I agree that this was one of the worst films I've ever seen. I'm sure it'll become cult because of it. I saw this on Sky TV in the UK, which is normally pretty good at filtering out the worst US TV - this time their schedulers let themselves down terribly.
But on the most contentious issue about the death penalty. It was in South Africa. The news report clearly, although only once, mentioned Pretoria. I think Luke Perry and Tia Carrere were in SA. The labs were in Australia - and then the US military were in the US (where they should always stay). Did some captioning go astray? Along with the script, acting, dialogue, the special effect budget and everything else that's needed for a movie? This movie was so badly researched - the scene in the 'Maldives' with a big mountain?! The country is only 5 meters above the ocean at its highest point. And as a sacristy Muslim nation - only allows alcohol on authorized islands run by the Government. Not a wooden beach side shack with a single white woman! The producers could have chosen a million other destinations that would have made more sense.
I nearly switched off, but I was hoping the producers had a surprise up their sleeve at the end - like the Earth really ending, but then the scientists discovered a flaw in their equations (which they had to repeat several times in case we missed it) and the Earth was saved - but not the movie. This is a terrible film. An earlier contributor likened it to Plan 9 From Outer Space - a perfectly fair comparison.
