Horrible waste of time

OK, I've put up with 30 minutes so far.

The inattentive driver who managed to kill an entire family is now cleaning for the second time the house of the lone survivor of the tragedy.

The very thought of a second planet occupying our orbit is completely idiotic and senseless, much like the plot of this messterpiece.

Forget renting it. If it comes over TV or cable, change the channel.

I want my half hour back.

Why is it idiotic? It's idiotic to believe that something related to the sky is impossible. A meteoroid can hit Earth anytime. We can discover another universe tomorrow or another planet. Nothing is impossible when it comes to science. If all you got from this movie is that it is not realistic then these kind of movies might not be for you cause you don't get them. There is much philosophical teaching beneath this than anything else. You didn't get its meaning.
