Perfect cast and a good story

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The movie was way too long, 3 hours and 10 minutes. The producers could have reduced the time by eliminating things like the Cantankerous grandpa, and his 2 thieving, yet adorable grand kids. These kids didn't even try to ask permission to take the store owner's things, they just did it. The kids were so sugary sweet at times; I felt the need to get my insulin. Just getting rid of their silly ' Man in the Moon' parts would have shortened the film by at least 30 minutes. Also the science behind the movie was terrible. Yet many people are led to believe it was American made. It was not! The movie is Canadian/German and Greek. They just used the United States, and it's president as the focal point of the movie. it would have been better if they had stuck to their topic, and created action scenes which revolved around the moon's impact. Such as earthquakes, electrical storms, tsunamis, loss of gravity in certain areas, and people's reactions to them. Good science, and great action would have made this a wonderful film.

-This Review contains spoilers-That the "science" in this movie doesn't make any sense at all is not the biggest problem, it's a movie, although there are a lot of obvious blunders.The script however slowly drags itself forward, there is way too much irrelevant details in this movie.What irritated me the most about this movie were the grandfather and those annoying brads, sure just crowbar somebody to the ground when he tries to defend his supplies against thieves.The acting in general (apart from those kids) wasn't all that bad. Natasha Henstridge is always a pleasure to watch.I rate it a 3 out of 10

Though there weren't elements the same as the hit 1998 Michael Bay film, Armageddon, there were some elements VERY similar. The story plot, that the moon was hit by an asteroid many times the size of the one that killed off the dinosaurs, was actually pretty good, CG could've been a little better, but not everyone is Michael Bay. The part I did not like the most is the part on the moon, to me it wasn't suspenseful, and I don't like the fact that they pretty much split the moon in half. Kind of like in Armageddon. Other than those it was OK. Probably a 3 out of 5. But if you are an Armageddon fan like me, don't watch this movie.

My wife and I watched this to its end. We did so in the misplaced hope that it would get better and that surely it could not sink further.The acting is adequate.The casting is adequate.The photograpy, similarly, is adequate.But oh my. In a 'coffee-spurting-out-of-my-nose' manner, the plot is simply ludicrous and the errors were legion. Let's make a small list.a) Sextillion. I've never heard anyone use this word. If they mean 10 to the 21st power, why not say it? c) They had the concept of an orbit utterly wrong. Orbits aren't 'stable'; they're closed or they are not. If they're closed, they're an ellipse of some sort.d) The orbit must have the central body at its focus - not at its geometric centre.e) The term 'axis peak' is never used by anyone. Except in this movie. It doesn't mean anything. If you mean apogee, why not say it? Ap-oh-gee. It's not hard, really.f) If the gravitic anomalies affect larger objects but not smaller ones, why do the oceans and the atmosphere not fly up into the sky? We see a laden container ship floating out of the sea, why isn't the sea also sucked upward? Why isn't the air rushing past in an inverted tornado? g) Nobody has manipulated gravity through electromagnetic means - the 'hero' with a straight face says that he built a machine to levitate objects in this manner. Why was he not laughed at? h) The magic device that saves the day is designed to magnetize the Moon's core and repel the hypermass causing all the woe. Take two small magnets, hold them such that they have the same poles facing each other, and let them go. One magnet will spin violently and slam into the other. It will not be ejected into the Sun.i) The energy needed to flip this gazillion tonne mass out of the Moon has to come from somewhere.j) I've lost the will to type.The director should hang his head in shame. This was a very bad mini-series. I laughed at all the wrong places, I actually *wanted* the Moon to grind into the Earth so as to show the characters what utter bullshit their magical plans were.If they had tried to repel the moon with magic it would have been more coherent.My disbelief is easily suspended. But it has to be coherent and make sense within itself. This failed and as a result I couldn't care about the characters as they were spouting nonsense with straight faces.
