Asteroid

I decided to give this a go because of a review stating that it lost its way a bit. It never had a direction in the first place.

All of the acting is cardboard-like that I remember from educational school videos I used to watch as a kid in the late 70s or those really boring and poorly shot training videos you'd get to watch when starting a new job. The camera is static and seems to be shot from the same angles for each shot and the characters are framed far too centrally to give it any sort of natural feel.

When I first checked this out on IMDb yesterday it was rated 6.4 so I thought why not. Now, this morning, it's rated 5.4. Such a massive drop I can only assume friends of the production team rated it first.

I did give it a good go, but I just had to skip through it and see if there were any scenes or effects to help redeem it and absolutely nothing found.

I have a feeling that the ratings on this are going to plummet further.

I'm sorry makers of asteroid if I wanted to watch family/people drama/comedy I'd chosen this film but I wanted to see an actual asteroid smashing into earth and destroying most of mankind and life ( just kidding of course) but seriously the film was mostly talk and people interaction . I'm a diehard sci-fi fan and there was no sci-fi in this movie advertised as sci-fi film. So it's a no for me but maybe not for you!

The storyline looked promising and that's why I decided to watch it, but the acting is terrible and I don't think the script could even be saved with great acting. The best part of the film was the synopsis on Prime. Basically unwatchable...you'll hate yourself if you do.

Surprisingly fun movie considering the budget. Most of the acting was about as you'd expect for a movie if this type. The lead actors turned in good performances. A few of the smaller parts were decent enough although to be fair, a lot of what might feel like stilted dialog can often be attributed to editing so...

Anyway, the story is fairly interesting and engaging once you realize which direction the ride is going. The ending was mostly satisfying but could have been so much more in my opinion. Again, budget constraints are probably to blame, not lack of imagination as seems fairly evident. I will absolutely recommend this movie to friends.

I paid 3.99 for the rental on Amazon. Was not worth the price but I was desperate to watch something and this looked decent. Not horrible, not great --sorta has a lifetime movie whiff about it and other parts seem ordinary. Follows a man running from everything in his life and finally decides to make a stand. (Against an Asteroid) (YEAH!! I rolled my eyes too). Had enough interesting characters to keep me interested throughout but not 3.99 worth. Lejon Woods carries the film. 5.1-5.7 out of 10.
