Asteroid-a-Geddon

Wow, HORRIBLE actress. only one emotion - anger. even sensitive lines are delivered angry. As bad as I've ever seen

and outrunning a Tsunami in a car from a standstill - just wow!

So you know the movie is going to have crappy special effects, bad acting and a poorly written, but the acting by the lead Veronika Issa (Alexandra Svoboda) has got to be one of the worst in movie sci-fi history. The other actors were fair to good, but the lead apparently went to the Joey Tribbiani night school class.of drama. Most of the time she looked like a chicken pecking while trying to recite her lines. I understand that the lead slept with the director in order to get the part, but the other twenty people in the movie looked like professional actors compared to Veronika Issa. I would suggest that in the future that Veronika only be allowed parts that have no speaking lines or acting positions. If she wants the lead for being the best, she could look at maybe a elementary or middle school drama program. Of course she would probably still have to sleep with the teacher to get the lead over the kids. .

Well, truth be told the title of the movie set off an alarm clock already. I mean, "Asteroid-a-Geddon", seriously? Yeah, well still I ended up sitting down to watch this disaster movie. And then the logo of The Asylum came up on the screen, and I just knew it was going to be one of those movies.

Let's just be honest, The Asylum is not exactly known for their track record of putting out super impressive movies. Sure, once in a blue moon they manage to release something that is outstanding in comparison to their usual releases. But as it happened to turn out, "Asteroid-a-Geddon" was not one of those uniquely outstanding movies.

In fact, the storyline in "Asteroid-a-Geddon" was just so generic and mundane that you could actually drift off to Slumberland and wake up a bit later and continue to watch the movie as it you never missed a beat. Not to mention that the movie was as predictable as these type of disaster movies come.

The special effects in "Asteroid-a-Geddon" were adequate. But for a movie made in 2020, the special effects left much to be wanted. I mean, it felt like I was watching a movie from the late 1990s or thereabout. The special effects served their purpose well enough, hence being adequate, but they were by no account impressive or visually bedazzling.

"Asteroid-a-Geddon" doesn't really boast itself on having that much of an impressive cast list. I mean, there was Eric Roberts as the only familiar face to me. And let's just be blunt, I mean, he is Eric Roberts for better or worse.

This disaster movie from writer and director Geoff Meed is not one that you have to sit down to watch, as it is by no means an outstanding or memorable addition to the natural disaster movie genre. In fact, it offers nothing new to the genre, actually.

My rating of "Asteroid-a-Geddon" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

A new low for The Asylum, who are not even so-bad-it's-good anymore. Barely any kind of FX in this one at all, just a lot of people chit-chatting with looks of mild consternation on their faces. Eric Roberts is the 'name' cast member whose role is just to sit behind a desk and respond to people shouting at him. Almost as bad as cinema gets.

This would be a good movie maybe if you are blind and deaf
