My review
Excellent film with a powerful message. However it is a bit heavy-handed in its style, especially when it gets bogged down in the (not so subtle) US politics social commentary. The pacing could also be tightened up.
Plot overview
Two astronomers go on a media tour to warn humankind of a planet-killing comet hurtling toward Earth. The response from a distracted world: Meh.
