 million kilometres in diameter and wouldn't even notice a little blip like an asteroid.
All in all, if I were the producer of that "movie" I would hang my head in shame. The money could have been better spent on something more worthwhile. To the writers and producers I say "If you want to make a movie like this, do your homework."
(By the way, I have used Australian spelling which is different from American spelling, so please don't get worked up over that.)
