Age of Tomorrow

Interesting in that it makes you think about why it was so bad and other films are so good. It seems to me that the screenplay was the main problem as it could have been a hilarious spoof with a good writer, in which case the amateurish production values, direction and photography would be largely irrelevant or even help it.

The best part was seeing Robert Picardo from Star Trek: Voyager where he did a great job as The Doctor, while the worst part was seeing him in such a poor film. Picardo had an unintentionally funny line: "We're being told, from the sheer size of it, on impact, nothing will live." I and my friend burst out laughing. How did he keep a straight face?

There is worse than Age of Tomorrow from The Asylum, but with Age of Tomorrow still being pretty poor stuff that is not saying very much. Granted Kelly Hu looks great still and brings charming command to her role and Robert Piccardo also tries his best and is the most involved actor in the cast(this said this is another of quite a few cases where Piccardo's material is beneath him). The locations are cool and quite pretty and the space-suits compared to the rest of the production values are decent at least. Age of Tomorrow on the whole is a cheap looking movie however, the driving sequences look like little more than haphazardly edited stock footage, the entire movie looks gloomy, the editing is bacon-slicer like and the special effects are never great or even good, the best of them are merely okay but most of them are awful. The music is basically loud sluggish-in-tempo noise played constantly, in the more dramatic parts you really do wish that they toned it down a bit. The script rarely makes sense with exposition parts that are ham-fisted and explanatory ones that is largely suggestive of the writers having no idea what they were talking about and how to deliver it. Any snappy moments are anything but and everything else is completely emotionally flat. The story is a disaster in itself, it starts off reasonably amusing, but much of it is unintentionally with all the goofs and what stuff the movie throws at you, but this gets tiring very quickly, here we're talking about less than half-an-hour in. None of the subplots are interesting, the main plot was a good idea that was let down by a complete lack of tension or fun and the threat not being that threatening at all while the trying-to-find-daughter subplot is where the movie starts to slow down and when it slows down it does so painfully. Plus it ends on a very anti-climatic note. The movie is erratically paced, the action has no life and looks under-rehearsed, the direction shows little character or technical skill. With the cardboard and barely developed characters doing them no favours, with the exception of Hu and Piccardo, the acting is bad, some even looking and sounding like they were still trying to remember their lines which was laughable. Overall, for The Asylum Age of Tomorrow could have been worse but it is still poorly done and tiresome with a few things keeping it from being unwatchable. 3/10 Bethany Cox

I hardly know where to start telling you how this movie is so terrible. The acting if you can call it that was mostly appalling. The script appeared determined to use every cliché stolen from any action movie the writers have ever seen. From "Is that all you've got" and "Blow the thing to hell" to "Let's do this" and the classic, "Go, go, go, go go." The story had more holes than a sieve but in case you are mad enough to want to see this I won't explain how. The CGI had it's moments but not nearly enough to make up for this poor excuse for a sci-fi movie and Robert Picardo didn't do to bad a job in his role as a general. Give this one a miss.

After watching the first ten minutes I felt my brain was in agony so badly, that it was close to a seizure. Quickly I fast forwarded and... no, no,no NO! This movie should be labeled as harmful.

I voted "awful", but there should be a rating like "cheap rubbish" or "please make a law against this". So if you were lead to believe this movie is just "awful", that is only because the IMDb rating system doesn't offer an adequate description for the kind of movies The Asylum makes to fool consumers into thinking they are gonna watch something good while in stead it is simply cheap rubbish, meant do deceive you in to buying the DVD. Essentially, it is fraud. A hustle.

Though I must say, this movie - and others like this one from The Asylum's kitchen - yet have something to offer. To who'd like to count all the inconsistencies, faults, gaps, goofs and bad things, it would be pure joy to watch. Also, you could find joy in wondering WHY. Or simply laugh at all that is so wrong, it kinda gets good. But sadly The Asylum's movies are not that kind of wrong.

So unless you enjoy the pain of watching bad movies, or have OCD, you really do not want to waste your time and money on this. Or internet bandwidth. Be warned.

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
