Compared to the last few years worth of SCI-FI originals, Earthstorm was pretty good. Certainly, the plot is full of holes and scientific inaccuracies. The chase through the meteor field and gravity aboard the shuttle come to mind as especially glaring. The special effects while adequate for a TV movie should have been a little better, especially in the last half. Still, Earthstorm has much to offer. The pace is fast, which helps the occasionally shallow plot. The characters are all well cast and likable with a few exposing character depth. A rarity in most SCI-FI productions. This is not supposed to be an accurate representation of a possible disaster, just a fun, popcorn adventure that tries hard to please and pretty much succeeds.
