Age of Extinction

There are many bad movies and then there is this film. You can tell that some of the actors tried to justify their participation for themselves, whilst being in front of the camera. I wonder what the auditions must have been like...

The plot is riddled with holes and the main hero character has a nonsensical story arc to follow along the way. Dialogue is so bad it hurts!

Some of the costumes actually look halfway decent, given the low budget of the production. And while the location sets are not bad looking and set the tone for the action well, the production was simply lazy and did not prepare them at all. For instance there is a scene later in the film where the hero and his comrades first set foot on an alien world. While the scenery looks interesting and the trees and plants have all been made to look otherworldly by giving them weird colors in post production, the illusion only lasts for a few seconds at most. Why? Well, they forgot to remove the educational signs sticking out of the ground in front of every freaking plant they walk past. They obviously filmed this in a botanical garden of sorts and did not bother with hiding that fact at all. Incredible!

If this movie was actually entertaining to watch, I could recommend it at least for a few laughs on a rainy Sunday afternoon, but as it stands this is the worst pile of rubbish I have ever seen.

You have been warned!

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.

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.

While "Age of Tomorrow" is not the most horrible of movies from The Asylum, then it is quite a far way from being top notch entertainment.

The story is about a massive meteor on collision course with Earth and the US military (of course) amass an expedition to send a small group of people out to blow up the meteor before it impacts with Earth (can you say "Armageddon" anyone?). But the meteor is not what it appears, and soon mankind finds itself in a battle for life and extinction.

Yep, that was basically it, and then throw in a few elements from "Starship Troopers" as well, and you essentially have "Age of Tomorrow".

The effects were actually adequate, and the aliens themselves were alright to look at. While the space-faring outfits of the people looked uncomfortable and like toy version, they were still on the right path with something interesting. If you have played the "UFO" games, then you will enjoy the outfits - just a shame that they didn't put more effort into making them more realistic and actually look like military-grade armor.

Story-wise, then "Age of Tomorrow" wasn't particularly impressive in any way. Everything was something that had been seen before in other Sci-Fi movies.

As for the acting, well, you know what you get here. And the only reason for me sitting down to watch the movie was because of Kelly Hu, but sadly her role wasn't a big one.

The movie's poster/cover makes it look a lot more interesting than the movie itself actually turned out to be.

There is very little to recommend in order to make you sit down and watch "Age of Tomorrow", so you might as well better spend your time, effort and money elsewhere.

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
