Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsDuring one scene, a character describes shifting satellites in to 'Geo-synchronous Orbit behind the Earth' with an accompanying graphic on a computer screen - in simple terms, Geo-Synchronous means that the satellite rotates around the earth at a speed that keeps it locked over one location on the Earth's surface, the opposite to what they say they're doing.

Featured review
bad science, bad research, and bad acting
Oh where to begin? Leaving the incredibly bad science out of it (and believe me, as a former astronomer I gotta say the science was so bad!), the people who made this movie did obviously NO research on what Australia is supposed to look like.
Not only did just about everyone have an American accent (and most of those who affected an Aussie accent need to fire their dialect coach), but just about every detail was way, way off. I could handle some of the small stuff (i.e. phone numbers here have 8 digits, not 7), but they got some pretty major stuff wrong too.
Whlle the cars were at least driving on the left, they all had the wrong kind (possibly European) of licence plates. Aussie plates don't look anything like what they had. Imagine a movie set in New York where all the cars had bright pink tags.
But the BIGGEST blunder that anyone who had ever set foot on this continent would recognise: Australia doesn't have the death penalty. Like in most civilised nations, it was abolished years ago. This was a major plot point in the movie, and if they had bothered to do a lick of research, they would have known they needed a major rewrite.
Sloppy
