What a pity that theme sci -fi rich is so miserably wasted ! I do not know this author , Jeff Schechter, but he demonstrates here several weaknesses. I suppose he has at least sit down with an astrophysics or modern cosmology teacher to get some clues about phenomena and processes involved in the operating process of the sun or stars. But even if he took notes , he obviously did not understand much and made every effort on this point to have it all wrong in his scenario. He is constantly mistaken in speed, distance, time , effects on Earth's atmosphere. He transforms electromagnetic effects into solid shelling that special effects are quick to express explosion and firing devastating material. Then there are inconsistencies in other areas such as building structure, windows crashing to reappear intact as if by magic. And then there is the human situations. Some were so easy to solve such as Afghanistan's where Julia Ormond abandons his critical American colleague injured while it would have been so simple to carry him in a makeshift stretcher by people who accompanied them. And all that goes on and on in a happy inconsistency. The U.S. president leaving the incompetent commander appointed against his will continue to lead spatial operations instead to cancel the abused appointment and reinstate former director, resulting in the entire suite of disaster! Frankly, Jeff Schechter, should return to the classroom. Otherwise, interpretation and direction are about the same quality level, but it's hard to judge on such a scenario. What I regret most is that the author, in his scientific misunderstanding, has severed us a great opportunity to popularize the technology of scalar waves . It would have made the film much more interesting!
