Nonureva Really Surprised!

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

fredf-67149 Give these guy's a break, even the less capable actors throw there heart into this production. Plus the 'Bikini' clad babe role goes to Bali Rodriguez, Hubba Hubba. Once again despite her slightly awkward performance, her enthusiasm makes up for that. Hey, let's face it, screen-time with Bali Rodriguez could hardly be wasted. Also her make-up and costume are great for all the right reasons. I could go on and on about Bali Rodriguez of course, who wouldn't enjoy that. There were other actors in it, and kind of like an illusion, if you stare really hard at the screen for 20 minutes, you start to notice them and not her. Then like a Random Dot Stereogram they shift out of focus and you can only see her again. I digress, back to the other stuff... the jungle location is beautiful, the plot engages just enough to keep you interested. There is enough pace to carry the film. The sound and lighting are good throughout. The plot twist at the end 'though pretty obvious' is delivered well without added cheese. Are some of the scenes a little too long, yes... is some of the acting less than 1st class, yes. But for a $1,000,000 I'd be happy if I could produce this. Finally the right people die, and the right people live, but crucially.... the characters are developed enough to care about what happens to them.Hmm, what else, oh yes, I should have mentioned for all those Bali Rodriguez fans that Bali Rodriguez is in it! Which she is! What's that? I already mentioned it! Oh right? Er... well I guess I am done but for the scores then.So for the film I'd give 'eight' out of 'ten' (if you like B Movies), and out of 'ten' I'd definitely give Bali Rodriguez 'one'.

trashgang Another flick from The Asylum. People still buying those flicks and it do offer something for The Asylum. It never made a loss on any film made buy them, go figure that one out. This one here is another perfect example of an Asylum production.The script is simple, a no-brainer. The effects are cheaply done some do work other don't. And loosely based on other flicks. The humanoid here do wink towards Alien's Bishop. The 'chameleons' are based on Predator. But naturally it doesn't work well like those classics. But it isn't one of the worse kind coming from them. It's watchable even as the story falls together in the middle. If you like B-movies then this is worth picking up, if you think you will see the next gem, forget itGore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 1,5/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

TheLittleSongbird That is saying very little however as After Earth was so poorly done, the worst movie personally seen so far this year with one of the worst ever child performances. As bad as it is though it is a masterpiece compared to the irredeemable dreck that is AE: Apocalypse Earth, one of those Asylum mock-busters that happens to "taking inspiration from" After Earth. AE: Apocalypse Earth is not quite down there with The Asylum's worst movies but it's in the lower end. If there is one glint of a redeeming quality it's some competent photography at the end. Visually, it is not good at all and that it's low-budget comes through loud and clear. The scenery is very dully rendered and lit, never once drawing us into the setting, while the special effects look as they were made last minute and that the makers ran out of time to properly finish them and the photography and editing in general are an eyesore. The music is generic and forgettable, sometimes derivative also of the score for After Earth(the least bad thing about that film), while the sound effects and quality are murky. The dialogue is often total gibberish, somebody really needs to check that what they're writing makes any kind of sense, and is cheesy and stilted as well. Seeing as this is The Asylum we're talking about, the lack of originality(not just After Earth, Predators and Avatar as well) is something you eventually have to accustom to- no matter how frustrating it is- but the story still fails to be exciting, emotionally investing or remotely interesting for that matter. Instead it is as plodding as the story for After Earth, has the same nonsense and questionable science you expect for the Asylum and any dramatic scenes are mawkish and forced. The characters are not memorable or likable in the slightest, a few are even annoying, the fact that levels of characterisation itself are next to non-existent is a large part of the problem. The direction is flat and characterless, and the acting is so bad from everybody involved it's not worth commenting on, ranging from bored-sounding to irritating. In conclusion, horrible from start to finish. 1/10 Bethany Cox

seularts Beyond the fact that this movie had a 1 Million budget to run on and that the acting and special effects are bellow average, the plot got me sticking to the movie. Considering that people chose to run away from Earth because aliens decided to wipe us for no apparent reason and the fact that the ship ended up on another planet different than it was designated to reach, because of some mysterious intervention, things started to look even more interesting and unpredictable.In my opinion either the director of this movie had a very bright idea for this plot or he ripped it from a very good Sci-Fi book.Also using a natural jungle environment instead of some stupid studio or some lousy forest in the back yard, also made the movie more attractive.About the acting, well maybe monkeys could have played better if they invited some from that jungle. Maybe if they didn't spoke that much and only took action for their survival, it would have looked a lot more real. I have to warn you, the dialog is kind of dumb but I've seen way more worse than this and also the action is kind of Rambo/Chuck Norris style.The special effects, hmmm.. I've seen some crazy animation in my time done for as less as 10,000 euros, but for a budget of 1 Million this movie was ripped off. They did manage to create some sound effects that made the environment feel like it's not from Earth but being a B type movie, everything strikes you back on how poor the management of this film project was done.I give this movie a 5 out of 10 because of the unforeseen plot and especially the ending, that somehow made me remember of a movie related to monkeys. So if you rely want to relax and have a few laughs at the bad acting and effects, I do recommend you this movie.
