This is a TV review of Syfy channel’s Saturday Night Original movie, Earth’s Final Hours.
-
Earth’s Final Hours opens with a few quick scenes to set up the situation for the Syfy TV movie viewer.
We watch something hurtling through space towards Earth.
We see two federal agents, (played by Robert Knepper and Alex Zahara) looking at some DirecTV-looking dishes in a field. (Robert Knepper note: He has no accent and he’s the good guy. How weird.)
The feds find the guy setting up the dishes, but something comes out of the sky and drills him through the chest. Before the scientist dies, he asks agent Streich (Knepper) to “Take care of my circles”
We watch a conversation between two uber-secret govt guys in Washington, talking about the scientist who just became the human hole-punch.
We then meet a scientist, Chloe Edwards, played by Stargate Universe‘s Julia Benson.
Then we meet Streich’s son, Andy (Cameron Bright). The meddling computer geek son who manages to break into computers and never listen to his father’s requests.
About mid-movie, we meet Bruce Davison, who plays the scientist who understands what’s happening and how to fix or stop things, using a satellite system that’s in orbit already, set to go. He knows what the circles statement means.
