Impact zéro

This movie was bad, even for a movie from The Asylum.

Granted, when I sat down to watch the 2020 movie "Collision Earth", I must admit that I didn't really have much of any expectations or hopes for the movie. I mean, it is a natural disaster movie with Eric Roberts. Not exactly the recipe for a guaranteed success.

But still, I sat down to watch the movie, because I hadn't seen it before, plus once in a blue moon an enjoyable natural disaster movie comes along. Turns out that "Collision Earth" wasn't one such movie.

The storyline was as generic and predictable as it was stupid and unrealistic. You knew right away what would transpire in the movie, and you knew exactly how the movie would end. Yup, another generic Earth-is-in-dire-peril-but-miraculously-gets-saved-by-a-small-band-of-people type of movie. It was just despicable.

And yeah, this was also one of those disaster movies where you sit in awe and dumbfounded stupor wondering how come so many asteroid impacts happen within such close vicinity of the small group of people. It is like the asteroids were singling them out individually. It was just stupid.

The special effects in the movie were bland. They were serving the movie well enough, but they were not overly realistic or believable. But hey, at least they helped to show what was going on.

Not to mention the laughable ending of the movie, which you already knew to happen as the movie started.

I am rating "Collision Earth" a mere two out of ten stars. If you enjoy natural disaster movies, do yourself a favor and avoid this movie from writer Joe Roche and director Matthew Boda
