IMO sci-fi has two parts...'science' and 'fiction'
this series misses both,
Lets start with the 'fiction' part slash plot .government hi-tech experiment goes bad sun is going ham on planet earth human hero 'bad-boy-knows-it-all' saves earth from the sun then he knows how to restart the core then he restarts the core with a machine that he kept in his barn and finally he gets the girl!
My personal metric is which of this ''original story'' couldn't have been written by a 10 year old...verdict: not much have to give credit though for the 'really fictional' parts i could spot.. the fact that he did all this while getting chased by the US military – and the part that he could operate a multimillion-high-tech-sun-magnetosphere-disruption- facility with just his daughter and her boyfriend ah and the president dies of falling debris because he was giving a speech under a half collapsed building <- this was a good one
About the 'science' part -Not there-
And no ..you don't have to be or pretend to be a scientist to figure out that downtown Chicago, Big Ben and Athens is ridiculously unlikely to be destroyed by satellite debris. Or if you turn a blind eye on the solar- flare-induced-6.5-earthquake, how can you not wonder why the heck the epicenter was somewhere in East Coast US?
I watch sci-fi and enjoy it because it could show a glimpse of what might happen after 50-100-10000000 with a lots of sauce of course, but with some respect to some scientific hard facts .. this film was about what could never happen in a trillion years in the most remote parallel universe.
Acting was alright I guess ...
