This is a very silly attempt at a disaster film. It is successful, however as a disaster of a film. Richard Crenna is a peyote-smoking scientist who is willing to sacrifice himself for mankind. Other forgotten actors and actresses have roles such as the cheating husband, the reporter who will sleep with anything to get a story, and a survivalist and his family who actually believe that they can survive an impact of comet if they dig a hole and cover their butts with a blanket. There are several other idiots in this really bad imitation of a disaster film made from a puppet set, but they are not worth mentioning. Where is Miss Brooks when you really need her? The alternate title of the film was "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall", but they decided to save that title for another film.
