That's what one of the technicians who was tracking the asteroid shouted. Even though the asteroid was still behind the moon, on its collision course.
Well, O.K. But I would think a movie script writer who flunked out of elementary school would know differently -- even on a low-budget $2 million movie.
And then, when they launched the rocket inside the secret underground complex, it was in plain unobstructed view of the launch control panel and technicians. But there was no blow-back from the engines, which should have incinerated everybody.
And the rocket engines were running the entire time from the Earth to the asteroid behind the moon.
NASA would love to know how they did both.
When the hero parachuted down to the area of the underground secret hideaway, the pilot was flying at only a few hundred feet to avoid radar in a remote mountain range, or so he said there was radar in the wilderness. So, the hero parachuted. He should have bounced two or three times before the parachute opened.
And when the hero was in another gunfight with just about everybody, we knew he was out of ammo when he kept pulling the trigger on his automatic, and we heard "click, click." Automatics don't go "click, click" when they're out.
When Hopper was asked how he was able to build a secret underground complex at a cost of several hundred million dollars, and get a rocket with a nuclear warhead, he simply said something along the lines that he avoided the government bureaucracy.
Near the end, when Dennis Hopper and the main characters and their families approached the entrance to the elevator shaft leading to the sanctuary, there were around 40 "extras" who found the entrance and were waiting for something to happen. They all knew they were about to die.
Hopper & company calmly approached the entrance. The "extras" did nothing but look. Maybe just one had a comment, but that's it. Hopper pulled out his remote and keyed in the code to open the elevator doors. The "extras" did nothing. Hopper & company got aboard and said their final lines. Only when the elevator doors began to close did the "extras" ran amok and rushed the doors to save themselves. Oh, get REAL!
And at the end, there's a distant future peaceful Earth, with the storyteller telling the children how all this happened long ago, with a space view of the earth now surrounded with fragments of the moon.
Well, without the moon, there goes the tides, which is how the oceans clean themselves. But that doesn't seem to matter to the plot line.
And the list goes on.
The storyline itself is just plain awful. Dennis Hopper, a fine and gifted actor, just must have had an overdue yacht payment to make, to get involved in this disaster of a disaster movie.
This movie is ONLY worth watching if you're having a rotten day, and want to see something much worse to lift your spirits.
