DC Down

Let me start my saying I love Asylum Films. I've always liked low budget sci-fi and Asylum has become my go to creator. This movie unfortunately doesn't deliver the quality I expect in low budget films. I know that sounds like an oxymoron!

The blonde seismologist REALLY bothered me. She was so condescending to her colleagues and spoke all of her lines in ALL CAPS. She was way over the top and had too much attitude.

I liked the premise of the movie but it was really boring. A lot of talking between the little bit of action in the movie. I will never abandon Asylum but I hope they step it up. They're few fans deserve better.

Poorly written story. They went out of their way to ensure they had strong female leads, but they failed miserably. Even the best characters just go through the motions. Weak characters and terrible plot. Acting was terrible and very wooden. Cheesy story. This type of movie is supposed to be suspenseful, but it was way too predictable. In scenes that are meant to be suspenseful, the characters are unbelievably "cool".

One of the characters was "Staff Sergeant" Rawlings, but he wore Master Sergeant stripes on his sleeves, and they were attached very loosely. This guy was always called "Staff Sergeant", but that is not realistic. And his assistant was an Air Force "private". The Air Force has Airmen, not privates. Didn't they do any research regarding the military?

At least the movie didn't contain a lot of offensive language or promote any particular agenda.

Don't waste your time. Find another show. Read a book. Take a nap. Anything but lose brain cells on this one.

Once upon a time, the Asylum created at least so cheesy and cheap rip offs, that you could gather your Friends, have a bottle of Whisky and have a laugh at the cheap CGI, the nonsensical dialogues, the cheesy acting and the horrible plots.

But nowadays we have reached a Point, where the Asylum "movies" got so bad, its not even funny any longer. You gather all your Friends, grab some cheap booze, sit through it, and in the end no one is laughing. Youre Just sad and feel horrible, knowing youve wasted an hour or more of your Lifetime.

I guess you really expected me to write a review for this, its Made by the Asylum, thats all you need to know.

Btw i still think the Asylum is some Kind of Money laundering sheme by the Mafia or the Kartells or Something. Theres not enough confused grannies, that accidentally buy this sh** for their grandchildren, out of pure confusion, to make this company profitable. Theres No way. There Just Isnt.

We 7! Reviewers are probably half of the people in the whole world that have Seen this "movie". And to be blatantly honest, i didnt pay to See it...

Well, I can't claim that I was harboring much of any grand expectations to the 2023 movie "DC Down", given the fact that it was a disaster movie with Eric Roberts on the cast list, and it was a Tubi movie. But hey, I still opted to sit down and watch the movie, and give it a fair chance.

I couldn't finish the movie, because it was simply too boring and mundane. The storyline was so generic that there was absolutely no entertainment value to it, and thus I ended up tossing the towel in the ring 67 minutes into the ordeal, and the movie ran for 82 minutes. I just couldn't stand the boredom anymore at that point.

The acting performances in "DC Down" were as you would expect from a movie of this type, caliber and budget. So yeah, you're not in for an evening of Shakespearian theater here. Aside from Eric Roberts, whom I am by no means a fan of, then I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie.

Visually then I will say that "DC Down" was actually fair enough. It was not among the worst of disaster movie special effects that I have seen, but nor was it among the best either.

All in all, then writer and director Geoff Meed just failed to conjure up a noteworthy disaster movie with "DC Down". And the movie's cover/poster was actually the best thing about the ordeal.

My rating of "DC Down" lands on a two out of ten stars.

From the getgo you know its produce from asylum so when you see crappy cgi and incorrect uniform and settings you know its their trademark. Spoofing other movies and not be acurate. This is one of their bad ones, i know their all bad but some are more watcheable then others. This is not one of themi know their trademark is copying other movies and telling the same story wile changing one word in the original title and remain legal copyright wise but after all these years you think they would atleast improve their cgi or be a little more acurate like putting the right uniform on someone and having the right grade on them.
