For science fiction content, this is the best sci-fi movie. This is a real world solution to meteorites. Hit them with a microwave beam to cause out-gassing which causes the meteorite to redirect its path. This what science fiction should be about one scenario and one technology. Untried technology has awry results. Meteorites lead to ice ages.The CGI looks like CGI. Nice female presence who get to some "acting" on scene even if its a little forced. To people who think cold is bad, for items- cold keeps equipment in excellent condition- keeps humidity right down and decay e.g. Lawson's Hut has survived 50 years. Freezing temperatures are only bad for animals and plants and some metals if stressed.

Only two small things stop Post Impact from scoring any lower, and those are Dean Cain, who tries his best though he has been much better, and the dog, who is adorable, very well-trained and certainly the best actor in Post Impact. Which is not entirely complimentary seeing as the rest of the acting is so stiff that wooden planks are more animated in comparison. The worst was Joanna Taylor, a total blank and there is nothing appealing about her. They are saddled by the shallow ciphers that the movie passes for characters and some of the most stilted dialogue, that is far too heavy on the small-talk, of any movie seen recently. Post Impact is also edited in a frenzied and unfinished manner and the special effects are on par with some of the worst effects from the 70s-80s. In short, very cheap and out of date. The music is generic and repetitive and the sound and sound effects are very muddied, the gun shots lack authenticity and any crucial dialogue is made difficult to hear or properly understand. Even worse is the story, plodding and ridiculous, with an out-of-place sex scene, one of the stupidest endings of any movie from the past ten years or so and countless mistakes and goofs that take away from everything. It was also not easy to tell what the basic story was, and the movie itself probably didn't either, seeing how much it jumped around to the point of near-incoherence. On the whole, with the exceptions of Cain and the dog a waste of time, though personally there are worse movies out there. 2/10 Bethany Cox

When I saw the title, I thought "oh cool, a movie about attempting to survive the end of the world." I tried to ignore the poor reviews. I tried to ignore the fact that the impact occurred within the first 10 minutes, with no character or plot development. But it's only 20 minutes in and I want to gouge my eyes and ears out. I'm sure it's not the fault of the actors and actresses in the movie. This script is just horrible. Where is the character background? Where is the the setting? Where is the plot? Why do the overly emo former army captain and the overly aggressive army colonel hate each other? I take back what I said before about the actors and actresses as well. SOME of them are okay. The rest just plain suck. I wasted 20 minutes on this movie. I'm not wasting another hour and forty minutes.

To quote our indispensable forum members: "Blank tits! Lots of death! And bad actors!" It's all there, but sadly, any sense is out cold, acting is stiff, pacing is glacial and if there was any point in the movie, it was put on ice.What happened: a comet smacked straight into Russia, sending dust into the atmosphere and screwing up the global climate, so to speak. I'm still wondering, who invented the "New United Northern States" name, but hey, nuns didn't save the world any time before, did they? Anyway, someone starts playing with a half-forgotten orbital microwave cannon (which failed to knock down that comet mentioned earlier, but apparently works pretty well as a WMD), so the nuns send in a crack(-smoking) team of special (needs) operatives, consisting of a dishonorably discharged hero, his dog, stuck-up colonel, owner of aforementioned blank tits and daughter of the WMD designer, to shut down both the cannon and whoever's fiddling with it.What happens next, is a parade of bad CGI, cheap set decorations, cheesy acting, gratuitous display of blank tits, pointless subplots and cringe-worthy dialogue. So don't wonder why the reception was so frigid.
