Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Chismchick1 Don't go into this thinking it's going to be based on possible events. It's just fun. The second part was wayy better to me than the first. It kept me wanting to know more. Sure the people in the first ship were boring and I wondered why the First Lady was even on the FIRST ever flight of an experimental ship that flies into space.That was dumb. But overall it's a good watch. It was crazy bad-ass to see what the woman in Afghanistan did to help her people survive, I was like "WOW!!" The end was so typical and clichè of disaster movies. Someone ALWAYS has to stay behind and explode themselves to save the world. But whatever. It was great. There were a lot of errors like being inside the hangar and being able to get satellite signal.. The people on first ship were experiencing 9G's while slingshotting around the moon instead of 0, and many more. The ending was a little abrupt for me but oh well. Watch it and judge for yourself. If your open minded and understand this is a fantasy/sci fi movie you won't be disappointed.

paulouscan What a pity that theme sci -fi rich is so miserably wasted ! I do not know this author , Jeff Schechter, but he demonstrates here several weaknesses. I suppose he has at least sit down with an astrophysics or modern cosmology teacher to get some clues about phenomena and processes involved in the operating process of the sun or stars. But even if he took notes , he obviously did not understand much and made every effort on this point to have it all wrong in his scenario. He is constantly mistaken in speed, distance, time , effects on Earth's atmosphere. He transforms electromagnetic effects into solid shelling that special effects are quick to express explosion and firing devastating material. Then there are inconsistencies in other areas such as building structure, windows crashing to reappear intact as if by magic. And then there is the human situations. Some were so easy to solve such as Afghanistan's where Julia Ormond abandons his critical American colleague injured while it would have been so simple to carry him in a makeshift stretcher by people who accompanied them. And all that goes on and on in a happy inconsistency. The U.S. president leaving the incompetent commander appointed against his will continue to lead spatial operations instead to cancel the abused appointment and reinstate former director, resulting in the entire suite of disaster! Frankly, Jeff Schechter, should return to the classroom. Otherwise, interpretation and direction are about the same quality level, but it's hard to judge on such a scenario. What I regret most is that the author, in his scientific misunderstanding, has severed us a great opportunity to popularize the technology of scalar waves . It would have made the film much more interesting!

kyles-852-795804 Spoiler Alert!!!! This entire review is a spoilerJeff has decided to put forth over 160min of propagandist drama that lacks in both draw and intelligence and most especially direction.Aside from the poor directing, writing, and staging... The plot is a poor attempt of and (simply put) leftest garbage.Basically, the main plot is simply.. A corporate interest space flight puts the world at risk with a futuristic spacecraft and a flight gone wrong. Then it's left up to Uncle Sam and a scientific genius to save the day with their secret and improved version of a stolen knockoff of the same space craft. (Obviously the Gov can do it better).Here are the subtle sub-plots that you get to trudge though..Corporate greed threatens the world.The Gov and Scientists are the savors.Hispanic's are good people who want nothing more than to help.Small city bureaucracy is evil.Capitalistic entrepreneurs are greedy.Capitalistic entrepreneurs need to learn to help others. Oh, and The worst subplot of all...Radical Muslim Fanatics are really nice people.. If you are willing to murder a child to save the family honor.Good stuff Jeff - Can't wait to see your next load of CR@P!!

amigajoe The reviews so far have fallen into the 'OMFG it's the worst thing EVAR' or 'OMFG it's a Stellar Masterpiece' camp. Both factions seem more interested in hyperbole than actual description. In reality it's not bad. Not great, but not bad. The FX for the space flight and solar stuff are actually pretty good. As for the rest, they did a decent job with a limited budget. Characterization isn't a mile deep, but hey, this is an action-drama, not Shakespeare. It's amazingly long, but that's not really a negative; you're getting more movie for your $;-). Current rating is lower than it deserves, it's a good 5.0-6.0. It won't change your life, but it's a decently entertaining flick. Watch without fear.
