I, too, got this in a collection. As my son and I watched it, we thought it would never end. The slow talking, slow moving presentation. The overt seriousness of everything. The long dull explanations and speech making. It just never ends. Not to mention, "Why is it exactly that Earth is going to be destroyed?" I guess we just need to take their word for it. The acting is so stiff. The reporter guy is such a loose cannon. He has his own agenda. He is given way too much responsibility for a guy there just to report the facts. Then there is the romance. The captain has virtually no personality, yet is admired by the token woman on the flight. When things don't work, we don't know why exactly. We don't really know why throwing things at a power source is enough to disrupt the force field or whatever. It's just so inane.
