Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
damocleas Watched this with no expectations or preconceptions and it could have worked. There were bits that missed and it might be those bits were cut but it didn't improve the film. Some of the acting was iffy, There'd be a quite bit where the characters were talking then they'd hit a line that was a bit more intense and it gets delivered like it's a battle command under fire.I understand people think the ship only held 20 odd people, but it crashes and a good likelihood that hundreds could have died. The miracle is that anyone survived and that they weren't all mangled. Why couldn't that have had liferafts trigger before the crash that would smooth that wrinkle.Several times a chameleon is killed and yet no-one tried to investigate the creature ( is the invisibility a natural power or a suit ? ) Military would want to know their enemy. Plus the aliens have plasma weapons yet no-one tried to grab one for the first half the film.3 people rush off frame, enter next frame the female version of Mr Benn has 'appeared' with them with no explanation.The red jump suited people, All with their jumpsuits ripped off just below the groin. Clothes split at knees first and 2 years would either have the suits battered or all ripped. Poor wardrobe. Plus they might as well have made the suits red-shirts.why go from cover to rush out to the waters edge while the craft is flying overhead. Ditch the orange jumpsuits and crawl in 2's out into the open. What was the trained military bloke thinking? He smears himself with mud which fades and returns between takes.The cameo girls face marking fade and return, at night in the spacecraft she pretty much has a green face with brow markings.Some weirdness with the aborigines results in them teaming up and providing a trove of 'ancestor' weapons. So you have aborigines skilled with primitive weapons, military skilled with firearms so how do they divvy up the weapons, yep you guess it the natives gets the firearms and energy weapons and the military carry on with their bent sticks and bent stick arrows.Bent sticks with string makes a bow.. Yes it does if your 9 playing robin hood but come on? lashing a bundle of bamboo together would give a better effect as it would actually take some effort to bend. Bent sticks for arrows with no fletchings, nocks or head would do nothing. Though please watch you'll see the bent stick come off the string and be shuffled back by the actor, An arrowhead appears on the arrow over the hand but wide shot shows the bent stick off behind. The Black guys bow becomes a real kiddy bow near the end neat planed edges.A Bamboo spear would be easier to make and more effective so why did film makers go for crappy bows and arrows.The Boat. Their running towards the river then say 'there it is' and low there is a boat. Boat who knew there was a boat ? ( Cut scene maybe? ) Boats a black rubber boat covered in grass. Couldn't they have uses a wooden canoe and covered it or made a log raft effect. It looked so fake. Scroll on a bit and you see them paddling the next scene the 'Mr Benn' woman sailing over the waterfall on her own. ( her teleport wasn't working right ) pan back to the others and there all in the water. What happened to the boat.The Dragon thing. Killed by a flare in the mouth and lightly slashing it's belly with a knife. It dies instantly, no trashing around for hours as disemboweling isn't instantly fatal. Plus a small combat knife is unlikely to go through the hide on a leaf slide attack.what was the final calculations 25000 years? Yet the rock work was still crisp. Mountains have eroded in that timeframe before? Final quirk, Invade, Terraform then have minimum population living there to study the indigenous lifeforms. Why? Writers and props guys should have looked at the pictures in kiddy books. The armies through the ages would have given the natives better weapon and perhaps if they'd read on of the old declassified military training manuals they'd have come up with better survival gear. It's like they had an interesting idea but thought they knew enough to do it on their own without research. Fewer factual problems might have given the actors a better chance to play their parts properly.
ianb330-112-344579 Every time the Asylum releases a new movie, some pseudo film 'expert' declares it to be 'the worst movie ever made', 'scraping the bottom of the barrel', or some other such derogatory garbage. Well, none of these comments are true - what about the 50's B- Movies in which the alien was a man in a gorilla suit with a diving helmet on his head? Or 'Run For Your Wife'?The truth is that the Asylum is expert at extracting the most movie from the least money, and no film illustrates this more than AE Apocalypse Earth. In 90 minutes it draws from Predator, Avatar and After Earth, utilising a decent lead man (Adrian Paul), passable CGI, exotic locations, and far from the worst script and direction I've seen, all for a budget not exceeding $1m.Sure, it's never going to win any awards, and is best regarded as a 'Saturday night after a few drinks' kind of movie, but let's put an end to this Asylum-bashing. Let's see you do better!(And remember this - the Asylum has never lost money on a movie. How many other studios can say that? I suspect none.)
uffda_77592 The budget for this film is ~$1 million. Most of which was used on the graphics for the movie poster, which will trick just enough people into renting/ purchasing this movie to recoup the original investment. The rest were spent on hair products for Richard Grieco.I realized that I had been swindled when I saw the main actors were Richard Greico and the guy from the Highlander series. Essentially, military rules are suspended in the future, as the surfer-haired Captain Greico takes orders from Lt Highlander throughout the movie. But they do manage to fit about 12 people in their Earth Escape Craft, before crashing into a zoo on an alien planet, which was essentially 8 crates in the middle of a cornfield, after which they get chased around by aliens who possess the power of invisibility.This all happens in the first ten minutes.Then it gets less believable and more stupid.
bart-942-944948 OK we all know Asylum doesn't stand for quality. The acting is poor (as to be expected) But the Story for once is not that bad. It all sticks together and scientifically it all adds up.I rate it a 6/10 why? because i've seen way worse movies then this, and If I am going to give Moby Dick 2000 or something a 2 then this movie deserves a 6. It is that much better then most Asylum movies. CGI can be better but then again i've seen them way worse in other asylum movies. Acting is bad, but then again, i've seen worse acting The story on the other hand sticks, and that's why i am giving 6/10 acting = 1 out of 3 CGI = 2 out of 3 Story = 3 out of 4 together that makes 6 ;)
