As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

As a huge lover of planet disaster (and ie, not really smart saying) movies, I simply couldn't resist not to watch this movie. Even thus, since I find actress Anna Silk incredibly cute and she was also a motive to watch this, "Earthstrom" just gave me a reason to increase that index even more.This movie has something really great all the way its '80 stylish production, and that is what I call - pure sarcasm fun out of a disaster of a huge scale.Plot is kinda similar to "Armageddon" movie. Just, in this case, really funny effects for a 2006, incredibly "chill, hey no problem & cool" behaviors (acting) for a non-stop disasters coming out in this movie, funny TV reporters, and flying a shuttle like you're on your way to groceries store, gives us probably one of the most funniest disaster movie ever.If you like movie like "Galaxy Quest", you just may add up this one to your list of favorites, no matter its bad rating issue.

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.

PLOT: A gigantic impact into the moon sprinkles lunar debris meteorite-fireballs on Earth (But we'd expected a plethora), and leaves a rift to the lunar core (But we'd expect lunar gravity to close that). USA Space Agency personnel with inter-academia problems determine that the "Halo Effect" will result in an even larger calamity on Earth. They call upon a demolitions expert to close the rift, Send a Space Shuttle up with nuclear-drive (But we'd expect more propellant mass), Weave through the lunar-debris-freeway (But we'd expect smaller rocks were unavoidable), and drop a magneto bomb into the rift to suck the ring back down, (But we'd expect the debris already on the way to Earth would continue-on).CHARACTER: A nice touch showing the disparity of theories among Agency personnel that resolves to showing they're all scientists at heart.SFX: Very Good. Not many to show.KEY POINTS: HALO EFFECT:1. N.A. A psychological/psychosomatic plural effect wherein problems experienced by one entity effect similar problems in other entities.2. An orbiting ring mass around a moon exerts lift-gravitation pulling surface debris up from the moon; but only to a maximum total amount.This (#2) may have been the intended, and shown -lifting rocks and the Shuttle,- but it was only referenced, not adequately explained; and it would not have caused any further secondary problem to Earth (cf a sub-moon orbiting the moon would continually fling out debris).Ray.

First of all, it needed a new title. Not Earthstorm but maybe Goodbye Moon! Because that's exactly what this movie was like. Very not rushed. I mean if the moon was breaking apart irl and we'd found out about it, I think we would have been a little more alarmed than the characters in this film. Baldwin just acted like he got out of bed and well went to the moon! It's very slow moving though the CGI is impressive for a TV flick.I don't understand why all the actors treated the situation like it was some feathers that floated out from space. oooo it destroyed Mexico City....let's stare at each other and slowly walk to our computers....ooooo there's a huge one heading straight for us; lets just take out our calculators and slowly figure things out. There was no sense of urgency like nobody cared that this huge thing could come crashing down and destroying us like the dinosaurs! Just very slow and unbelievable....everything was taken down to such low levels that one can fall asleep watching this. Furthermore, the actors themselves didn't really make the characters their own. Just seemed like a bunch of ppl talking to each other like you'd see on a train or something. Dirk's character Victor who was the movie villain was well....not very villain like....just came of as a huge whining ass kisser. Plus supposedly Baldwin's character and the lead lady ended up together somehow in the end but during the movie there was not even a hint of an attraction. So having that happen out of the blue seemed just too forced and improper. Should have had something lead into it instead of just throw it on us like something to end the movie with.A total bore....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
