Earth's Final Hours (2011)

Too much of everything

Fantastic!

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

EARTH'S FINAL HOURS is, you guessed it, another "doomed Earth" disaster flick that comes to us courtesy of the SyFy Channel. The plot of this one is as preposterous as they come, with a catastrophe in space causing Earth to lose its proper rotation which means that the entire planet is doomed (of course). The only thing that can save the world? A group of renegades and their family members who must hijack a satellite dish. Unfortunately for them, the corrupt authorities are in hot pursuit...Okay, this is a film that suffers all the usual problems of the genre, such as scientific unbelievability and a threadbare storyline that lurches from one effects scene to the next, but at the same time it's not all bad. The CGI effects are actually pretty decent for once, and have the benefit of looking pretty, and Robert Knepper makes for a stalwart leading man. EARTH'S FINAL HOURS also benefits from a decent, pulse-pounding score and plenty of action sequences, particularly in the second half, which make this a fairly exciting movie. Believe me, you could do a lot worse...

I don't understand why so many people post negative reviews on some of these SyFy Channel movies. These movies aren't made to be blockbusters. I don't take any of them seriously. They're meant to be entertaining, and more often than not, "mindless" entertainment that you can often sit back and have a few laughs with on a Saturday or Sunday evening.Unlike many reviewers, I actually "enjoy" watching SyFy Channel movies. Knowing how cheaply they are made and how far out some of them are makes them all the more entertaining. That being said, some are still better than others. Quiet a few of the newer ones have been very enjoyable to me, and this one was no exception.It's science fiction, not science fact and I was entertained for an hour and a half. I won't go into the plot as you can read that under the main page, but if you like watching SyFy Channel Disaster movies like myself, than you will probably feel it was time well spent. If you don't like "out there" plot lines, low budget effects and some bad acting then don't watch it and stick with "Hollywood" style films.

Greetings, Overall this movie is worth watching. I love disaster movies and this movie; yes does have far fetched ideas, but the end of the world is pretty far fetched. Yet there are a lot of us that think about what would happen if there were a possible complete collapse. I'm not going to add much about this movie in detail but the concept and execution of this movie made this worth my time.I'm not saying you're going to blown away, or that this movie will become some kind of cult classic. I'm just saying that if you like disaster movies, this is worth watching because this is believable. Not as hokey as even Zombie movies.I hope you enjoy this movie, I did.

I had the 'opportunity' to watch this movie a couple of weeks ago and I could not believe how bad it was. It was so bad that I actually took the plunge to register just to speak my piece about how bad it was. This movie makes 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' look Oscar worthy. The science in this movie is absolutely horrid and there is no logic to it at all. They spent five bucks making this movie and all of it went into the special effects budget. Nothing went into the writing of the script. Most SyFy originals movies are usually two hours of okay diversionary fare. Not this one as I could feel my brain rotting from the inside as I watched it. The topper was when the bad CIA guy was whacking away at the satellite dish at the end of the movie. Why he just didn't yank out the wires or push the bloody thing over is beyond me. I checked this movie out on the IMDb site to see what others said about it and to check its ranking. I could not believe that it had a 7.9 ranking. Maybe all that were involved with the making of the movie logged on and ranked it as that is the only way it could have gotten the ranking it has. If I could have given this movie a negative number I would have but I hope that my review will prevent more brain rottings like the one I had to endure.
