Scientifically Inaccurate
9 July 2019
Some beautiful cinematography and an unexpected take on the disaster genre. However, the inaccurate portrayal of a 60KM asteroid impacting the earth ruined it. A 60KM asteroid impact would be an extinction level event on a global scale. The struggle for survival, moving to America, hiding in bunkers - all futile. The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was many times smaller, yet research shows life literally cooked to death on the other side of the planet. Large asteroid impacts heat the atmosphere to intolerable levels for all life other than extremophiles. There is no surviving an impact of that size. The writers should have done their homework on this and consulted with scientists.
