Asteroid Impact

I don't know why the ratings for this movie are so low. It's honestly not a bad TV disaster movie. The graphics are actually quite good for a TV movie, despite other reviews. I mean what are you expecting? Big budget graphics? No way. But this movie does well. I've seen every disaster movie ever made and the CGI in this movie is far superior to most other TV disaster movies. Some were just laughable, but not here. The plot is a tad recycled, but a bit new. The acting was also good. I've seen bad acting, and this movie doesn't come close to bad acting. Great? No. Bad? No. Give it a try acting and decide for yourself. Anyone who likes disaster movies should appreciate it. Though I would have liked to see a bit more disaster scenes, I'm quite pleased with this movie.

From the cheesy dialogue to the complete lack of scientific accuracy, this movie is completely ridiculous in its ridiculousness. About the only thing mildly entertaining (and the only reason for 2 stars instead of 1) is the laughter at the mile-a-minute tearing apart of the inaccuracies one can do while watching. I'm a firm believer in willful suspension of disbelief to enjoy a work of fiction, but this movie challenges even that.

The standard disaster movie formula. A whistleblower on his project is ostracized. Naturally, he is the only person that can detect and deflect danger. His family does not understand him. Other than his loyal brother, he is being shunned by friends and is at odds with the government for letting out their dirty little secret.

Now in the final countdown will the snotty controller listen? Of course not.

It is up to a team of outsiders and the whistleblower to act on their own and doge the FBI pursuit.

Bad acting, bad chemistry, bad characters, impossible domestic situations, and worst of all an unbelievable final solution. Wait a minute I have it; let's use pepper spray on the asteroid.

Go ahead and kibitz. Do not look outside as this may be real. It may be the last review I ever write. Thank you for reading this with just minutes left.

I love this kind of movie but why are they so bad? Surely the people responsible have seen a disaster movie, Deep Impact comes to mind, it was a great movie. Why waste the money and your credibility? It's not even a fun bad movie, again Why.

There are good disaster movies far better than this one. Some familiar faces from Hallmark (Canadian) movies though. Most of the actors were overacting making it seem laughable at times, especially FBI agent Jenkins, who I think they were trying to make her come off as trying to look & be a JLo wanna be, was terrible!!

Save yourself and avoid this disaster...
