Asteroid

I had expected a bit more laughs from the 2021 comedy drama "Asteroid" after having read the movie's synopsis and giving the movie a view.

Now, I will say that writers Dylan Avery and Korey Rowe actually managed to put together a storyline that definitely had some interesting aspects to it. But the movie was just lacking in the comedy department. And the movie's cover/poster was overselling the movie quite a bit with all the flaming meteorites.

The storyline was enjoyable for what it was, though it wasn't a particularly outstanding or memorable storyline. It is one of those movies that you will watch once and most likely never return to watch a second time around.

The movie starred Cuyle Carvin and LeJon Woods, both of which were unfamiliar to me. But I will say that they carried the movie quite well. So they were certainly well-cast for their roles.

"Asteroid" was watchable, but it is hardly a movie that I would recommend you rush out to get your hands on.

My rating of director Dylan Avery's 2021 movie "Asteroid" lands on a somewhat mediocre five out of ten stars.

Pick one.. storyline, writing, directing, acting, scene, photography, effects, wardrobe.... The perfect storm of the worst of all components together in one bomb of a production. Hope these 'actors' kept their day jobs. If one of my students submitted this I'd have them expelled.

I made this account with the sole purpose of hopefully saving your eyes from arguably the worst thing ever filmed in the history of film..I wish I was exaggerating.

That being said, part of me however feels genuinely invigorated in life because if a movie like this can get funded and distributed, TRULY anything is possible in this world..For that reason, and that reason only, ill give it 2/10.

5 seconds in, and the teenage daughter acting put me off. 10 seconds in, and the mother opened her mouth. 3 seconds after, the father.

Then I saw the horrible lines coming from them. And with some of the worst acting I've seen in a very, very long time. I mean, no amount of acting could save that script. But I'm also not sure if any amount of screenplay could save that acting.

Couldn't get past the first 10 minutes without skipping forward to see if the absolute atrocious acting and screenplay got better.

Spoiler alert: It didn't. Save yourself the 5 minutes of debating on if you're going to watch this movie. It's awful.

I decided to give this a go because of a review stating that it lost its way a bit. It never had a direction in the first place.

All of the acting is cardboard-like that I remember from educational school videos I used to watch as a kid in the late 70s or those really boring and poorly shot training videos you'd get to watch when starting a new job. The camera is static and seems to be shot from the same angles for each shot and the characters are framed far too centrally to give it any sort of natural feel.

When I first checked this out on IMDb yesterday it was rated 6.4 so I thought why not. Now, this morning, it's rated 5.4. Such a massive drop I can only assume friends of the production team rated it first.

I did give it a good go, but I just had to skip through it and see if there were any scenes or effects to help redeem it and absolutely nothing found.

I have a feeling that the ratings on this are going to plummet further.
