Asteroid

I decided to give this a go because of a review stating that it lost its way a bit. It never had a direction in the first place.

All of the acting is cardboard-like that I remember from educational school videos I used to watch as a kid in the late 70s or those really boring and poorly shot training videos you'd get to watch when starting a new job. The camera is static and seems to be shot from the same angles for each shot and the characters are framed far too centrally to give it any sort of natural feel.

When I first checked this out on IMDb yesterday it was rated 6.4 so I thought why not. Now, this morning, it's rated 5.4. Such a massive drop I can only assume friends of the production team rated it first.

I did give it a good go, but I just had to skip through it and see if there were any scenes or effects to help redeem it and absolutely nothing found.

I have a feeling that the ratings on this are going to plummet further.

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.

Dear GOD...when the daughter opened her trap for the FIRST TIME,I knew this was gonna be not just a disaster movie...but a DISASTER OF A MOVIE! This movie could have had potential,but the acting is SO BAD,that I couldn't get into it no matter how bad I tried. The dad's acting is the best part of the movie,but even that couldn't save it. There are FAR BETTER disaster or apocalypse movies out there...trust me. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND giving this one a great big PASS!!!!

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.

I had expected a bit more laughs from the 2021 comedy drama "Asteroid" after having read the movie's synopsis and giving the movie a view.

Now, I will say that writers Dylan Avery and Korey Rowe actually managed to put together a storyline that definitely had some interesting aspects to it. But the movie was just lacking in the comedy department. And the movie's cover/poster was overselling the movie quite a bit with all the flaming meteorites.

The storyline was enjoyable for what it was, though it wasn't a particularly outstanding or memorable storyline. It is one of those movies that you will watch once and most likely never return to watch a second time around.

The movie starred Cuyle Carvin and LeJon Woods, both of which were unfamiliar to me. But I will say that they carried the movie quite well. So they were certainly well-cast for their roles.

"Asteroid" was watchable, but it is hardly a movie that I would recommend you rush out to get your hands on.

My rating of director Dylan Avery's 2021 movie "Asteroid" lands on a somewhat mediocre five out of ten stars.
