Earth's Final Hours : Le compte à rebours est déclenché

Something called "energy displacement" attacks our planet Earth. In the great American northwest, a man's midsection is hit by a meteorite. Ouch. The threat is formidable. It's a sucking "White Hole". The opposite of a Black Hole, which sucks matter in, the "White Hole sucks matter out." By now, you have probably guessed how the White Hole manifests itself. That's right, it stops the Earth from turning on its axis. This looks like a job for Superman, but he's not around...

We do have FBI agent Robert Knepper (as John Streich) and his slightly rebellious teenage son Cameron Bright (as Andy). He has perfect eyebrows. They are assisted by beautifully-figured Julia Benson (as Chloe Edwards) and pretty Julia Maxwell (as Michelle Fulton). Possibly mad scientist Bruce Davison (as Kingsley Rothman) plays the veteran actor in a supporting role. The cameras are unsteady, but director W.D. Hogan keeps cast members in range.

*** Armageddon 2012/ Earth's Final Hours (6/1/11) W.D. Hogan ~ Robert Knepper, Julia Benson, Cameron Bright, Bruce Davison

This movie is a total waste of time. Trailer looked good but don't be fooled..

Too many far fetched inconsistencies and coincidences.. Throw darts the floor if you want to have more fun.

It starts with one of the only people who knows how to save the world getting a hole blown through his chest where his heart and lungs used to be, and somehow manages to talk.

Don't bother watching it..

How it was ever rated a 7.9 is beyond me, must have been based on 2 votes.

I normally try not to be harsh with ratings and review summaries, but Earth's Final Hours really took the biscuit. I have seen worse movies, and SyFy have done much worse than this, but that is not excusing this really pathetic excuse for a movie from being one of the worst movies I've seen in the past month. There is only one redeeming factor, and that is Bruce Davison, who actually tries his best in a role and with dialogue that had so much potential to be so much more than turned out.

Earth's Final Hours looks cheap, I found the film very dull in its look and the special effects while not as bad as the Mega Piranha, Titanic II and Quantum Apocalypse still look as though they were made in a rush and gives the indication that the makers were looking at quantity rather than quality. The concept was ridiculous in the first place, but I wasn't expecting the final product to have such a sluggish, scientifically illogical, utterly predictable and above all uninteresting story.

There's also some of the most stilted dialogue I have heard ever in my life, an ending that is drawn out, anti-climatic and goes nowhere and almost every character cliché in the book(seriously when it comes to characters there is nothing new whatsoever here). The acting is terrible, Davison is the only one who tries, Julie Benson is wooden and Cameron Bright has to be one of the blandest and most monotonic actors there is. Overall, a stinker of a movie with almost nothing good about it excepting Davison. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Well. Earth's Final Hours. Low budget film, and it shows. The kind of film you expect to see aired on the Syfy channel. I did enjoy it, meaning it took up some spare time I had. It was somewhat predictable at times, but even that is to be expected what with the amount of similar films out there, only they had the budget to pull off a better film. I would say it was still worth a watch, IF you have nothing better to do...like sleep. It's main downside was the acting of a certain young man, Cameron Bright. His monotone acting skills just bugged the hell out of me. I remembered seeing him in a double episode of Stargate SG-1. I recognised the acting before him. It has not changed in the past 5 years. Lets hope he gets better in the future...or play the roles of robots.

To get to it, the film was OK, but let down by its somewhat predictability and certain bad acting.

Once again, as with other SyFy Channel disaster movies of recent years, I was looking forward to watching a really good movie with Earth's Final Hours. I particularly wanted to watch it when I saw that Bruce Davison is in it, whom I have admired since his debut in Mame with Lucille Ball. I cannot believe that Davison would agree to appearing in such a stinker! His performance was the only saving grace of the movie. The movie was nothing but way overdone-and dreadfully boring-FBI shootouts and lousy special effects. The scientific aspects were also bordering on the ridiculous. I was expecting to watch something of the caliber of the recent "2012" movie, but this film came nowhere close to it. I would not waste one minute watching this movie ever again in spite of Bruce Davison! Avoid this one like the plague!
