Quote: During the largest meteor shower in 10,000 years, a rogue asteroid collides with the moon, causing a huge explosion and sending moon fragments catapulting to Earth. Soon, unusual phenomena begin to unnerve the entire planet: cell phones are disrupted, the normal pattern of the tides shift and heavy objects like cars become temporarily weightless – all as the world’s leading scientists uncover unsettling evidence that the moon’s orbit may have been permanently altered. Even more frightening, they discover that the new orbit has put the Earth directly in the moon’s path and there are only 39 days remaining until it crashes into the planet. Now it’s up to a small group of experts, cheered on by all nations of the world, to embark on a mission to the moon to try to prevent the deadly impact and save the planet from destruction.

Just to be clear, this is not a DTV feature. This aired on the ABC network here in the States over 2 weeks. It's a cheesy, yet entertaining mini-series.
Hahahahaha, that's one hideous artwork
Earth's Darkest Day Will Be Man's Finest Hour. It can't be good when your DVD release proudly sports a stolen tagline (this was one of the taglines for Armageddon). Will check this one out though. Natasha Henstridge is a babe.
Stupid, but silly fun. Watched both parts on the 4th.
I was reading a review that kinda ragged on this, but I didn't think it was too bad. Surprising amount of action/CGI for a TV mini-series, which is all I'm looking for in this type of movie to be honest. The other one, "Meteor".....now there's the one you want to avoid. Competes with "Judgement Day" for worst meteor impact movie ever.
These modern disaster movies really are poor comedies....
