Oceans Rising

In this brand new shiny Asylum mockbuster we see the earth flooded with no ark in sight! Just two scientists, their small craft and a few people who somehow someway survived the torrents of water.

Being an Asylum movie as you can imagine it's awful! From the sfx, to the cast, to the script, to the entire movies creation.

Ridiculous concept, countless flaws, plot holes and just little to no redeeming features.

I've always said that The Asylum should stick to slapstick comedy as the few bearable movies they've done have come under that category.

When a story about a flood is less realistic than the biblical one, you know you have a problem!

The Good:

Nothing

The Bad:

Usual Scyfy pseudo science

That bloody kid

There's something terrible about to happen to the world - a giant, Earth-killing wave will soon eradicate nearly everything. Only one man, a scientist no less, can save humanity but the powers that be won't listen to him. So, he does the next best thing: builds an ark that holds exactly 11 people.

It doesn't take too long for this disaster to occur, and when it does Dr. Josh and his loyal colleague, Dr. Pam, are in the right place at the right time - the boat yard! Suddenly, those who doubted Dr. Josh need his help with saving what's left of the planet. Now, the dynamic duo need to get to CERN in Switzerland and accelerate some particles, displace some gravitons, and reset the earth's magnetic field. Can they overcome impossible odds and do the impossible?

"I need three of you guys on the double," shouts Dr.Pam to a group of survivors she and Dr.Josh picked up floating around in the endless sea. "You're going to save the world."

This movie is classified as an "Action, Sci-Fi, Thriller." Well, let's see. Action? Check! Sci-Fi? Hmm, well ok. Thriller? Uhm...sure. How about adding "Comedy"? There are some serious LOL moments that I don't think are scripted as LOL moments. This is such an awesomely bad movie, and I think it actually takes pride in being that dreadful. The CGI is so awful it's mind-blowing.

Nonetheless, we need these kinds of atrocious movies to be more thankful for the ones that are bad, but not this bad. Therefore, when we see movies like "Sharnado (2013)", or the classic "Pootie Tang (2001)", we'll know that things can get worse. Quite worse.

TWO things you'll LIKE about "Oceans Rising": 1) If you're in a bad mood, this movie will cheer you up. 2) The next movie you see after this one will be better because they can't possible get worse than this one.

TWO things you'll DISLIKE: 1) The movie itself. 2) Whomever recommended it to you

I wish IMDb made a special 0 rating for such a movie. Never in my life have I been this disappointed. I swear I could have made better scenes with a 4K camera with a drone and a small boat. The acting I mean what the f looks like they took a high school drama team and paid them in Doritos. They should all the prosecuted for wasting my time.

Can I give this a NEGATIVE 10? The concept of this movie is in 2017, a rather old concept in terms of real science and an even older in sci-fi. The synopsis for this movie is a complete lie. There is no ark built. It's a charter fishing boat that the main character has bought. The budget of this movie must have been only for the camera and effects computer rentals. That this movie is owned by Broken Films LLC is ironically truthful. In almost half a century, I have never seen such horrible acting, script writing, effects, editing, total disrespect to physical time lines and even the very basics of physics that even sci-fi can't explain, and exasperatingly unbelievable character interaction. That SciFi allowed this to make it to viewers makes me wonder the sanity of its top brass. That it wasn't scrapped after reading the initial script is even more disturbing. I would have believed a script that gave the main characters the power of thought to change the earth's polarity a more plausible concept over their mangling of real particle physics. The product of worm riddled brains. Not even good for white noise while you sleep at night.

The acting is awful, just awful. A high school drama club could do better. The script is ridiculous. The science doesn't even pretend to make sense and the dialogue is completely unrealistic. The worst thing though is the special effects. The tiny model boat they use for the ocean scenes doesn't look anything at all like a real boat, let alone the boat the people are in. The ocean even looks fake. I don't know for sure but it looks like the ocean scenes might have been filmed in a kiddy pool with a fan blowing over the surface. It was not funny enough to be funny, campy enough to be another Sharknado, or good enough to be a time killer movie. Really, really bad.
