America saves the world... again...

Rating: 7/10 (13 September 1998)

Ok, the movie is nicely shot, it's got some terrific special effects, it's very spectacular, esp. when you watch it in a theatre or on home cinema systems, but... that's all...! I only liked it because of the effects and directing... Yes, some random guys, being in the oil drilling work, can certainly learn to do all that has to do with being in space and working in there just in several days (?!), while it takes an ordinary astronaut trainee more years to learn this stuff and actually go out there, than it would take him to study all of nuclear physics...! Yes that's realistic... :) And 99% of the meteors do fall into America, while none (as I remember) of the mission members is of any other nationality than... American! ! I guess we get the deeper point of the movie, which should be that US save the world... again...! :)
