Director Ric Roman Waugh plants you right into the heart of the action, forcing you to feel the sheer panic and terror this family is about to endure. From issues at the airfield to forgetting crucial medication, kidnapping to deadly thuggish encounters, the journey to find salvation is significantly reduced at every turn, as comet ‘Clarke’ burns its way through the atmosphere.
The film offers a glimpse into what could potentially transpire if something like this did happen for real and society started to break down. One particular scene exhibits an extreme example of panic. When a trip to the pharmacy could have been fatal, not because of comet fragments or the blazing sky above, but of fellow humans with guns, and a fearless reason to live.
