Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Jeanskynebu the audience applauded

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

writethomas49 I'm sorry the science is bad. I'm sorry it wasn't filmed in Australia and they got a lot of accents and details wrong. I'm sorry some people don't think much of the acting.But I really enjoyed the scenery. It was well photographed. The acting was decent and the women were nice to watch. All in all, It was a pleasant flick to spend a rainy afternoon on.

JPD 49 Almost as funny as Robot Monster, or any of the magnificent Ed Wood Classics, but without the deep scientific grasp of those earlier films.Read a dozen or so reviews -- the reviewers put a lot more into their posts than anyone connected with this incredible turkey -- I didn't see any review mention that our sun can't supernova, it isn't the right kind of star. It can nova, and its furthest expansion will reach the orbit of the inner planets, probably out to earth, but will not fill the whole solar system, as stated by one of the characters.Great observation by one of the reviewers on how, after surviving in those Phoenix locations, the lucky few come to the surface and get to work on constructing a new sun. Excellent! And naturally in an actual nova there most certainly won't be anyone coming up, and probably no earth remaining to come up from -- but also no sun, and that wasn't comprehensible to anyone involved with this nonsense. No one in the whole project who knew any science at all, with tens of millions of dollars to burn -- pun definitely intended.During the opening scenes I thought the story would involve the supernova of some distant giant star finally reaching our solar system seven million later. Silly me, that would have been far too stuck in boring reality.The weirdest part is from start to finish I couldn't stand any of the characters. Can't say that about any of the Ed Wood masterpieces.

dcjraffaele Scientifically impossible. I won't go into detail about the absolutely INEPT representation of Australia in this dismal piece of tripe, but I will address the basic premise of the film.The Sun is simply not massive enough to go nova, let alone supernova. A the end of its life in about 5 billion years, it will expand into a red giant, throw off a planetary nebula and then collapse into a white dwarf. There is simply not enough mass to produce the kind of event this "movie" portrays.The idiots that wrote this garbage should be forced out of the business. It would only have taken rudimentary research to figure out the fate of the Sun.Do yourself a favour - MISS IT.

kinthu Ditto what everyone else said. About halfway through I was tempted to start MST3King this film (my husband & I do this a lot on dumb movies). Plot, acting, scenery and fake Aussie accents have already been well covered. But...what is the deal with Dr (did he get his PhD from one of those schools you see ads for on late-night TV?) Chris Robinson is trying to protect his family? "Whoa! There's a mad rapist/murderer after my womenfolk, and the power went out, so how about I go out into the dark foggy night to start the genny, taking only a handgun and a flashlight so the Evil Convict can see where I am? And for good measure, how about I find the genny and don't bother to peer around to make sure said Evil Guy isn't about to conk me on the head?" And the Evil Guy wasn't the brightest bulb on the string, either. If he really wants the womenfolk, why doesn't he take the gun he just picked up and pop Luke, er, Phony PhD Chris? No, instead he conks him on the head, picks up the gun, and WALKS AWAY! I don't write screenplays, but maybe I oughta try. I could do better than this with a bad hangover.
