Gerard Butler vs Comet ... but not what you would think

Well, that was different than I expected.

If you said the words 'Gerard Butler' and 'Comet' to me (or pretty much anyone else) prior to this, I'm sure they would envision some form of action movie, where Butler single-handedly saves the world.

In other words, I was expecting something like 'Armageddon 2.0'. 'Deep Impact 2.0'. 'Geostorm 2.0'.

This is nothing like any of those.

Instead, this is really a family drama, with the Garrity's selected by the US government (via random lottery) to travel to a safe(r) location when parts of the comet start striking Earth - things, however, prove not the be as straightforward as expected when they are denied travel due to their son's diabetic condition.

Personally, I also think it probably would have been better with the more ambiguous ending hinted at in the final act.
