Storyline
A family fights for survival as a planet-killing comet races to Earth. John Garrity (Gerard Butler), his estranged wife Allison (Morena Baccarin), and young son Nathan make a perilous journey to their only hope for sanctuary. Amid terrifying news accounts of cities around the world being leveled by the comet's fragments, the Garritys experience the best and worst in humanity while they battle the increasing panic and lawlessness surrounding them. As the countdown to global apocalypse approaches zero, their incredible trek culminates in a desperate and last-minute flight to a possible safe haven. —STX Entertainment

Did you know
- TriviaThe comet is named "Clarke," in a tribute to the late Arthur C. Clarke, author of the 1993 novel "Hammer of God," which describes the impact on Earth of a planet-killing asteroid. The novel predates the movies Armageddon (1998) and Deep Impact (1998), which deal with similar events.
- GoofsWhen the soldiers "wand" the family with metal detectors, they would have discovered Nathan's insulin pump. Then they would have told the family "no chronic diseases" and the family would have stayed together at that point. However, the pump ( nor their cellphones, keys etc. ) wasn't detected, because the wands were only looking for very large metal objects, such as handguns, not smaller objects, which would have needed close "wanding" over the people's bodies and limbs, not a cursory wave over just the body.
- Quotes
Nathan Garrity: My friend Teddy says your life flashes in front of your eyes when you die. I think it would be better if it did that while you lived. That way, you could see all the good memories and be happy.
Nathan Garrity: Why's it not happening why's my life not flashing before my eyes?

Too much drama...
A disaster movie is supposed to be about the disaster but in 90% of the movie we have is family drama. The film on the whole was not bad but some of the scenes were boring and unnecessary. The acting was good though.
