Earth's Final Hours (2011)

Earth's Final Hours is a movie that I had seen about a year ago, but never finished. I decided to rent it from Netflix and review it for this blog.

The movie starts off with a scientist and his assistant doing research in a field. An FBI agent comes by to see what is going on. Suddenly a meteor crashes down from space and kills the scientist.
As if the FBI agent's day wasn't crazy enough, his son, who is computer savvy, just got arrested for hacking into the city hall system and stealing city money to pay off debts for his elderly neighbor (she was about to be evicted).

Earth gets hit by another storm and scientists find out that the meteor was from a white hole. The white hole has almost the same density as a neutron star. The storm begins to destabilize earth's magnetic core, causing all kinds of destruction, and halting its normal rotation.
The FBI agent teams up with a scientist to locate a man who knows how to stop the situation from getting worse. They find the man, and they go to a building with 2 satellites. The satellites have the power to fire an energy beam at the hole where the meteor passed through. The energy beam will help get the Earth back on its normal rotation.

The team experiences a lot of bumps along the road, but can they fire the beam in time before it's too late? You'll have to watch the movie in order to find out!

My review:
As someone who has seen several dozen disaster movies, this one was the most unrealistic and far-fetched. Of course these movies are going to be on the far-fetched side, but this one was extremely far-fetched. The special effects weren't the best I've ever seen, but they weren't the worst. The acting wasn't bad. There were a lot of unknowns in this movie. The only person I recognized in this movie was Bruce Davidson (he played Rothman). He did a fantastic job in this movie. If you're familiar with him, he is a decent actor.

I do recommend this movie to my readers. It's an okay movie. I've definitely seen better, but I've also seen A LOT worse.
