The day the world catches fire. MEMBER REVIEW: This is a 2005 apocaplytic thriller turkey from Hallmark. Just the credits, with planets instantly exploding into chunks after their sun explodes in a supernova, lets you know this will not be good. Oh no, more weird magnetic anomalies affecting birds and other animals. (Why is it always magnetic anomalies?) This time the Sun is the culprit. And another world-weary scientist with all the knowledge, that the sun is unstable and will blow up in a week. A week? Really? But only he knows. Sigh. The graphics of the sun look little like the sun on the NOAA spaceweather page, and more like a cartoon. You would think they would look at the real thing first. This was filmed in South Africa, which stood in for Australia, with a few American actors to make it feel global. They try for suspense, and end up with tedium. The sun is lots older than we thought (10+ billion years), so it will explode in a supernova. What about the Chardrasekar limit? We get absurdity upon absurdity. This is less entertaining than the Core. There are a few laughable moments, with accompaning effects. The disasters build, and you really do not care. They do destroy St. Louis, but leave the arch partially wrecked so you can tell. But like all Hallmark Productions, it ends well. Hint, the Sun does not go supernova, because of a math mistake. Really.
