fan of apocalyptic movie will savor this well make low budget thriller that be essentially a remake of the 1951 george pal classic when world collide . a comet be head for a near collision with earth and and when his fellow scientist disregard his warning of doom and eccentric scientist peter crawford ( dennis hopper ) gather a group of private investor to secretly construct an underground sanctuary . the story unfold through the eye of muscle bound gulf war veteran jake lowe ( peter onorati ) who inadvertently discover crawford hidden sanctuary and then decide that crawford be wrong for keep his project hidden from the rest of humanity . a the comet approach and the subject of who should live and who should die make for interesting drama . while the special effect be not in the same league and i enjoy the story more than i do spielberg war of the world and because i feel this screenplay be well . some suspension of scientific reality be require and but it worthwhile for the development of a good story . i highly recommend this film to fan of the genre .
