Asteroid vs Earth (2014)

terrible... so disappointed.

I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

The only reason I didn't give this loser, appropriately made by a group called "The Asylum," the 1 (really 0) it richly deserves is because I love Jason Brooks, the only reason I watched it in the first place. It doesn't say anything good about the nadir to which we've degenerated that this irrational piece of mentally incompetent trash could even be considered for production, much less actually wasting more than $1 in creating it, having nutty plot holes big enough to drive the entire US Army abreast through. If I needed more evidence of the vast incompetence of scy fy vs actual technology (but I don't), this would be an unmitigated howler of a candidate.

Terrible. There are no words to describe the incoherence of this film!It tries to emulate a big sci-fi masterpiece without minimally succeed in the effort. Ridiculous scenes, inconsistent, inexplicable, too short. Simply horrific!The plot is so badly done by picking up the nervous while you watch it.Many many times I was about to turn off but I continued to watch it just to the disbelief of what I was seeing.I'm really sorry for Tia, who is a good actress and should denounce the authors and the director which compelled her to star in a film like this!

I watched this anticipating, even looking forward to, a bad movie. Within a few minutes, it sets up the premise as revealed in the title. As such, it starts like any of too many movies with same basic plot, and devolves from there. Incomprehensible, unrelated, unexplainable events follow, and then the movie ends. That is as much as you need to know going into it, and it's more than you will remember one day later. I feel sorry for Tia Carrere for being desperate enough to be in this movie. It is typical fare for Jason Brooks. It aspires to the level of even a typical Syfy Original movie from Asylum, but fails. It's no Sharknado.

Given the synopsis of this movie, you know that you are going to be in for a low budget version of disaster movies already done before with bigger budgets and a more impressive cast list.And the very first thing that pops up on the screen is in itself a warning sign enough to behold, The Asylum. Yep, a movie such as this is, of course, a movie by The Asylum. So why keep watching it? Well, every now and then The Asylum do manage to strike gold and release something that is impressive and surprisingly good. "Asteroid vs. Earth" wasn't one of those moments, however.A massive asteroid is on a collision course with Earth, and it is up to the American military to save the world, of course. And how do they plan to do this? Well, first of all by attempting to scatter the meteor into fragments by blowing it up with nuclear warheads out in space (yep, that has been seen and done before countless times). And if that plan is to fail, the failsafe plan is to detonate nuclear warheads in a deep oceanic trench to, and I kid you not, move the entire Earth out of the trajectory of the meteor. Move the Earth, are you kidding me? I guess that puts a whole new meaning to the song "I feel the Earth move".The storyline in "Asteroid vs. Earth" is just so preposterous and out there that it doesn't pass as being believable for even the slightest of moments. And you just sit there throughout the entire movie baffled at the ludicrous imagination going on here.I sat down to watch this movie simply because of Tia Carrere, and she actually do manage to make the movie watchable. The rest of the movie barely scrapes by as being mildly entertaining at best.The effects in the movie is nothing to make notice of. It wasn't particularly memorable. But truth be told, I have seen much worse effects and CGI in movies.If you enjoy disaster movies, there are far better ones available.
