Atlanta-based engineer John Garrity (Gerard Butler) sought to mask his troubled life with wife Allison (Morena Baccarin) and son Nathan (Roger Dale Floyd) by giving a block party to watch a passing comet. Unfortunately, the celestial body is throwing off debris into Earth’s atmosphere--and Garrity faces an improbable flight with his family to the Arctic Circle before the threat hits extinction level. Riveting disaster actioner co-stars Scott Glenn, Hope Davis, David Denman, Merrin Dungey. 119 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
