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.

Every time the Asylum releases a new movie, some pseudo film 'expert' declares it to be 'the worst movie ever made', 'scraping the bottom of the barrel', or some other such derogatory garbage. Well, none of these comments are true - what about the 50's B- Movies in which the alien was a man in a gorilla suit with a diving helmet on his head? Or 'Run For Your Wife'?
The truth is that the Asylum is expert at extracting the most movie from the least money, and no film illustrates this more than AE Apocalypse Earth. In 90 minutes it draws from Predator, Avatar and After Earth, utilising a decent lead man (Adrian Paul), passable CGI, exotic locations, and far from the worst script and direction I've seen, all for a budget not exceeding $1m.
Sure, it's never going to win any awards, and is best regarded as a 'Saturday night after a few drinks' kind of movie, but let's put an end to this Asylum-bashing. Let's see you do better!
(And remember this - the Asylum has never lost money on a movie. How many other studios can say that? I suspect none.)

This must be the worst movie I've seen in years.
Poor sound
-Poor acting/dialogues The actors are not believable, and the dialogues are so unnatural and often obvious.
The storyline is quite nice, but so badly interpreted.
At first it reminded me of a average Stargate episode but it went worse every minute.
A complete waste of my time

- Poor effects The explosions, blasts, ships and vehicles are so fake, like something went wrong in the rendering process.

So you can best understand the title of this review, let me explain Thunder Levin's "Sharknado". The film features sharks that wait around for Pacific Ocean hurricanes to pick them up and deposit them in Southern California. It features a great deal of dry land shark attacks and even one shark that is able to climb a nylon rope.
Thank GOD none of that occurs in "AE: Apocalypse Earth". This movie starts with the Earth under attack by aliens and Noah's Space Ark leaving with some grouchy mercenary who just wants to get back to Earth. What no escape pod?
The effects are very poor CGI, so don't expect much there. The one- million dollar budget, must have been spent on the body spray for Bali Rodriguez. Most of the time, she is on screen makes me wonder, if they glued the bikini to her nipples. As much time as she spends in the water, they should have use water proof body paints.
The explosive crash of the ship makes you wonder how anyone survived without a scratch. There were other flaws, other than the acting, some geeky science that will make even the amateur star gazer laugh. When the crew from the two ships talk about their destinations. The first ship was heading to Alpha Centauri and they state that it has 3 star system but Alpha Centauri is a binary system with only two. The other group say they left for Barnard's Star and claim it is a binary system. Barnard's Star is a red dwarf star about six light-years away from Earth.
I caught this "Jane of the Jungle" epic on Netflix today. I guess it's not like I am out any real money. But I wouldn't expect anyone to enjoy watching this unless you are into low budget Tarzan movies.

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 ;)

- TriviaDr. Dana McDaniel, a professor of linguistics at the University of Southern Maine, created the alien language used in the movie.
- GoofsIn the 66th minute they come across many nooses from which people have been hanged. The nooses are all bloodied which doesn't quite seem realistic.
