AE: Apocalypse Earth

OK we all know Asylum doesn't stand for quality. The acting is poor (as to be expected) But the Story for once is not that bad. It all sticks together and scientifically it all adds up.

I rate it a 6/10 why? because i've seen way worse movies then this, and If I am going to give Moby Dick 2000 or something a 2 then this movie deserves a 6. It is that much better then most Asylum movies. CGI can be better but then again i've seen them way worse in other asylum movies. Acting is bad, but then again, i've seen worse acting The story on the other hand sticks, and that's why i am giving 6/10 acting = 1 out of 3 CGI = 2 out of 3 Story = 3 out of 4 together that makes 6 ;)

I will get right to the point. IMDb states that the estimated budget for this film was $350,000. If that is correct, someone stuffed most of that cash in their pocket because it sure wasn't spent on real production costs.

This film has the look, feel, and sound of a film school project. The photography, cinematography, sound, sound effects, visual effects, and acting are so below par that it is hard to take this film seriously.

I could point out specifics but that would take much too long since there is very little about this film that actually works.

Basically, start at the beginning, the script; terrible. The actors; amateurs. The photography; shaky and uninspired. The direction; film school project that got a D.

But, I've seen worse, too, although I can't remember exactly when. As has already been pointed out, the acting was not great, although there were a couple of bright spots. Though there was an interesting germ of an idea at the core of this story, the writing was horrible. However, I think the more seasoned actors did the best with what they had. Both Adrian Paul and Richard Grieco have been around for years and have had some pretty good projects in the past and they clearly made an effort. With that said, I'll give it one star for the writing, one for the acting and two more for the two best things about this movie - the Costa Rican scenery and Bali Rodriguez, which I guess could also be considered Costa Rican scenery.

The robot was an outrageous riopff of Stng's Data. Every manerism, vocal style and behavior traight, he stole. Actor should be ashamed.

I found the graphics to be very poor failing to look any where near real. Sound effects were poor too. The editing was bad using the same area multiple times for two different locations. A prop started out as just very basic then in flight ended up being a much higher level prop.

I really had high hopes for this movie hunting it down on Red Box and rushing home to watch it.

The acting was poor and hard to watch.

This is my first time reviewing a movie. I am doing so because I now know how important it is. Reviewing movies can save someone time, driving, and money.

If you love Space Sci-Fi this movie might not cut it for you.
