Planetquake

I understand not having a phone on while in air but there's earthquakes, like either of you could die. I like just blatant earth ending stuff but I don't care for any of these people I don't know anything about them either. Everyone seems like they are reading the script for how calm they are.

"no star wars was a weapon imitative in the 80s" and the other dude just sort of shakes his head. What even are these conversations.

I am starting to think Adam Sandler would appear in this movie. They kept mentioning the knock-on effect which they never really fully explain. The reason other movies are good that have the same premise is because they have slow down parts for the story. But the parts for the story are only like 5 minutes long. Also we see the same helicopters in multiple scenes with minor movements between the clips.

This movie is so terrible it's actually funny. If you have a group of friends who want to drink or smoke you'll thoroughly enjoy laughing for quite a while. It's as if they intended for the movie to be terrible for comedic effect. I was surprised to see no comedy label. It might go down in history as a cult classic for worst sci-fi film ever or will be forgotten forever.

I would suggest not watching this alone. It's too painful. It's funny but it's best enjoyed with friends at a gathering, hangout, party, etc. I saw how bad it was in the first 60 seconds I continued to watch out of morbid curiosity. The acting isn't that bad but everything else is like they consulted an expert that turned out to be a crazy conspiracy theorist with an understanding of science only the church or social media could teach.

Many of the Asylum movies pretty much are predictable in terms of the quality of the plot, the acting and the special effects, so no reason to be disappointed since going in you know it won't be Oscar worthy. Having said that, I found it entertaining enough that I feel no need to bash every aspect of it. I will say that at times it was too talky and too technical, especially when the trio of world savers were trying to figure out how to do it. I don't if I am imagining it, but it seems the character of Dr. Millie Anderson said "I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier" more than once. Her genius brother was pretty much wooden and some of the other characters felt like they were overacting or just bad actors.

Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for this movie. At the start, it stated 25 years of movies by the Asylum. At the beginning, it was really low quality, poor special effects, and laughable scripts. Since then, some amazingly almost decent movies have come for Asylum. However, this movie harkens back to its roots. It is the sloppiness of the movie that really detracts. There is a passenger plane, shown in the air, and then on the ground, after the crash. Apparently the landing took off all the paint, and made it look like an abandoned fuselage. And rescue crews apparently working on the natural disaster in Seattle were from Germany, based on the words on the back of the uniform. Feuerwehr, meaning fire department. One has a woman who is in charge of earthquake monitoring, and her husband is in the military, and her brother is no where to be found, after leaving a top secret government project, but he holds the key to solving the life ending disaster that happened when a mission went wrong. Oh, and her daughter was on the plane that crashed. Fortunately I was able to stream this movie, so I could take frequent breaks to get away from the nonsense. I am giving it three stars as the fault lies with the budget and the script, not the performances.

Acting was mostly fine, writing was weak, primarily in the area of "science", which was atrocious.

The characters were believable, for the most part. Having a girl (Sophie) in charge of helping on the airplane was a joke.

The lasers in space, from a far away orbit, was so unrealistic as to make one cry. The airplane crash-landing was catastrophic, and few (if anyone) would have survived. Moving tectonic plates -- gimme a break. Earthquake simulations were simplistic. Buildings fell like CGI from the 1980s. Big ocean waves hitting the coast -- ridiculous.

Some of it wasn't horrible, but don't waste your time.
