You can’t hide from gravity
A bad review for ABC’s upcoming disaster flick, Impact:
I won’t give away any major plot points, but basically a huge meteor comes flying toward Earth and crashes into the moon, and the side effects are felt for many days afterward — many long, mind-numbingly boring days. Yes, there are a few random action sequences, but the mounting catastrophes feel like a lukewarm side dish to the big, bland entree of “Impact,” a stunningly slow, arduous journey through flat dialogue and idiotic astronomy.
The two-part movie premieres at 9 p.m. on Sunday, June 21, with the conclusion at the same time on Sunday, June 28. I’m not at all interested in this movie. but I really liked Slate’s review.
