Every big disaster movie released on the big screen always bring wanna be made-for- tv movies. This Movie is not even close to "Deep Impact" or "Armageddon" which both were very good films. Well some woman looking in a telescope discovers a big astroid that seems to be coming to the earth. It Hits right in Kansas city. I found myself rooting for the astroids.
