Stretching the limits of credibility a little too far!

Rating: Null/10 (24 May 1999)

Poor Bruce - having to work with a worse plot than Deep Impact must hurt, and his jaws must be aching from trying not to laugh at the blatant technical inaccuracies. OK, it was a flat-out action film, but they could have made it just a little bit believable! I was cringeing all the way through it; eg, they can't get normal voice comms to work while the space-station is disintegrating, but they can map the progress of astronauts' embedded chips OK? Drilling a 2-foot diameter hole at 1 foot per second?- of course, a butter asteroid (with no debris)! Sorry, this film stretched the bounds of my credulity waaaay too far for me to enjoy it.
