Atlantic Rim : Résurrection

If I hadn't fallen asleep, half an hour through the movie, just to wake up, 10 minutes before the end, I'm pretty sure my eyes would have popped out - it's that bad.

Yet, I gave it 2! stars - just in case I decide to make my own version of this movie, with myself as sole actor, and a Go-Pro, so there's always room for a 1-star rewiew.

I mean i would of thought that but it is not. People spend time, money, resources to do this movie. It is a horrible experience. Effect are from 1950s, script feels like wrote by bunch of 8 years for a school project, actors are aware that movie is terrible but they had to see it through because easy money, director have no idea what a movie is... i can go and go and go on with bad things to say about this sad movie. I felt like i had to warn people who is about to watch this wretched movie. Don't do it.

I love bad movies. Getting together with friends to drink some beers and laugh at poor continuity, questionable acting, and incoherent plots? Classic.

The Asylum doesn't make bad movies. "Movie" implies an attempt at application of art. They don't care. They aren't trying. What they make isn't bad because they're incompetent, it's bad because they didn't even try.

Manos? Plan 9? As terrible as they may be (and terrible they are), they are still movies. Somebody set out to realize their vision (however incoherent) and try to entertain audiences. The Asylum isn't doing that. They're not making movies. They're just being shameless because they know people will buy their products either 1) on accident or 2) ironically.

Save yourself the time and watch some Roger Corman stuff. It's full of low-budget schlock with actual artistry. When it's bad, it's still good.

I have watched several asylum movies and one thing is constant -- the music makes no sense. Who writes this music? The music does not fit the scene, especially with the constant tension that never resolves. Then there is just too much music. I don't want to throw total blame on the composer, because the director may have too much say, but, damn, doesn't anyone there understand the role of music in a film?

Bad script, terrible plot, awful acting, poor CGI ....
