The effects in the movie are horrible. As stated before they look like N64 type graphics. The plot seems to be ripped off from Armageddon. An asteroid hits the moon causing a fault and chunks of the moon start flying towards earth.
The one thing that was cool is that ASI is actually Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada dressed up. To be more specific it is the college's I-Wing, which is the Information Technology wing. And the circular room with the TV in the wall is actually there... not just for the movie.
To sum up in one word "underbudget" I wouldn't buy the movie.

Wow. Where do I start? This is a really silly movie. Any knowledge of space that the writer or director may have comes from watching old "Star Trek" reruns. One ridiculous and impossible thing follows another. I laughed out loud a few times at how cheesy it was. They should have hired a scientific consultant, but I'm guessing they didn't have the budget.
I definitely wouldn't pay to see this movie, but I got it as part of my monthly movie package, so I don't mind. If you don't take it seriously, it's kinda fun.
Warning: This movie's writer also did "Solar Strike" (2005, TV), which is equally silly and scientifically sketchy. Watch it only if you feel like making fun of a bad movie.

Just when you though there was now way you could top the effort in 'Darkstorm', Baldwin has come up with a beauty in 'Earthstorm'. We pray that he gets over his drug addiction or replace the word drug with any other vice that comes to mind, there must be some excuse for taking these roles. But we live in a world of relativism, and relatively speaking he may not be as good as Alec, or have Adam's comedy. But enough said on that matter, because those boys look like they could put down. Anyhow the movie is worth the trouble if you need to play a practical joke on a friend, how you seen this great movie and couldn't stop watching it. Good trick on getting your name marked off on someones xmas list.
This movie was just another Armageddon ripoff except with VERY bad acting and even worse special effects. The story is not even believable and they use a lot of technical jargon to try to overcome the obvious flaws in the plot. I cant believe I actually watched the whole thing! Stephen Baldwin should have not even been in this movie.
The rest of the cast didn't flow well together. There were way too many computer generated special effects that were too obvious. I can not stress enough how bad this movie was.
I don't recommend this at all!
SIMPLY HORRIBLE on sooooo many levels!!!

I've always enjoyed movies that deal with the Earth/ Space relation ship ie. "Armageddon," "Deep Impact," and "Red Planet." I stumbled upon "Earthstorm" at my local RedBox. I wasn't expecting much from a movie I hadn't heard of before or from a cast where Stephen Baldwin is the only recognizable name. Straight up, this is not a good movie. The premise is decent, but the plot execution and the dialog is terrible. Special effects were also horrible. They must've used so generic CGI, because nothing looks very realistic. I won't even talk about the whole "A.S.I." and errors in the movie. I only paid $1 for it, so Earthstorm was decent bang for the buck. The best thing about the movie is hottie Anna Silk, she's gorgeous!
Did you know
- TriviaThe "T-scale" referred to in the film is most likely a reference to the real-life Torino scale, which is used to determine the risk of an object impacting the Earth based on its trajectory and size.
- GoofsSpace flight command rooms do not rely on municipal sources for power. They have multiply redundant independent generators to prevent the kinds of power outages that occur several times in the film. This also goes for the communications equipment.
