Great Sci-Fi film
A pretty good film, a sort of space disaster/thriller film as a crew set off for the Sun to drop a nuclear payload to kickstart it back to life and get Earth out of an Ice age. They are the 2nd team to set off, will they make it or suffer the fate off the 1st missing crew?
It has some good acting and SFX, the sets for the spaceship look very impressive and show some good ideas about the future of space travel. It's a bit slow to start but it makes up for this as things get more dramatic towards the end. Better than I expected it to be.

I loved this movie, but I thought the ending was stupid and kind of a cop out.

True but I like some of the ideas it has about space travel. Sets were impressive.

I absolutely LOVE this show. I watched both seasons over a few days!!

Tom Kirkman is the Designated Survivor which means he is selected to sit out when the whole of the US government meets, so that in the unlikely event of a disaster someone is able to lead the country.

Unfortunately Tom is the least qualified person for the job of The President of the United States, however he has to step up and the series follows his life as he tries his best.

This show has everything: politics, drama, mystery, suspense, conspiracy and is just very gripping!!

Really recommend this series I feel like it probably has something everyone will enjoy.

Most of the Sfx (0 more)
Poor plot (1 more)
Some dodgy CGI
A large helping of cheese
Well I finally gave this a whirl not expecting much. It seems like a CGI led disaster film in The day after tomorrow mould. To combat climate change the world has come together to build a network of satellites to control the weather. It predictably starts to go wrong, cue scenes of mass distruction around the globe and needs to be fixed.
The cast was quite impressive and the SFX overall were good. It suffers badly from the weak plot and characters though. Ok for a watch but not a patch on The day after tomorrow, Deep impact and many others.
