Don't understand why people watch these and then complain. It's a movie by The Asylum. They've been pushing out garbage for 20 years. If you are just know figuring this out then maybe stick with movies that make it to the cinema. Complaining about it after a 20 year track record is like complaining about FEMA not responding to the Great San Francisco Earthquake. Ok... This movie is the typical fare for The Asylum. It's not the bottom of the barrel that The Asylum has spit out over the last year. It's not one of those gems that they occasionally surprise us with. It's about on par. You have rediculous plot lines that skip across plot holes like it's jump rope. They reuse CGI from previous movies. They have a fanatical group of weirdos that for some reason cause more damage to humanity while thinking they are saving it for god. Don't forget about pointless drama to meet a run time requirement. All the usual fare for The Asylum. The part that sets this a bit above the low bar is the acting. The cast of no names manages to at least make a valiant attempt and took their time in the Sun seriously. It wasn't a half hearted attempt like the previous few The Asylum movies (Shark Season was painfully dull). If you enjoy mocking terrible movies, this will be right up your wheelhouse.

A new low for The Asylum, who are not even so-bad-it's-good anymore. Barely any kind of FX in this one at all, just a lot of people chit-chatting with looks of mild consternation on their faces. Eric Roberts is the 'name' cast member whose role is just to sit behind a desk and respond to people shouting at him. Almost as bad as cinema gets.

This is movie was made as a bad joke? Someone else here said right that there is better acting in 80's * movies.

The acting and special effects are Horror-a-geddon! Some of the actors are so bad, it's almost funny.

This film was a tough sell. With an endless catalogue of these run of the mill "end of world, we must stop the rock from destroying out planet" films having been done to death since the beginning of cinema history - one would have to think... If it's doesn't stand up to some of the best made, why even bother recreating these recycled plot? I feel like the people who approve these concepts over and over are as bored as the leaders in the war room in this film. Generic to the point of being bland and an overstatement of been there done that territory - these "asteroids" have not only destroyed the earth but have filled more holes in story structure in this film that I have probably ever seen. That being said, the film has some pretty interesting VFX, that although may come off a bit cheesy and animated, felt entertaining and wasn't hard to look it - almost fun at times. Someone should call the acting police on some of the actors, the sets are non existent and the dialogue unnatural and forced, whoa, super forced. Yet, the standout actor amongst the group, Gigi Gustin is a true redeeming factor to this amateur disaster flick. When she comes on screen, she automatically steals the show and keeps you from throwing the remote at the screen. A natural up and comer and gorgeous to boot. Excited to see where she goes from here. So all and all, this is what it is, its campy, silly and fun at times, but an ok looking Vfx asteroid and a blonde talent on the rise saves Asteroid-a-geddon from imploding on itself. 4 stars!

I love disaster movies and watch lots of them ... even B-rate movies. This movie has a decent plot but much of the acting is awful and Issa is not at all believable as the female lead ... her acting seems forced and fake. I was really disappointed as I like Eric Roberts and the premise of the movie was promising. I kept hoping it would get better but turned it off about half way through.

Horrible Act.. Bad Graphics.. nothing good at all.. The ending is very expected, and similar to kids stories. Wondering how much was the budget .. I doubt if reached 100K USD

Rule of thumb for watching an Asylum film. Watch until the first disaster hits, get to know the characters a little bit even though they are basically extremely annoying and not people you would want to be stuck in a disaster with or work with or even pass by on the street, then start to fast forward until the next disaster hits. You basically haven't missed a thing. You can tell just by the title of this movie that it is moronic from start to finish, with dialogue that's meant to sound pretentious but is extremely dumb. I usually don't assume based upon a title, but in their case, I've learned the formula, and there's no nutrition in it. Another good rule of thumb when watching their films is to read the reviews as you're picking up the major plot devices and you will see that their pattern has completely been exposed. this isn't the first asteroid movie they've done, but once again, very little has changed other than they tossed the script up in the air and whatever pages fell together, that's how they filmed it. They also look for an out of work actor with somewhat of a name, in this case, Oscar nominee Eric Roberts, and pray for the best. of course that actor is going to be good and create a bit of a marquee, but most of the times as in Robert's case, they are wasted. Special effects once again our mediocre and few and far between, so this ends up being a bore. The photography going over Washington DC looks as if someone took their phone and shot it out of their plane window. Nearing two decades of these types of films, they haven't learned a thing. Most modern science fiction films are bad. This is just rancid
