Collision Earth - 2011

A tv-movie, but that's no excuse. The movie was terrible, awful really. Boring and with bad acting almost all around. The story was terrible too, but not as bas as the acting. I mean, most b-movies have scripts or special effects or lines ridiculous to the point of actually being funny, but such acting threw me totally off. I might save only the women and the man (don't remember the character's name) that was in charge of launching the missiles, the one who got his badge stolen by James, and the guards who fought James. I liked him and Jennifer enough, but the worst of them all was the main lead. Terrible.
The story is this: for a second the sun becomes a magnetar, spreading an incredible electomagnetic wave that causes biiiig trouble: Mercury goes out of its orbit, and so does a spaceship out to explore it. This comes totally unexpected of course, because in this kind of movies it's always the same thing: one second Earth is a paradise perfectly safe and the next moment it's a death trap about to be destroyed forever.
This thing causes little peaces of Mercury to fall on Earth causing little holes in the ground, and the electromagnetic field goes wild causing cars to fly... but it sometimes moves slowly enough that someone might run to avoid it... and of course the hero ( :-/ ) is so lucky as to avoid it always.
Anyway, Mercury itself will destroy Earth if they don't do something, and those in charge (at a place called Spread...) think of launching missiles against it but of course that doesn't work.
In the spaceship they all die except Victoria, the wife of our hero, of course, and she repairs the radio but can only contact a guy who build himself a super-powerful radio... her husband James tells her she's their only hope, and that she has to activate a Project7 that was abandoned in space because it didn't work but now he's going to upload an update and it will save Earth...
She's not a pilot but she manages a perfect Picard maneuver and completes the mission, and her ship still has power and energy enough to bring her home...
Many people have died, people we knew and presumably many many others since we saw so many cars flying and crashing and burning, but at the end James uses the radio to call Victoria... no answer so he goes 'Vicky it's James' because you know, if she didn't answer it's because she didn't know who was calling :-/ some more silence to create suspense ( :-/ come on, really? ) and there she replies saying she's coming home, just like that, alone. Despite being no pilot and with a ship who got through a lot, she's coming down without the help of anyone from Earth...
One of the worst movies I've ever seen, and this James was really terrible, how did he manage to get the leading role in a movie is beyond me.
