Review of Deadly Skies (2006) by Knut L — 08 Nov 2009

Pretty decent disaster flick from the Sci-Fi channel about an asteroid on a collision course with earth. The military have developed a laser with the capabilities of blowing up the asteroid, sadly they refuse to believe that the asteroid will actually hit the earth. Que a couple of scientists and a couple of discharged soldiers to break into the military complex that holds the laser and to save the day.

Usually the problem with these films are the awful acting ans special effects, thankfully the acting from most is quite good and there is limited special effects. The plot moves along at a good pace and is never boring, the break into the military compound is entertaining but admittedly the slight sense of believability goes completely out the window at the end.

If you don't sit there and try to pick holes in the plot then Force of Impact is an entertaining little romp that's a good way to waste 90 minutes on a Sunday.
