I loved the penultimate scene. They all know death will come in minutes, but they just like being together. Nobody freaks out.

Then everyone has the satisfaction of seeing Meryl Streep’s character eaten alive, head first. Oh please. Way to ruin the spell.

It would have been nice if they at least tried to get the science right. Unless they can, in addition to blowing it up, ensure that only a few refrigerator size chunks of, say, tantalum remain on a collision course with the earth, and parachute those to safety. The rest have to miss. By a lot. Otherwise we’re still toast.

But as it is they are only trying to bust it up, so even if they succeed in breaking into like 10 chunks before it hits, nothing is accomplished. They missed the opportunity to have Jennier Lawrence and Leonardo Dicaprio running around trying to persuade people that although though the heroic capitalist nerd seems to have saved the day, everybody is still so fucked. But why bother? Let everybody die happily.
