CGiii Comment
A disaster movie without a budget...will be a disaster.
And, it is a disaster.
There is a gay version and a straight version - they needn't have bothered with either.
It is a little sickening that the director thought that by cutting out the gay bits - he would have a commercial success - thankfully, he was wrong.
Sincerity is nine tenths of film-making - Irvin shows none and that is why his film is tripe.

The(ir) Blurb...
The sky is literally falling in this thriller as one of the nation's leading astronomers, Madison Kelsey believes she is tracking a huge rogue asteroid rocketing toward earth. However, she can't get anyone in authority to take her seriously because the mysterious asteroid exists only in the mathematical calculations of her computer program and it's not yet visible. With only hours remaining until probable impact, Madison enlists the aid of discredited former Air-Force Colonel, Richard Donovan. Together they hatch a plan to resurrect a mothballed military laser in order to blast the asteroid out of the sky before it destroys the planet. The only problem with their plan, the laser is under guard in the middle of an Air Force base and the guards have orders to shoot to kill.
