An asteroid is heading for earth… I know, we’ve all
heard that one before. Obviously the US government fails to destroy it and
instead the asteroid passes earth, pushing its orbit closer to the sun.
Temperatures start to rise and the only place where
people will be able to survive is Antarctica. Policeman Tom (van Diem)
current girlfriend Carly (Von Peetten) ex girlfriend Bonnie (Terzo) their
daughter Kimberley and Carly’s brother and scientist Nathan (Gale) have to
head to an airport to catch a plane organized by Nathan.
In the meanwhile the city has descended into
anarchy and the group have to survive rising temperatures, looters and
rescue Nathan after he is kidnapped by a group of dirty cops.
I found the movie surprisingly watchable and
engrossing, despite a couple of glaring errors. Firstly temperatures are
boiling, yet all the cast members are wearing warm clothes and while every
body else is melting from being in the sun, they remain unscathed. Then of
course there is the home-made special effects…
Despite all that, and to my utter surprise, I still
ended up enjoying the film.
