Trivia

The "T-scale" referred to in the film is most likely a reference to the real-life Torino scale, which is used to determine the risk of an object impacting the Earth based on it's trajectory and size.

Goofs

All countdowns are always to launch, not engine ignition as shown. The delay is especially noticeable with space shuttles, as main engines must start several seconds before launch to be at full power before the solid rocket boosters can be ignited.

Nice Try, But Really a Bad Movie

I've always enjoyed movies that deal with the Earth/ Space relation ship ie. "Armageddon," "Deep Impact," and "Red Planet." I stumbled upon "Earthstorm" at my local RedBox. I wasn't expecting much from a movie I hadn't heard of before or from a cast where Stephen Baldwin is the only recognizable name. Straight up, this is not a good movie. The premise is decent, but the plot execution and the dialog is terrible. Special effects were also horrible. They must've used so generic CGI, because nothing looks very realistic. I won't even talk about the whole "A.S.I." and errors in the movie. I only paid $1 for it, so Earthstorm was decent bang for the buck. The best thing about the movie is hottie Anna Silk, she's gorgeous!
