Does anyone really think that the local director of and emergency management agency would be able to do their job during an emergency while they were spending most of their time getting family members out of emergency situations? Would the responses of the other people involved in that emergency to a director of an emergency agency doing this be as supportive as in this movie? Whoever wrote this plot has no understanding of the difficulties encountered in emergency management and didn't do any research on it.The 'science' was rubbish. Electrostatic attractions are only effective over short distances, they do not have an 'frequency' associated with them (as implied by the 'static' part), and like charged substances repel, rather than attract. Even if the authors couldn't pass high school science they should have done the research on this.The saving graces of the movie are the special effects and, to some degree, the actors. The director and technical staff also seemed to be competent. The writers do not appear to have been competent.

The movie never got off the ground. Best part was end of the movie. Watching right now on science-fy or should at this moment sci- fry. Good leverage is on so don't have to watch this looser. This 10 line minimum is almost as bad as the movie!

... View MoreA typically inane disaster movie from the SyFy Channel. This one sees San Francisco assailed by a meteor storm that comes out of nowhere, destroying scenery and infrastructure before a dedicated team of scientists decide to do something about it. It's as cheesy, lightweight and predictable as it sounds, featuring terrible acting and even worse effects, and is very much par for the course for this genre.Saying that, the film does have plenty of incident and a pace which keeps on moving, so it's never boring - just bad. By the time things take on an outer-space angle it all gets very derivative of Armageddon and its ilk. Fans of this kind of trash may get a kick out of the sub-standard CGI and overwrought performances; the rest of us will just sigh in exasperation.
... View MoreEven the action flicks are becoming chick flicks. We have a hero with what looks like a 200 inch chest riding a motorcycle through out the film, and that just begins the clichés. Everything in the film is completely cliché. Not one fresh idea.The plot is something about meteors showering the Earth, and some guy in the military being dense to the hero, who controls what everyone in the world thinks, by the way, and commands the attention of a news crew for no reason. A news crew that follows a hunk instead of the usual slouches that they choose 100% of the time. Yeah, what planet is this on? Director Tukacs not only dwells in every cliché, but also makes this unwatchable for guys. If there is a cute girl, he kills her off as quick as he can, leaving only the pale plain girls that women identify with, making this the ultimate chick flick.Across the board, the acting is as poor as the directing, which lends one to think they were directed to act this horribly, and the worst takes kept for the final cut.There is nothing good about this film, nothing exciting, nothing interesting, nothing to care about.
