blimdb One good point about this movie: it made me learn about Asylum and its mock-buster movies (thanks to IMDb). So now I know I have an excuse to add that unnamable thing to my SF movie collection, if I can find a copy for about $1 (I do find some on the legal market).I watched it to see how far they would go. To be honest, no one can be that bad by accident, whether acting, script, dialog, whatever. Not by accident: it has to be intentional and one has to work hard at it. So abysmal that it made me laugh on occasion.I guess it is interest in this attempt at breaking barriers and setting new records of outrageousness that won the participation of actors we have seen in better context.Spoiler (though spoiling this movie is hardly possible): Another good thing about this movie is that all the characters get killed: they all deserve it.Given that the film was actually trying to be bad, I must consider it a real success. I must logically rate it at 9. I actually hesitated between 9 and 10, but I want to encourage them or other filmmakers to try even harder to see whether they can do even worse. I actually read from other reviews that Asylum can do worse. So my guess is that 9 is the right rating.

szule101 When the opening titles of the movie started I was quite excited! Slick, professional and intriguing titles. This boded well, I thought. And Robert Picardo, to boot!!Then the film started.With really cheap/badly, composited fireballs just missing the Hollywood hillside sign, then a cut to a guy on a crowded freeway talking on the phone to his ex-wife - I just knew, all was lost.For a lot of this film I was hoping that the experiences of the main characters were an induced dream/coma perpetrated by the Aliens to determine whether they could win a war against humanity - A much better plot, in my opinion.This could have been a great little film. The spacesuits were believable for a Sci-Fi film. I was especially impressed with the depiction of the alien world's vegetation - the 'Yellow brick road' path they tramped down, not so much.Overall fails? 1: Bog standard Sci-Fi premise. 2: Wasted budget on opening titles that could have been spent on a better script/story writer. 3: Wasted good talent (Picardo) 4: A really hack ending. This was never going anywhere but the bargain bin.But it could have been so much better.Corman and Cameron made an absolute fortune on the back of bad Sci-Fi. They made poor stories into decent films, well executed - and that made their fortune.This is a good story, badly executed.Overall Rating: 4/10

Vincent Black From the opening scene this movie it blows chunks. This movie is so bad you can watch the first 10 minutes, skip to the last 10 minutes and the rest is cannon fodder. Now that concludes my review of "The Age of Tomorrow". Should you care to stick around I am now going to give some major points as to why this movie is so lousy. The rest would be considered as "spoilers", if that were actually possible.Opening scene, fireman and concerned father is driving on the LA freeway talking on his cell phone. California law bans all drivers from using hand-held cell phones while driving. Of course we then hear him tell his wife that he left the teenage daughter home with the dog and she will be just fine. After that he places another call to his juvenile daughter (still driving) and tells her not to come home drunk again. What an upstanding character for this movie!Scene two has some very low budget military and we get to see the two name actors "Kelly Hu" and "Robert Picardo". Sadly they both look like they are in pain for taking Asylum's blood money, but they need to eat too. Apparently in this scene, physicists who are both employed by the Pentagon and are expected to arrive, don't have clearance to see Generals and are detained by security. Dr. Gordon explains the asteroid one fourth the size of Earth's moon is going to collide with the Earth in just 48 hours. This is very typical of most movies to make killer asteroids much bigger than you need. Since the moon is roughly a few thousand miles wide that would mean the asteroid is about 500 miles wide and going to kill us regardless. We have no bomb big enough to blow up a rock that size. The next scene is fireman Chris Meher and his buds at a fire. Either the firemen in the scene have jedi powers or someone tossed axes at them and they actually caught them. Firemen are not safety minded people in this movie. They proceed to rescue a woman from a burning building. Meher's partner breaks his leg and is carried back to safety while Meher returns to show off more awesome jedi powers by leaping out an exploding window on the sixth floor and landing with the victim on a parked car not even denting the trunk.There are serious unrealistic acting flaws such as unprofessional character in both military and firemen. Such as whooping it up when you find out you are being paid $3 million to save your world from an asteroid collision. Whining about weapons to go on the mission. "Great we got tickets to the end of the world and we don't have any damn guns." The shuttle interior and spacesuits look like they were decorated by Doctor Victor Freeze. There is far too much gravity on the small asteroid there was no attempt to make the actors appear weightless. Later when the firemen and Major Blake are pinned down, Chris Meher states his plan to go rescue his teenage daughter. Two of his fellow firemen state his daughter is not worth it and she is not that cute. Science and the laws of plausibility are chucked into a dumpster when the asteroid rescue team discovers that the asteroid is nothing more than a prelude for alien invasion. They get teleported to the alien homeworld yet can make some type of call for help. Assuming the alien homeworld is as close as 4 lightyears away such a signal would take longer than 4 years to reach Earth. The age old joke of removing your helmet and saying, "Good there is air here." hasn't made me laugh since forever.Finally about 52 minutes into this movie there is a pathetic scene on the alien homeworld. Captain James Wheeler is freeing an unknown and healthy female captive and she is distraught and begs him to kill her. Everyone knows that people in a crisis think clearly so... the Captain stabs her slowly in the gut. Yes, he kills her in the most painful way imaginable. What a hero. Yet moments later he is faced with a fellow soldier who is obviously been tortured and dying who is denied the same sympathy or indifference.Watching this whole movie is like getting stabbed in the gut by Captain James Wheeler.

YankeeDivision Well, overall it was not a tragic movie but at the same time it was not a great movie. I did like the story plot. The acting could have been more realistic. The actors are very talented but seemed to be without chemistry. I am going to pick on authenticity leaving the space stuff alone. The Generals uniform, wrong. To much insignia. Generals do not wear crossed rifles on the green army service uniform (out of date) ACU's needed some detailing, complete name tapes and left arm patch. The viewer was left wondering what unit / organization these soldiers belonged too. At one point we are told the Colonel was an air force pilot but was not in an air force uniform nor did we see any air force insignia. Details folks always complete the details and fade in the back story. The fire dept., LAFD is huge and works as a team. You would not find an engine company left to handle a fire by its self. I'm not going to address the ray guns… it's a Sci Fi movie. Long critique short, It could have been a Fantastic movie if details, articulation and a faster pace were adhered too.
