CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
wes-connors An asteroid is discovered to be on a collision course with Earth. This one is 200 miles wide; comparatively, the one thought to have wiped out the dinosaurs was only six miles wide. Ouch. For some nonsensical reasons, it is decided to move Earth out of the way. Earthquakes are set to "blow up the Yap Trench" and save the planet. Taking the planet Earth out of its orbit and rotation would also kill everyone, but nobody seems to care. US military officials abduct undersea deep sea geophysicist Tia Carrere (as Marissa Knox) and nuclear submarine pilot Jason Brooks (as Chase Seward) to assist in moving Earth. They were just about to have sex, but Earth comes first...Science fiction at its worst. Christopher Douglas Olen Ray unsteadily directs this woefully haphazard disaster movie. The plot makes no scientific sense; grade-school knowledge about Earth and the solar system are, apparently, forgotten by college students. While writer Adam Lipsius scores points with diverse characters, they have little chemistry and no community. Several take the assignment too seriously. This may be why less seasoned performers like Charles Byun (as Evan "Telly" Kitsias) outperform elders like Robert Davi (as Jim Masterson). The most memorable co-stars, Wade F. Wilson and Craig Blair (as Rudy and Terry), never appear on screen together.** Asteroid vs Earth (4/29/14) Christopher Ray ~ Jason Brooks, Tia Carrere, Robert Davi, Wade F. Wilson
acerbic-1 Very bad, but not outright unwatchable.Contrary to other reviews I found that gay lieutenant to be the ONLY plausible story element.If you love physics or science in general - do not watch this movie.Otherwise if you are able to suspend your disbelief so much it floats into outer space at warp speed - you can give it a try.I enjoyed it *kinda*. It was so bad, it was almost good, but not really. It is definitely above Asylum "average" quality, but I must agree that "it could be worse" is an adequate assessment here, and not a very encouraging one. Maybe it would go better after few beers.
unbrokenmetal "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.
AZ-Ben Destined to be a cult classic, this movie reminds me of Plan 9 from Outer Space, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, etc. The plot includes a subtle reference to a former gay shipboard romance, later solidified in the last scenes by the tough crewman acknowledging "we know". The asteroid is too big for deflection, but the earth can shimmy out of the way with a couple of earthquakes that will kill only half the population. This is kept secret from everyone except the evil U.S. military command who runs roughshod over China, Russia/Ukraine, and EU in an early teleconference. The XO is told he will report to the civilian scientist (Tia Carerre) as her "weapons officer". The nuclear powered submarine needs to leave before low tide. The draft is 18 feet. So they DIVE in the harbor to leave. Amazing. The faulty welding floods part of the sub and they lose the nuclear bombs made from parts of the scientist's deep water submarine which somehow float out the top hatch. Yet the people in the flooded compartment are OK. Later the submarine is severed in two by charges placed at 18-inch intervals — while underway at maximum depth — to drop the tail section with nuclear bombs into the Yap Trench. Yet when the front section surfaces it can make way with no tail and no propellers — AND the conning tower is moved from mid-ship to forward. There are so many continuity, logic, and procedural errors that the laughs never stop. This film will stay alive like Rocky Horror Picture Show!
