This movie somehow forgets to include all the important information for the sci fi enthusiast. We are left with huge questions like why, who and how. Kevin Bacon appears briefly and does not assist in explaining the origin of the event. All of this leads to a sort of annoyed plot confusion and dislike for the characters that lack any charisma or real charm (minus M. Ali who we liked). If there is no sequel coming, this is as big of a waste of time as blowing leaves before a huge wind event. And I use the word event to be annoying like this movie.
