Do all cameramen go to "Camera Jerk School"?

First of all, I'm gonna get this off my chest. I HATE THE MOVING CAMERA SYNDROME!!! That's NOT what "Movies" MEANS!!! ARGH!!!Creators of cameras created anti vibration tech so that when you are taking a picture/moving picture the lens compensates!!! NOW they PURPOSELY DEFEAT the anti vibration by JERKING the cameras all over the place! This is so stupid!!! Bad enough when they jerk the camera around to simulate earthquakes, but when no "earthquakes" are happening it's DOUBLY stupid!THIS IS TERRIBLE! I'm watching the movie right now! ARGH!!!Other than the CAMERA JERKS, it's a half-way decent movie. I don't know the science so I can't comment on it! This is FANTASY! Fantasy has been part of Sci-Fi from day one. So-called "science" has been along side fantasy all along. That's why they CALL it "Sci-Fi", as in Science Fiction.But fiction is a part of life and people believe fiction every day, but I'm not gonna wax political...

Not bad until the last 20 minutes.

I love science fiction and I am normally perfectly willing to suspend normal logic and common sense to enjoy a good Sci-Fi movie or book.Earth's Final Hours started off well enough. Sets were pretty well done, editing was nice and tight and the action moved along at a pretty good pace. Acting was sufficient with minor digs for an underwhelming performance by Cameron Bright (the son) and some serious over acting near the end by Roark Critchlow.Unfortunately things went really silly for the last twenty minutes or so of the movie. We find ourselves in a situation were there are literally seconds left until the end of the planet. Yet, when Julia Benson is wounded, everyone drops their "second by second precision satellite guidance efforts" to rush to her aid and to see how she is doing. Then they stand around and visit about it. Hey, if life on earth is about to end, don't you think you might want to stay by your equipment to stop it? And then in an outdoor scene near the end, the character Lockman (Michael Kopsa) tries to destroy a satellite antenna which happens to be sitting on the ground within easy reach. Now here we witness a guy bright enough to be a Division Chief for the CIA and he tries to disable the antenna by bending down to whack meekly at the lower outside rim of the dish. Like he has to duck around the transducer sticking out of the middle of the antenna to find a place he can hit without doing any damage. That scene was so painfully, obviously stupid (as was much of the last 20 minutes of the film) that I actually found myself moaning out loud. It totally spoiled what was otherwise an enjoyable viewing.I don't think this movie ever had the potential to be great, but it didn't deserve to be so badly done at the end that it is literally painful to watch.
