Before you complain, yes I gave it a good rating. I will, however, say that it is one of the worst films of our time as a public vote. And I see that. The CGI, the plot and acting were pretty bad put the actual science behind it makes me want to think they did their homework on this. It is stated that a comet struck the sun which caused it to turn into a magnetar for a small amount of time. There is actually evidence to back this up. When a comet strikes the sun it produces waves of energy throughout it's surface causing giant solar flares. if a large enough one were to hit the sun it could produce something similar to a magnetar flare. The sun itself would not become a magnetar but that's good enough for me. The flare would be able to magnetize mercury and knock it out of orbit and the rest of the science seems to add up. As a movie, I'd have to say i quite enjoyed it. Albiet it is pretty bad seeing as it focuses on one area on the world, doesnt really make it easy to belive that there are freakin manned missions to mercury and the fact that there is almost no choas with civillians that the world is ending. I know that it's bad and I know that it was made on a low budget but I'm a sucker for low rated movies. Probably becuase I don't take into acount the realism of the scenario, I only focus on the main premice. Movies like Geostorm, Unfirended and Into the Storm have really low ratings but they are some of my favourites. I would say that I wouldn't reccomend the film unless you like crappy visuals but personally I liked it.

Who paid for the making of this ? I bet they are seriously ticked off now!!!!!!!! On almost every level this movie was a disgrace and a shameful attempt at making a film. The acting was so below par that even if they had put paper bags over their collective heads and we were not privy to their facial expressions we would still be throwing up. So the sun turned into a magnetar for a split second??? Yah, right and I just turned into a turnip for a few seconds - gasp, sigh disbelief. The other aspect is the poor graphics. I mean even a first year #d animation student would get the shadow right below and object on the ground. Not so here people. The scenes in the cockpit were in comparison brilliant and they were pretty poor indeed. OK Do not watch this film - it is a danger to your intelligence.

This movie is heavily underrated here imo. If anyone ever watches Sci-Fi and expects it to be believable, then they're delusional. This was as believable as Star Trek. The acting was good. The script was somewhat unique although space/earth collision stories are becoming more prevalent. The setting was pleasing and the special effects were good. The suspense was created by extreme circumstances in space with respect to magnetism and the conflict over how to deal with it. I found it entertaining, as much as a disaster movie can be. Not everyone survived, but at least Earth was saved in the end. The heroes - a female astronaut and her scientist hubby - equally credited for their roles in the event - awesome!!!

Just a quick review on this for you. First of all the storyline isn't great, but still watchable. There are many scientific errors and anyone with half a brain will find these really annoying or just plain funny. The special effects could be better but since its a low budget ill let them off with that one. The acting is probably the best part of this film, I actually think it wasn't that bad and I think people are quick to blame the acting as part of a films failure when a terrible storyline or sub par special effects are the main culprits. In conclusion it could of been soo much better with a revised plot and the obvious errors removed.
