From a floating half submarine with a lawn chair as a control seat to such an exaggerated dialogue, I don't see how this movie even made it to TV... boy was this a sad movie to watch... did it win Golden Raspberry award!! If not it should!!
Anything from The Asylum does make one wary, as does a movie of theirs with a vs. title and a concept as silly as the one in Asteroid vs. Earth. The Asylum have definitely done far worse and there are a couple of redeeming merits. The best thing about Asteroid vs. Earth is Tia Carrere who gives a very charming performance and has a compelling enough screen presence. The scenery is nice too and there are moments of halfway decent photography, the editing also could have been far worse as well. The look of the movie though is far too drab giving it a gloomy and overly-serious visual quality, and while there have been far worse special effects in an Asylum movie they look rushed and awkward as there been inconsistency in how they're proportioned. The music is much too pedestrian and is constantly happening, when the orchestration and sound is so heavy throughout and in a dramatic sense it does get too much really. Apart from Carrere the acting is not much to write home about, Robert Davi spends the whole time looking lost and Paul Russ plays his role far too seriously. There are no characters here to engage with, not in the annoying sense but in that they are very cardboard and underwritten, and the script at best is flimsy with dialogue that is flat and at times gibberish-like and things that are picked up on but rarely explored. The story, the concept of which was silly to begin with, is ludicrously implausible to the point in places of being incoherent, any potential fun is so hampered by stupidity that it's tiring instead and the unconvincing conflicts and predictability makes Asteroid vs. Earth very low on the tension and suspense levels. Overall, there is far worse than Asteroid vs. Earth from The Asylum, but it is still pretty bad with every ingredient for a badly done disaster movie(mostly from The Asylum oddly enough) present here. 3/10 Bethany Cox
Oh my god what a load of complete twaddle. Tim (Tuvok) Russ must have been desperate for work. The story, the acting especially from the female lead is so wooden it makes Pinocchio look real when he was still a puppet. The Science isn't just laughable it's straight out a comic book. Please in these days if Civid-19 don't watch this even in lockdown. Go read a book instead.
I watched this anticipating, even looking forward to, a bad movie. Within a few minutes, it sets up the premise as revealed in the title. As such, it starts like any of too many movies with same basic plot, and devolves from there. Incomprehensible, unrelated, unexplainable events follow, and then the movie ends. That is as much as you need to know going into it, and it's more than you will remember one day later. I feel sorry for Tia Carrere for being desperate enough to be in this movie. It is typical fare for Jason Brooks.
It aspires to the level of even a typical Syfy Original movie from Asylum, but fails. It's no Sharknado.

"Asteroid vs. Earth" tells the same old story of an asteroid on collision course with earth - however, the plan to avoid the collision is different from previous movies on the same subject. Instead of blowing up the asteroid, the protagonists want to cause a massive earthquake, 18 (!) on the Richter scale, to push the earth out of the way. Robert Davi plays a 4 star general who is immediately convinced this lunatic plan is great. So let's blow up the earth to save it! Tia Carrere plays a scientist who is more or less abducted to co-operate, otherwise I presume no person with a scientific mind - or any mind for that matter - would take part in this enterprise. If someone seriously attempts to list the goofs in this movie, especially things are technically not possible, he'll be busy for days.
The most enjoyable thing on the Blu-ray disc was the making of, when the stars try desperately to keep a straight face, saying thinks like "I signed for the movie because I thought the script was brilliant". Yes, sure, most likely that's how it happened.

- GoofsWhen discussing Saipan, they talk as if it were still deserted and strewn with booby-traps left from WWII, when in fact, the island is a thriving tourist spot with a population of around 60,000 people.
