Review Summaries
"Harry who has been drilling for oil all his life was just asked by his government to drill a hole where no man has drilled before. A massive meteor is ripping through our solar system heading straight for us, big enough to wipe out all life on Earth, it must be stopped. Harry and his men must first get to the meteor in order to drill a hole deep enough to drop a bomb down in, hoping it will stop the threat. "
Dave D., Resident Scholar
"An asteroid the size of Texas is on a collison course with Earth. As smaller fragments impact around the world, NASA sends up a team of deep-core drillers with one mission: drill a hole 800 feet into the asteroid's crust and drop a H-bomb there.
"
Matthew Hagenah, Resident Scholar
"Bruce Willis leads a team of drill experts, including rebellious Ben Affleck, on a NASA mission to destroy a massive asteroid headed for Earth. Comic-book adventure, but excellently crafted."
Artemis, Resident Scholar
"An Asteroid is on a collision course for Earth, better call Bruce Willis!
Excellent sci-fi/action thriller/love story from Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer. Recommended."
