America Is Sinking

I only watch this cause I liked Johnny Pacar in different movies/tv show. He mentioned it on his social media page that it was free on Tubi....

This movie is awful. The worst. I wanted everyone to die especially the wife and daughter... Horrible Acting!!!!! Horrible Writing!!!! Nothing in this movie is good. Nothing.

Zero stars. But I gave 1 because I felt bad for Johnny Pacar.

The effects were bad. The music. The direction. The lighting. The editing. I honestly can't think of one good thing this movie has.

I also fell asleep watching this...

I know it's an indie/B movie but they didn't have extras and the scene where the car was supposed to be stuck in traffic was laughably atrocious.

This has to be a B movie. The actors and actresses you have in this movie are terrible at acting. If you actually had real actresses and actors it would had been a great movie. This movie actually made me really wanna punch myself in the face or even watching it through. Note to viewers that hasn't watch it yet. Take you some ibuprofen before the movie starts. The part that really killed me was when a tsunami was coming while this woman and her teenage daughter stopped at a abandoned vehicle to steal the gas. She pulled her water hose out from the back of her vehicle and began to get the gas out. Then ran back to her vehicle to put the gas in without the nozzle on the gas jug. Now what the hay 🤣 then drove off in their car. And all of a sudden they dose off to sleep while driving. This is so stupid. Kill me now.

I thought I've seen bad movies, but I was sooo wrong... How is it possible to get any money to produce such a terrible movie? Everything feels wrong from the first second to the end... Characters, dialogue, images, "special effects", science facts, everything is bad. This movie is painful to watch, each second feels like hours... Well why did I finish it?? Yeah, all right, I've this issue... when I start a movie or a book, I have to finish it... So the plot is that's the end of the world... hum more like the end of America, but some scientist is about to save everyone... it's not a spoiler since you know it from the start... and that's about it...

Initially I was intrigued by the movie's cover, and I had never actually heard about the movie prior to sitting down and watching it. I started the movie, and those two dreaded words popped up on the screen; The Asylum. Great, another attempt at a natural disaster from The Asylum, enough said actually.

The storyline in "America Is Sinking" is pretty generic, even for a natural disaster movie from The Asylum. Writers Jeremiah Crothers and Steve Doucette apparently opted to play it insanely safe and bet on every trope seen in previous natural disaster movies. And that ultimately made this movie bland, predictable and sort of forgettable. I can't claim that I was particularly entertained throughout the course of the 83 minutes that the movie ran for. The storyline was predictable and every bit as unrealistic as you would assume. And you know the outcome of the movie from the very beginning, yeah it was that kind of movie.

The cast ensemble in the movie was actually fair. I was only familiar with Michael Paré, Paul Logan and Lindsey Marie Wilson. I wonder if actors Michael Paré and Paul Logan are enslaved to The Asylum, as they tend to pop up in almost everything that The Asylum spews out.

The special effects in the movie were as you would expect from a natural disaster movie churned out by The Asylum. Questionable and dubious special effects. I especially loved how the helicopter changed colors in between scenes, when you see it on the roof it is green, but as the scene shifts and the helicopter it is in the air, it suddenly became a desert camouflaged color. And the scene in the beginning of the movie where the actor and actress were in front of a blue screen, and it was supposed to be filmed in the arctic; it just looked abysmal.

Of course the movie's cover far outshined the actual contents of the movie. But then again, that is usually the case with these natural disaster movies.

My rating of director Mario N. Bonassin's 2023 movie "America Is Sinking" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.

Only worth watching just to laugh at the unbelievable bad acting moments. One actor, and I use the term loosely, actually read his lines. The thing is, he isn't even a good reader! And he didn't do it just once. Many of his lines were read and it seemed he was reading them cold! The acting is laughably bad. The story line is trite. The writing is trite. There were a few actual actors in the movie but not enough. The premise of the movie could have been good but the writers missed the boat. The only good part was the camera work. It was good for what it had to work with. Overall, I won't say don't watch it because it gives you a laugh once in a while when the actor reads his lines from a cue card.
