The opening of the movie is so illogical that it may actually explain why wrong thinking is so prevalent. Ice-T makes a good point: Do poor communities (of any race) build guns, or grow poppy plants (the basics of hard drugs)? Of course not. Ice-T then makes a bad point: He blames the white man. What? I grew up in the slums of NYC until I left at age 17 and never looked back. Our neighborhood was a mix of blacks and Puerto Ricans. Many times, as a teen, I had to step over drug addicts and bums who camped overnight on the inner steps to the 3 story building. Sometimes, I saw needles dangling down an arm. HERE is the false logic: NO one FORCED us to take drugs or murder others. And, the only way drugs become popular is if there are buying customers. No blacks or whites are FORCED to buy or to use drugs. No one is forced to pull a trigger without a legal reason. So, because the initial logic is false, the rest of the movie fails. You cannot build a home upon lies, or a good movie upon bad logic.

This movie is alright! I've seen it a number of times. It's one of those movies that you can see a number of times and not get bored of it.Mario van Peebles and tommy Lister jr. gave good performances in my opinion. I like the idea of a religious activist believing that God had decided the world's fate and that it should be interfered with. Good special effects.
I don't know why this movie didn't come out at the cinema because I like the movie. Good story. Coolio's gangster character was a brief but interesting part of the film. A few things could have been done a little better, but a good movie on the whole. Worth watching.

spoilers....now this was a great movie. forget armageddon and deep impact and those other crappy movies. you got a meteorite coming to earth, bigger than the one in armageddon i'll add, and there's only one way to destroy it, a special nuclear weapon made by a scientist. this scientist is the only one with the password to unlock it but there's a religious fanatic (mario van peebles) who feels it's god's will for the meteorite to destroy us all and he kidnaps the scientist, also shows tiny lister junior in a great role as the guard. you got this one female cop who's the best in the field and he gets a former criminal who she arrested out of jail for help to find the fanatic and than get the scientist to save the planet. i won't ruin it by telling the ending but this was such a good movie. the only thing that actually seemed out of place is the fact that the scientist is the only one who created such a powerful weapon and the only one with the key, he's such an important man yet he's just a college professor. but hey it'z all in good fun it's only one minor detail the movie was awesome

A direct to video blockbuster involving meteors destroying the planet. Thats where the similarities between Not So Deep Impact, Yawnageddon, and this movie end and actual entertainment begins. The movie moves at an impressive pace with some amiable performances by all (except for an offensively lifeless performance by Amis). And the script actually serves up enough twists to keep the noodle somewhat active. It kind of treats your brain like a computer, occasionally nudging the mouse to get rid of the screen-saver. Mario Van-Peebles is in top form as a religious cult leader welcoming the end of the world.Well worth a rent.
