The only thing worse than the acting is the science

Rating: 2/10 (25 June 2004)

Truly painful to watch, this movie had the dialog of a cheap 1930's serial and the plot of a Tom Swift novel. Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler are terrible, Bruce Willis seems to have phoned in his performance, and the character actors, all talented, are wasted.
And the science is flawed; yes, only a portion of the sky is routinely scanned. But a chunk of rock that big would be visible beyond the orbit of Pluto. And to approach as it did, it must be close to the ecliptic, meaning it was in the portion of space watched most closely.
I enjoy science fiction and I enjoy action. But this movie was so bad my willing suspension of disbelief got up and went to get a drink!
