Solar attack

"I have always loved the actors in this movie and was NOT disappointed in the movie stars. The story line was just "okay" and I enjoyed watching it, but it will probably NOT be one of thos movies that I especially watch again and again. I am a REAL disaster or castrophe buff. Hit was okay but definately not great."
Sorry, I am not impressed.

"I may not be the biggest fan of disaster films, but this movie was even worse than most. The acting is very weak, and the story line is just too weak. I would have turned the movie off, if my husband wasn't one who watches any movie once. I laughed my way through most of it, and finally gave up to read a book. Though the story idea may be a good one and the actors chosen have done great work, this movie was a major let down. The time would be better spent reading. I hope the book was better."
An honest "B" disaster movie

"The real problem is not sets, special effects or acting:
it is the plot science is just bad to really nonexistent!
These two points are just both false:
1) solar flares of coherent plasma
2) methane enough to combine with all the atmospheric oxygen
Other than that the submarine warfare was pretty good.
Blowing up the polar ice caps with nuclear missiles is
just a really bad idea, too.
It came real close to being a comedy
and would have been if the acting would have been worse than it was.
It isn't in the class of "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes",
but just barely!"
Sci Fi cliches galore

"Watching a string of Sci Fi's movies have basically shown me a pattern. 1. No matter what the disaster, a well placed nuclear strike "just might work" to avert it. 2. The President is always a black guy. 3. No one initially will listen to the Doc Brown scientist. 4. Everything will be fine by the time the credits roll.
The plot in this one was pretty much copied later by "Polar Storm"
Overall, if you like these types of movies, it could have been worse, and Lou Gosset Jr is the man no matter how cheap the movie is!"
Adequate, but Derivitive

"As a long time Sci-Fi fan, I found this film enjoyable, but derivitive. The special effects were good, but not spectacular. The acting was better than I first expected. The story plot itself seems to be largely derived from Irwin Allen's original 1960 movie version of "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea", which is the better film in my opinion."
