This is actually three different movies- all bad.

Rating: 4/10 (8 January 1999)

It's a disaster movie- can they drill the hole in time to save the Earth?(you know the answer); it's a space movie (Hey look- no gravity!) and it's a Daddy's little girl is all grown up and wants to marry Dad's well intentioned but failure of a protege who only needs a chance to prove himself! movie. Predictable and insipid, the plot never really makes the case as to why a collection of uncouth-but-lovable wildcat oilwell drillers are somehow the only ones who can drill a tunnel in an asteroid so that a bomb can blow it apart before it destroys the world. We've seen the goof-balls at NASA training done better in that Simpsons episode- and that's the highlight of this turgid, self-important mess.
