Here's a quick science lesson from a non-scientist: a (y!)asteroid hits its target - a planet - travelling FAR more than the speed of sound (appx. 767 mph).
At this speed, air can't move fast enough around an object; there's a shockwave (the 'sonic boom'), and the air's speed causes it to heat up (that's called FRICTION). The higher the speed, the faster - and hotter - the air.
So, an asteroid hitting Earth will be travelling approximately 24-THOUSAND mph.
That will cause enough heat to ignite things without being lit with fire.
If you've read this far and understood this simple science explanation, congrats; you now know something most grade schoolers know.
Correction: you know what? Most people went to a semi-decent school and paid even a bit of attention (if they just like to watch shows on either science or even aircraft).
The point's this; it's frightening how stupid anything would have to be to come up with such idiotic tripe.
There are films that are purposefully made that are campy... over the top, and 'play' with reality and facts for fun.
This is NOT that.
It takes itself seriously. It takes its... (il)logic seriously.
I'm not going to go off and waste my time about how quickly THE SMARTEST nation on planet Earth has utterly destroyed its educational system, focusing on non-educational horse ca-ca, and people who believe in 'magic' (that's religion, especially as followed by Southerners) have totally helped disembowel the young's futures.
What do we get?
Garbage like this.
I really, REALLY hope every single person involved in this nightmare never works in ANY media again.
I'm lucky; I could tell that this was offal before it began, and I only watched a few minutes (mostly on fast-forward) to get a taste of this, but this was more than enough to leave me angry and disgusted that ANYONE would finance this, ANYONE would 'write' this (and others read it, and not only laugh and retch, but tell the crayon-scribbling mentally incapacitated person how idiotic this was) that I wasted precious minutes of my life? Minutes that could've been better used doing ANYthing.
I hope you won't be.
