Editorial Review:
A rogue asteroid smashes into the moon in a tremendous explosion of rock and debris. Within days, disastrous abnormalities start happening on Earth. What started as the most beautiful and the largest meteor shower in 10,000 years unexpectedly becomes the catalyst for a potential collison between the moon and planet Earth. The world's leading scientists, Alex Kittner (David James Elliott, TV's JAG) and Maddie Rhodes (Natasha Henstridge, Species) have 39 days to stop the moon's course or the Earth - - and all of mankind - - will perish. Also starring James Cromwell (W. and The Green Mile). The countdown is on.
Impact Reviews:
A good SciFy Desaster Movie 
2009-11-29 - I really enjoyed this movie. The science behind the science fiction, was flawed, however, saying that, the acting and the story line where where both superb.
Don't watch this movie for the science, watch it for entertainment, like you would watch Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter. It has happeness, sadness, and love, all the things that make up a good movie. The movie is as long as Gone with the Wind, and will keep you interested from start to finish.
The disk 2 is a 'tragedy' 
2009-11-27 - This is Movie is not available in UK, so I have to purchase it from US.
I watched the first part on Internet, it's great. But the second part was not uploaded for months.
After the DVD arrived in London, I know why, because the 2nd part is so bad that no one would willing to upload the rest of it.
Don't buy it, or just watch the first part.

2009-11-16 - Listen, people...If you even watch this movie then you obviously have social issues, but if you watch it and then diss it we need to talk. It has all of the classic hollywood goodies, tear-jerkers, and stomach-squeezers we've grown up with. BudgetBDamned, I'm going to make a movie that destroys the earth, then add a pinch of empathy for children that (shudder) have to live through the apocalypse while their grandpa struggles with his own health. All those buggin' asteroid things falling and making my mobile home less than pleasant reminds me that we're all AMERICAN, and GOD bless 'Merica! :) Classic doughboy fodder. Heat, Eat, Enjoy.
MST3K fodder!
2009-11-14 - Wow, I'm almost speechless... even by TV miniseries standards, this thing just stinks like Gorgonzola cooking on a compost heap... it fails on every level; as drama, as sci-fi, as action, as entertainment. I love sci-fi and am perfectly willing to suspend disbelief as long as I'm taking on a fun ride, but this thing just tosses you off a cliff without a parachute, and you'll soon be begging for the bottom of the bottomless moon pit to put you out of your misery.
Every second of this film is so fatally flawed in every way, and the flaws just build upon themselves at such an exponential rate, that it's obvious within the first 60 seconds that the real disaster in this film is the film itself. However, for this reason, it succeeds immensely, as a comedy. Every scene is so predictable and drenched in moon cheese fondue, that it is consistently laughable, especially if you have a friend over with whom to pick it apart and exchange mockery. I'd love to break it down here for you, scene by scene, certainly I couldn't spoil anything even if I tried, but the time has passed and I can't get that 190 minutes back. Besides, I think the mockery of this laughably pathetic film is best left to the professionals... look for it soon on MST3K. I will say this though, if there happens to be a sci-fi film from 2000 starring Stephen Baldwin called XChange airing on HBO after your done watching this, you'll enjoy that body snatcher that much more ;)
Not Science Fiction at it's best. 
2009-11-14 - For me this movie was just okay. In many ways, it is a poor man's version of "Deep Impact". This would be "Deep Impact" without the big name stars, lesser special effects, and a lesser quality script.
I love good science fiction, but good science fiction movies are hard to come by. This movie is very slow. This is not entirely bad as long as the slowness leads to good character development, or the addition of quality plot.
In the case of this movie, there is too much in the romantic parts, poor acting on the part of the child actors, and cliché upon cliché.
I downloaded this movie to my Tivo. $3.99, I guess it was worth that much.
