There's two movies out about an asteroid hurtling towards earth, and the mission to stop them.
In one, (parts of) the Asteroid hits.
In the other, a vest-less Bruce Willis saves the day.
This is the first.
Perhaps lacking the star power of the second (Bruce Willis, Liv Tyler, Ben Affleck, Billy Bob Thornton), this one has Morgan Freeman as the President of the US in tenure as the asteroid hurtles towards earth, and Tea Leoni as the journalist who breaks the story. A pre-LOTR Elijah Woods also pops up to provide the 'everyman' view of the situation, as the high school kid who first discovers the comet hurtling our way.
A bit slow getting started, and definitely a more thoughtful approach to the impending end-of-the-world scenario than Armageddon
