    A very enjoyable Dennis Hopper film.

    Despite of what anybody mite say, I think that this was a very well done film, I really enjoyed it. Dennis Hopper was great in his part, his character was so carm during the film, which is so cool in films. I think that this film doesent get the credit it deserves. I really enjoy those end of the world movies.

    8/10

    Worth watching if you have nothing else to do!

    Basic fun movie but don't go expecting to see great effects, great acting and a great story. The special effects are OK but not very realistic. The acting is OK but nothing special. The story is OK but predictable. All in all, an OK movie if you have a few hours to spare with nothing better to do.

    Thoroughly dreadful

    Oh, boy, it's another comet-hitting-the-earth film. Coming within a year or two of Deep Impact, Armageddon, Space Cowboys and various other stupid flicks with rap stars in them, you'd think people would be burned out on this concept. Apparently not, since I rented it, hoping it MIGHT not be awful: Dennis Hopper was in it, after all, and he's a good actor, right?

    I forgot something important: along with Peter O'Toole, Robert De Niro and quite a few other esteemed actors, Hopper has a penchant for appearing in dreadful films. Not only that, but he seems to prepare for them by taking forget-how-to-act classes. His performance in Tychus is so awful that you expect Divine or Edith Massey to appear in some scenes.

    I don't know what else to say about this rubbish, other than if you're into things crashing into the earth films, watch Deep Impact, and then Armageddon and Space Cowboys at a stretch. Forget the others altogether. This one really is bottom of the pile.

    Can't believe I stopped watching it

    What a bad reccomendation! I started watching the first 20 minutes of it, and I just couldn't take the horrible acting, production value (CAMERA!!), and SCRIPT!!! And everything else... It looks like a shabby made-for TV episode, without spirit or feel. Cliche American characters make this one a movie to stop watching 20 minutes in... because I sometimes feel like my life has been wasted. At least it was only wasted for 20 minutes or so instead of a couple hours.

    I don't care if this movie has some cool ideas, like asteroids hitting Earth and people living underground. It is done horribly, so it doesn't get any points outta me. If I feel my time has been wasted, how can a movie be at all good?

    Yeah, this is definetly a direct-to-video release, and am surprised a person like Dennis Hopper would voluntarily be in this movie. Is he friends with the scriptwriter or something?????

    Don't bother

    Not only did the effects and acting in this movie bite, but the story was terrible.

    A scientist discovers that a comet fragment will hit the moon ... world leaders ignore him ... he builds a shelter ... then, everyone is upset that he is "playing God".

    How lame! He built the thing, why is everyone "entitled" to access? Totally lame story, don't waste your time!

    • Goofs
      In the very beginning Dennis Hopper's character is walking along the ground with a (giant by today's standard) GPS that shows the position:

      N 11 Deg 25.412 Min W 142 Deg 14.754 Min

      That position is 1,237 miles SW off Honolulu, Hawaii in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
