Characters 1-dimensional, story implausible and irrelevant. Special effects okay.

Rating: 2/10 (14 November 1998)

I suppose it doesn't matter since this movie is only 1% story- but the portrayal of such a crisis, indeed the entire basis for the story, is implausible. Aside from breaking the laws of physics left and right, the idea of blowing up an asteroid heading for the earth is the worst thing you could do. The characters are very one-dimensional and uninteresting.
