    Decided to splurge and pay the $20 fee to watch this movie since the family was all together for the holidays. Gotta say when I saw Gerard Butler I figured this would be a B-level movie but I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely one of the better disaster movies I've seen.

    Yes. And Butler has to work with a bunch of transexuals who were banished to Greenland. He has to overcome his hatred and they all band together to take down the global oil companies. And Butler's character eventually becomes president of the New World Order.

    Spoiler alert above.

    what hard drive do they upload Trump's brain onto, tbh? Does Butler join forces with The Force or does he get a na'vi avatar and go for the unobtanium on Middle Earth with Voldemort?

    Comet coming to smack into the earth and Gerard Butler with a Scottish accent needs to get his family to safety with meteors falling all over the place. Was a combination of Deep Impact and 2012.

    Gotcha. Both of those, along with "The Day After Tomorrow", were derpy and cliché.

    Earth's magnetic force is currently too strong for that. But it's possible in some millions or billions of years it could be weak to allow that. There was an *enormous* comet that ultimately struck the Earth in Russia in January, 2013. But by the time it hit it was relatively small because of the magnetic field. Still caused over a million bucks (rubles converted to US$) considering it hit a well-populated town in Siberia. Didn't kill anyone, though, IIRC.

    Earth's magnetic field has nothing to do with protecting the planet from comets/meteors. It does protect us from solar radiation, however.

    That's what I always heard. But there is something out there around Earth that largely makes space junk, comets, meteors, asteroids etc "burn up" in space on the way down, so they often fall to earth as small stones or pebbles out of the sky.

    The atmosphere (the mesosphere to be precise). However, if something big enough comes through it will hit the earth.

    Why Robert Duvall didn't fly his spaceship full of nukes into it I'll never know.

    Albeit much smaller and weaker.

    Doesn't matter much when it's moving 30,000+ mph. The meteor that made the big crater in northern Arizona was only like 50 feet across.

    That kind of impact wouldn't end humanity, but would definitely kill hundreds to millions depending on where it hit, and even if it hit middle of nowhere in the Pacific ocean it would cause major tsunamis from temporary sea level rises.

    50 feet obviously not, but anything over 2 miles would the planet.

    anything that large would have to be a nearly statistically impossibly large en y or else it would mostly burn out over the atmosphere and be a lot smaller, yeah it's traveling at 30k MPH but if falls to earth as the size of a pebble or even a grapefruit it's not going to cause mass damage.

    The one that exploded over Siberia a few years ago was the size of a car before it entered the atmosphere tbh. They don't break up as much as you think, but the vast majority of meteors are small as .
