Owen (Greg Grunberg of HEROES, BIG ASS SPIDER) is a video store owner who specializes in disaster/apocalyptic movies, from robot invasions to giant volcanos exploding. He fantasizes about them. His wish comes true when weird electrical pulses start striking the earth. It shorts out the electricity and fries some people. So he, his girlfriend, and his employees want answers and they think they'll get them from Walter Brown (Brad Dourif), a man who has created a lot of those "End of the World" movies. Only Walter is locked up in an insane asylum. They manage to break him out and they go to his bunker out in the country--and he's killed in a freak accident before he can tell them all what to do. Inside the bunker they see there's all these disaster scenarios--and the one that seems to be happening is because of an interstellar wave. All these current strikes are just a precursor--when the actual wave hits all life will be destroyed. So what do they have to do? Well, it involves firing a nuclear missile...
This is a very entertaining sci-fi movie and perhaps one of the most good natured apocalypse movies I've seen. Recommended.
