646f9e108c One new years eve a wormhole suddenly appears sucking Earth and it&#39;s inhabitants to another solar system. Nearly a year later Colin Prite CEO of Prite Industries(a new energy company) awakes in a makeshift hospital. Confused by flashing images of possible memories he is desperate to find his wife and child, but with most of the population wiped out by conditions in the new system there is little hope for them or mankindthey head toward total oblivion. In a white hot flash of light, and with no warning, one minute our moon is there, the next it&#39;s gone. Then, a second flash. And that&#39;s the last thing anyone on Earth can remember. 11 months later, it&#39;s not post- apocalyptic; it&#39;s apocalypticEarth has been sucked through a wormhole, literally ripping our planet from the inside out. With bizarre disasters and civilization collapsing, our heroes must find a way to survive and get to &quot;safe ground&quot; before it&#39;s too late. First off, I started watching the movie because of the one good review here on IMDb (of the two reviews so far). I wonder how the movie would have turned out if the producer would have be able to contract the actual Tom Cruise instead of a wooden-faced look alike. And of couse when the &quot;special effects&quot; in the movie would not have been done by a talentless 8-year old. Seriously, it&#39;s like in some scenes there is someone using paint to draw lines supposingly lightning, in real time. And some formless blobs for clouds. Which indoors seem to actively hunt people, very weird.<br/><br/>To be honest, the premise of the movie could have been worked out so that this movie would have been a blockbuster. But probably a non existent budget had to lead to a very very mediocre post apocalypic sci fi in which you see the complete plot coming from a mile away. The end result is something like a few students in a film academy could have made (and gotten a D for their trouble). I would pay good money to have the Coen brothers, James Cameron or Ridley Scott do a remake of this. <br/><br/>As it is, go sit down without expectations, if you really love sci fi it is not a complete waste of time. I cannot give it more credit than that. I clicked on this and briefly thought I&#39;d accidentally clicked on a Tom Cruise film - Andrew Katers performance in this film has many Cruise traits and he also delivers a pretty sound performance. Brian Krause - one of my favourite actors alas only has a small role - and for the most part the other actors are well chosen throughout. Special effects are good in places and bad in others so try not to be too critical - though the Earth leaving a solar system really wouldn&#39;t make the journey intact - so definitely suspend disbelief while watching this. It&#39;s pretty okaythese type of films go and, while the solution to their plight has been done in Star Trek a couple of times, it&#39;s still fairly original. Worth a watch on a lonely night.
