Nice addition to my collection. A little bit different of an approach to a movie about an impending end to all life on earth.

A good disaster movie pretty believable well written

This was a really good movie. I can't wait for part 2.

A great Sci-Fi movie of a family trying to survive and find a safe place to go after a planet-killing comet crashes into earth destroying life. A journey they take to a safe haven.

Always up for a good disaster movie, and this one qualifies. There’s a comet sighting about to take place which has the whole world intrigued until it’s figured out that large fragments of it will hit the earth; an expected extinction level event. A disaster of this magnitude has been planned for decades as the government have built emergency shelters in Greenland. Gerard Butler receives a call from the government indicating that he and his family have been selected for this emergency shelter and must report to the military air base within 24 hours. So to the backdrop of his friends and neighbors jealous and desperate because they have not been chosen, he gets his recently estranged wife (Morena Baccarin) and his son packed up and enroute to the air base. Between the panic of civilians wanting to be saved and put on the plane and mini fragments of the comet already hitting and setting fire to everything, the trip does not go smoothly. So much tension throughout this movie as Butler struggles to keep his family safe as the countdown of the inevitable comet strike draws closer and closer. Great special effects in this movie; certainly not a B-level effort. Kept me invested all the way through.
