Asteroid

Surprisingly fun movie considering the budget. Most of the acting was about as you'd expect for a movie if this type. The lead actors turned in good performances. A few of the smaller parts were decent enough although to be fair, a lot of what might feel like stilted dialog can often be attributed to editing so...

Anyway, the story is fairly interesting and engaging once you realize which direction the ride is going. The ending was mostly satisfying but could have been so much more in my opinion. Again, budget constraints are probably to blame, not lack of imagination as seems fairly evident. I will absolutely recommend this movie to friends.

Storyline, writing, directing, acting, scene, photography, effects, wardrobe.... The perfect mix of all components together in one surprising gem of a production.

Yes, I took the main sentence of one of the 1-star reviews here and modified it to what pretty much sums up the impression I had from this movie.

It is, in my opinion, a rare case, where an unexpected watch led me to a wonderful experience.

Whoever may have expected some Bruce Willis movie clearly didn't read the synopsis. It's a light-hearted, well-played, well-written little comedy about a little family that settles in a small town, only to learn that this town will be the impact center of an approaching asteroid.

And though there isn't real drama or any action, the movie kept me sitting through to the end.

I wanted to give it 7 stars, but for upping it a little, i gave 8.

And I ask my self, why good movies off the mainstream get low ratings.

I paid 3.99 for the rental on Amazon. Was not worth the price but I was desperate to watch something and this looked decent. Not horrible, not great --sorta has a lifetime movie whiff about it and other parts seem ordinary. Follows a man running from everything in his life and finally decides to make a stand. (Against an Asteroid) (YEAH!! I rolled my eyes too). Had enough interesting characters to keep me interested throughout but not 3.99 worth. Lejon Woods carries the film. 5.1-5.7 out of 10.

The storyline looked promising and that's why I decided to watch it, but the acting is terrible and I don't think the script could even be saved with great acting. The best part of the film was the synopsis on Prime. Basically unwatchable...you'll hate yourself if you do.

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.
