Asteroid

Dear GOD...when the daughter opened her trap for the FIRST TIME,I knew this was gonna be not just a disaster movie...but a DISASTER OF A MOVIE! This movie could have had potential,but the acting is SO BAD,that I couldn't get into it no matter how bad I tried. The dad's acting is the best part of the movie,but even that couldn't save it. There are FAR BETTER disaster or apocalypse movies out there...trust me. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND giving this one a great big PASS!!!!

I'm sorry makers of asteroid if I wanted to watch family/people drama/comedy I'd chosen this film but I wanted to see an actual asteroid smashing into earth and destroying most of mankind and life ( just kidding of course) but seriously the film was mostly talk and people interaction . I'm a diehard sci-fi fan and there was no sci-fi in this movie advertised as sci-fi film. So it's a no for me but maybe not for you!

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.

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.
