Earthfall (2015)

Wow! Such a good movie.

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

I rarely leave reviews just a star rating but this wa so funny I was in pain and would recommend this as a classic comedy for a wet afternoon so leave your brain out for a rest and simply watch jaw dropping unbelievably dumb ass amusement

REALLY GOOD START, BUT WHERE'S THE ENDING??? Good plot to start, good actors, good acting. Problem is, at the end of the movie I felt as though I'd seen the first quarter of the show and had been cheated out of seeing the last 3 quarters of it. WHY would they take a viewer through all that turmoil just to end it flat at the moment the planet (and it's occupants) were going to start the REAL adventure - creating a new world out of the ruins of the old one. I just CAN NOT understand why they stopped only 1 quarter of the way in. There doesn't seem to be a follow-up movie or a series coming off it. This movie could have continued with so many additional plots; the military setting up a base and people living there, while people who had survived without the military set up small communities all over the globe (working their way out from the area that people were still alive in). It wouldn't have to be every community fighting every other community, either. Why not every community working to help each other and reinstate commerce with each other. There could be a farming community trading goods with a mining community and a crafting community trading goods with both of those, and on and on. Runners as mail carriers. Traveling tutors for the kids, traveling medical units from the medical community, kids sent to craftsmen, hospitals, farms, libraries, etc., to live in their teen years in order to learn a trade (since the colleges would probably no longer be viable, right?) and on and on. Sooooo much more could have come from this movie than just another "shoot-em- up-bang-bang" debacle.

So I just sat there for ten minutes in silence after watching this, exhausted, emotionally drained & completely stunned at what is one of the best titles I've seen this year. Forget your superhero films with billion dollar budgets and so-called 'A-list' actors; this motion picture gets you in the feels and really puts you at the heart of the action.The Earth is under threat from a cosmic calamity, and an honest Dad is separated from his family when disaster strikes. We follow his perilous journey (along with a well-realised wise-cracking sidekick) across the now dangerous post-apocalyptic wastelands of the US of A. Combined with the danger that his innocent yet feisty teenage daughter finds herself in (a great role model for all young women, spitting in the face of the gender-defined stereotypes peddled by the Hollywood Patriarchy movie-mill) and his inspirational strong-willed wife, who herself is caught up in the shadows of a sinister government conspiracy.I was hovering on the edge of my chair throughout the film, and literally jumped out of my skin with some of the special effects and explosions. Michael Bay take note - you don't need explosions every ten seconds, just when it's necessary. Watch this and learn.In a nutshell, watch this film. 10/10.quick edit - I see that some reviews are suggesting I am somehow affiliated with the production of this film. I am not. Furthermore, I rate films how I see them, and I happen to like a broad range of productions. As a member of this website for over 7 years, I am completely independent and honest about how I view and rate films.

Did you know that asteroid shards plummet towards the earth at a constant velocity of 15km/h? Did you know that dust from a small impact can kill you for no apparent reason? Did you know that hackers like giving away random vital information? Well... NOW YOU DO!This movie is just a waste of resources! I wasn't expecting much anyway, but damn... thats so weak! The actors are OK, the script is garbage, the excitement is none! The effects are cheap, unrealistic and lack basic understanding of physics! Even the props are mediocre! The movie should not exist!2/10
