Worst movie of the year

Rating: 1/10 (21 November 1998)

This dud was clearly one of the worst movies of the year. Forget the inconceivable premise of flying oil rig drillers into space to save the world (I'd think it would be easier to teach astronauts to drill than vice-versa), the testosterone level of the plot and script are way too high and serve to destroy any semblance of fear or tension about the impending destruction of Earth. Between the depressing Deep Impact and this turkey, I hope Hollywood will give the asteroid impact plot a rest for a few years.
