I expect sci-fi films to have good science. The premise for the calamity is based on good science and not a flimsy no explanation catastrophe. However, if this film was made after the election of Obama in 2008, there are some casting and plot points that do not fit with 2012, which will be the last year of Obama's first term. The Black president is too old, a widower, with one adult daughter. The film spends most of its footage on the destruction of US cities. I would like to have seen more international scenes. In the end, we learn the fate of one continent. But, in the final pull out into space, other land masses can be seen. Editing would have left time for a more satisfying conclusion.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

What is the controversy over?

I went to see the film to understand what the controversy was about: why some were boycotting the film while others anticipated it.
The film shows Michael Jackson as a consumate professional, working with all involved with the rehersals with respect and without an inflated ego. I left with the opinion that the film was a tribute to Michael Jackson's talent and was not exploitive in any way. There is no basis to objecting to this film.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
