Asteroid-a-Geddon

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.

I sat through this, mostly as the handset was a little out of reach and I'd just had a large roast dinner.

The like the word Petawatts, a lot.

I fear for the safety of the next person i hear saying it in real life.

Dont do it to yourself, nothing good is here.

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. .

With the title of this movie giving you plenty of notice of what to expect, you can safely agree that it will be crap. And, it doesn't disappoint. The acting is terrible with a honorable mention to Veronika Issa, from her bio, it looks like she's only just started acting, and it comes across as that too. Gigi Gustin was the stand out actress in this movie, she acted better than everybody else and she looked hot too. Eric Roberts looked totally bored. I wouldn't recommend this, unless you are vegging on the couch suffering some kind of hangover.

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