Don't Believe the Hype

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The acting in this movie is really good.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

It's a shame that the History Channel presents a theory that was postulated some 25 years ago but has since been proved wrong or at least unnecessary by most scientists, without even mentioning that this theory is outdated and mostly abandoned.To begin with, the theory was based on a hypothesis that mass extinctions occur on regular 26-million year intervals. This is no longer believed to be true. In addition, recent analysis of data on outer solar system object orbital patterns suggest that Nemesis couldn't possibly exist. And several detailed astronomical surveys that should have detected Nemesis failed to do so.The History Channel should stick to facts, or at least mark unpopular hypotheses as such.
