Atlantic Rim : Résurrection

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

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.

This is garbage, trash or whatever and a been waste of time and my money...

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 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?
