Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

chris-watkins-1 Worst film I've seen since the Wickerman remake(Nicolas Cage, what are you doing!!). If you haven't got the budget to make a disaster movie, don't bother. Acting was awful, directing was terrible, didn't even feel like a disaster movie! Sorry you film makers, you need to try much better! If you want to make a disaster movie, generally it will be cheesy unless the world blows up as an outcome but modern day movies need to try a lot harder to get my vote. My favourite movies are Wickerman(original), Dead Man Shoes, Lord of the Rings(I've let some of the poor effects go as it's awesome),Of Mice and Men, Shawshank Redemtion and Batman Begins. I've recently learnt that I'm pretty hard to please with films but I'm sorry but this film wasn't my thing! Hope someone else out there enjoys it

gradyharp Who can tell why this film was made? FORCE OF IMPACT (aka DEADLY SKIES) was apparently made for TV though it seems highly unlikely that it was ever screened. Not that the story itself is a problem: giant asteroid is sailing toward the earth with the potential of destroying the planet unless someone is smart enough to out guess the logistics. In this film the smart one is Rae Dawn Chong in a role she can sleep walk through. The government is not eager for her company to employ its 'better than government issue' strategies: Rob LaBelle and Michael Moriarty have a great time being mean. But it is Rea dawn Chong who remembers a terrific mind in the form of Antonio Sabato, Jr. who can save the planet....And that is where the difference lies - Chong encounters Sabato and his lover Michael Boisvert en flagrante in a completely nude sex scene that is as sensual as any found in the movies. Nothing much is made of the reason for Sabato to be gay and that is good: he just happens to be a gay man in a healthy relationship, and the chemistry with Boisvert is definitely there. But that is about all we get, other than an opening scene when two beautiful young au naturel women make it in a swimming pool while a mini-asteroid collides in the water.So it is another routine space age flick, but add to the salad the eye candy offered, and it is almost worth sitting through the movie! Pretty people help keep this one afloat.

xwiseguyx I have not seen this movie but I thought it important to make a response to the previous comment. He thought that the movie was made as a straight thriller and then was rejected so some additional gay scenes were added. In actuality, the article I read stated that it was made as a gay movie, however, if they found enough popularity to go mainstream, then they would cut out the gay scenes. So he was actually almost correct in his assumption. I did purchase the movie from the Here Channel, but have yet to watch it. I don't think I will be disappointed because, well.... it was never in the theatre, so I can't possibly think that it would be spectacular event....

abraxas-19 The high point --perhaps the only point-- of this TV flick is the leisurely and soft-core lovemaking scene between Antonio Sabato and Michael Boisvert and their subsequent beefcake shots. (Sabato plays a similar scene in "Testosterone"; maybe he's carving out a little niche for himself!) As for the rest...it's the usual anti-military paranoia combined with pacifist self-righteousness of too many movies like this. I checked and found that the writer is Canadian, so that explains that! Rae Dawn Chong's character is beyond annoying. The Evil General is such a tired cartoon cliché. The pacing is bizarre. It's like an octopus on land. I got quickly to the point where I didn't really care if the "Deadly Skies" turned out to be deadly or not...
