This starts off really bad with the young Asian scientist (obviously a Red Bull addict having an overdose) spinning around a space computer room, then calling his sister to let her know that there was a meteor headed towards earth. This is a really stupid way to start the film because it shows that the inmates indeed running the "asylum" and it doesn't put much confidence in me to have such people in charge of world matters that could impact our future in this solar system. The sight of him offering advice to military officers is just one opportunity to laugh at this, making you hope that when they caught him away, he'll never be seen on screen again. Unfortunately no such luck as the irritation hasn't even begin to strike.
An encounter between submarine officer Jason Brooks and scientist Tia Carrare (who hired her own brother, the irritating little sugar freak as an intern) leads to more idiocy which creates conflicts between science and the navy, neither of which deserve the audience's support. This is pretentious, takes itself way too seriously yet has a juvenile, impish maturity about it that any intelligent adult will see right through and immediately call out. It comes to the point where I have to paraphrase a line from "Airplane!": "I say let it crash!"
