Age of Tomorrow

Dear Joel Hodgson and Mike Nelson; the ultimate film makers for some new seasons of MST3K are finally here, just think, your very own bad movie making crew, introducing ASYLUM with THE WORST films to ever make it to any screen. It might be a bit overkill for the MST3K team and I wouldn't want to harm any robots in the viewing of these movies. I seen an appetizing movie, went to check it out first, and nearly laughed myself to death reading the reviews, come to find out it is a film from Asylum, I didn't want to ruin my fun by viewing the movie.

read the reviews, they are so much better than an Asylum movie, and I really gotta say, some of these reviews are just hysterical

While "Age of Tomorrow" is not the most horrible of movies from The Asylum, then it is quite a far way from being top notch entertainment.

The story is about a massive meteor on collision course with Earth and the US military (of course) amass an expedition to send a small group of people out to blow up the meteor before it impacts with Earth (can you say "Armageddon" anyone?). But the meteor is not what it appears, and soon mankind finds itself in a battle for life and extinction.

Yep, that was basically it, and then throw in a few elements from "Starship Troopers" as well, and you essentially have "Age of Tomorrow".

The effects were actually adequate, and the aliens themselves were alright to look at. While the space-faring outfits of the people looked uncomfortable and like toy version, they were still on the right path with something interesting. If you have played the "UFO" games, then you will enjoy the outfits - just a shame that they didn't put more effort into making them more realistic and actually look like military-grade armor.

Story-wise, then "Age of Tomorrow" wasn't particularly impressive in any way. Everything was something that had been seen before in other Sci-Fi movies.

As for the acting, well, you know what you get here. And the only reason for me sitting down to watch the movie was because of Kelly Hu, but sadly her role wasn't a big one.

The movie's poster/cover makes it look a lot more interesting than the movie itself actually turned out to be.

There is very little to recommend in order to make you sit down and watch "Age of Tomorrow", so you might as well better spend your time, effort and money elsewhere.

From the acting, the dialogue, the plot and the laughable the SpecialFX (that look as though they were done at a cost of $189.00) this is quite possibly the worst film I have ever seen. There is nothing that redeems this movie on any level.

Was it made as a tax dodge? By people who think the public is even dumber than a box of rocks? By a middle school student with learning difficulties? By drunken porn producers looking to go mainstream? I don't know, but what I do know is that this is worse than anything I've seen in over 50 years of movie viewing.

Within the first 10 minutes you'll feel as though you've seen this movie before, or at least the movie plot it was based on. And that movie was a big-budget Hollywood dud!

Go watch some youtube videos of goats instead of this cinematic tour de garbage. Trust me, you'll thank me and be much better off.

Oh dear, I was tricked AGAIN by the Asylum, their gambit of naming a movie with a title close to the name of a blockbuster worked and I downloaded this to watch

{thank god I didn't go to a theater to see this}

It bad on so many levels there is just nowhere to start:

This is simply bad on EVERY level: story, direction, script and acting

Sometimes the Asylum make movies SO bad they are actually good!

I can highly recommend 100 Million years BC by Asylum, it has the very worst of everything and I can guarantee you will watch it with your mouth open

It is a little gem of awfulness and very unintentionally funny

That was the last time I fell for their tricks, I feel deeply ashamed at being caught out again, but not as ashamed as they should feel producing absolute rubbish like this

It is {like every Asylum epic} quite literally a waste of the celluloid it was printed on and a very poor use of a plastic box and disc

Find something else to do with your hour and a bit, read a book, sit naked in a bath of baked beans, hit your friends over the head with baguettes but don't wast another second of your life on this piffle

There are many bad movies and then there is this film. You can tell that some of the actors tried to justify their participation for themselves, whilst being in front of the camera. I wonder what the auditions must have been like...

The plot is riddled with holes and the main hero character has a nonsensical story arc to follow along the way. Dialogue is so bad it hurts!

Some of the costumes actually look halfway decent, given the low budget of the production. And while the location sets are not bad looking and set the tone for the action well, the production was simply lazy and did not prepare them at all. For instance there is a scene later in the film where the hero and his comrades first set foot on an alien world. While the scenery looks interesting and the trees and plants have all been made to look otherworldly by giving them weird colors in post production, the illusion only lasts for a few seconds at most. Why? Well, they forgot to remove the educational signs sticking out of the ground in front of every freaking plant they walk past. They obviously filmed this in a botanical garden of sorts and did not bother with hiding that fact at all. Incredible!

If this movie was actually entertaining to watch, I could recommend it at least for a few laughs on a rainy Sunday afternoon, but as it stands this is the worst pile of rubbish I have ever seen.

You have been warned!
