I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

'Post Impact' ('PI', 2004) TV/DVD (also known as 'Apokalypse Eis' (TV) or 'P.I.: Post Impact'), an German/American SciFi Channel production, will lead to easy, if not unfair, comparisons to the production of 'The Day After Tomorrow' (2004) DVD. Character development is a slight strength, but 'PI' contains a weak ensemble cast with Dean Cain expected to carry the film under mostly competent direction. Additionally, the interesting premise/plot is wasted under a poor script and further weakened under barely adequate editing. Why bother? Well, this film would only be recommended to the most avid of Disaster genre viewers (& Dean Cain fans!), while most typical viewers may easily find more compelling productions of similar genre. For similar themes consider: 'Meteor' (1979); 'Armegeddon' (1998); 'Night of the Comet' (1984); 'Meltdown: Days of Destruction' (2006); 'Absolute Zero' (2005); 'Three Minutes to Impact' (1996) TV; 'The Day the Earth Caught Fire' (1962); & 'Deep Impact' (1998). Also consider: 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' (1954); 'Countdown: The Sky's on Fire' (1998); 'Buried Alive' (2004); 'On the Beach' (1957); 'The Core' (2003; 'Alive' (1993); 'The Day After' (1983) TV/DVD; 'On the Beach' (2000); & 'Crater of Death' (1998) TV.

This movie really doesn't deserve the bashing it's received. Granted, it's a TV movie. Talent and production value are correspondingly lower than a better-funded Hollywood project, but they did very well with what was available.Dean Cain plays his usual character; slightly bland, but generally likable. Bettina Zimmermann and Joanna Taylor are both very hot, and turn in decent performances, to boot. Special effects are nothing special, but better than most TV movies and some Hollywood films. I thought the premise was interesting, too, although they didn't have time to explore it the way a mini-series might have. Still, I think they did a fine job of addressing the major points.There was an acceptable level of action. It could have been better, but then again that is usually the case.The pacing was actually excellent on this, never bogging down. It takes enough time to do the scene, but doesn't linger (except for a brief 'villain's exposition' scene that seems overdone, mainly because he's rambling pointlessly. I could have done without that.) All in all, a solid film.

I think this was a total waste of time and effort. The movie was sooooo bad, I turned it off. Thank Heaven I only paid $0.25 to rent it. The best part was the first five minutes (when the comet struck). The plot was weak, acting was bad, and my favorite character was also the dog. I really can't think of anything else to say about this sad piece of junk, except if you don;t have a beach, library, do the dishes, go to the dentist, rake leaves, dust the house, do anything but watch this movie. Hopefully I've taken up the required ten lines, because i feel obligated to tell my fellow movie watchers to please find something else to do instead of watching this junk.

I read the reviews during opening credits and decided I want to see just how bad a movie could be. I have to admit---I did some channel surfing during many parts. The acting was thin and it had the macho woman/emotional man bits as with a lot of made for TV movies these days. I have to say, its not the worst I've seen and others that could come close are shown right here on the SCi Fi channel. I liked the hard nosed commander though. I kept thinking that if I made a movie, I could do so much with his character.Maybe an OK movie for a bunch of young teens during a sleep over or if you have a serious case of insomnia at 3am. Other than that, watch one of those old B&W Sci Fi's with the space ship hanging from a string
