Something that I didn't mention when I was reviewing the movie. It had a count-down that runs toward the end of the movie as "XX hours until extinction".
Normally when that sort of thing shows up in a movie, the main character waits around until the last possible second and then saves the day.
However, in this movie, you get really close, they don't listen to Colin "Dick-Stabber" Salmon, and then it looks like they've saved the day. The main character's son asks him whether they're gonna be OK, and the main character responds that he thinks so. At which point it zooms out a bit, shows the facility exploding, then zooms out a bit more, and shows the Earth exploding. And then in the same font and style as the countdown, it just says "Extinction".
I laughed. Thought it was actually quite an interesting ending, because there was not even a hint of a happy ending.
Movie wasn't very good. Decent, but all in all, not very good. But the ending was probably the best bit.

Speaking of not very good movies... at walmart they had Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation on sale for $9.
Needless to say I now own them.
I'm more than a little excited.
