From some of the other reviews, I expected this to be a bit less of a chore to watch. Without revealing any plot elements, let me just say that this movie starts out with some awkward dialogue; the acting is laughable at times, and the plot seems to progress far too quickly. I don't claim to be a film expert, but as a whole this seemed rushed. And why did we need so many shots of the meteors from space? We get it, they're heading towards the Earth. Some mild scientific inaccuracies and cliché plot suspense elements are present, but I can't say that I didn't expect them after the first few scenes.
I'm sure this film would be bearable for a rainy day or a lazy Saturday morning, and I'm thankful that it wasn't much longer. I wasn't a huge fan of these two films either, but I'd say that Armageddon and Deep Impact would be much more worth your time.
**Mild Spoiler Ahead** (are you really planning on watching it?)
Favourite quote from the film: "Come on, if a meteorite can knock down a tree, you should be able to push it with your legs." It was a huge tree. Not much logic in that (terrible) scene, or in the rest of the film.
