Goofs

The chunk which hits San Francisco was reported to be traveling at about 32,000 miles per hour. That's very credible for an orbital collision. However, the firey blob we see impact with the city was clearly traveling at about 500 miles per hour. Something traveling at 32,000 will not be seen before it hits. There certainly won't be any time for someone to hear a rumble (speed of sound is only about 700 miles per hour - anything faster than that you won't hear before it arrives).

Chicken & Waffles, Bible Quoting, Evil vs. Good !

It was very hard to sit and view this film, but I decided to see what this Judgement Day film was all about. Poor Ice-T,"Up in Harlem",'04, has to make a living and had no choice but play the role of Matthew Reese, a convict who is given a second chance by Suzy Amis,(Jeanine Tyrell),"Firestorm",'98 who played the role of an FBI Agent. Suzy had no make up, looked very bad in close ups and wore her hair in a pig tail and appeared skinny as a bean pole through out the entire picture; I forgot, she did let her hair down, but not for sex. There was lots of quotations from the Bible, and especially the Book of Revelations, where the earth is suppose to be set on fire and the end of the world occurs. Lots of time wasted on talking about eating in a food joint called the Chicken & Waffles. The entire film was a big waste of time, but if you want to waste time, this is the film for you!
