When comet fragments start raining down on Earth and panic begins to spread among the population, a construction engineer receives a surprising message that his family have been selected for emergency sheltering. Like Deep Impact more than 20 years ago, this disaster movie asks what would happen if only a handful of people were saved from an extinction-level event. Most of the resulting on-screen drama comes from the people going bonkers rather than the comet fragments causing destruction. The end result is stupid and predictable but rather entertaining.
