This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Marva
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

This movie was so bad that everyone involved should be prosecuted and imprisoned for crimes against humanity.Just kidding, but it really was that bad.I thought with some big stars like Tim Russ (Tuvok, Star Trek Voyager) and Robert Davai (Kholia, Stargate Atlantis) then it should be at least bearable. Nope. Nothing even close.Coming from a career in the military, the military characters and dialogue were horrific. Not the worst I've seen but still really bad.The Asylum "was" progressing slowly but surely towards better movies, but this was a step back. Even for the Asylum.Save your time, save your money, and just skip this. Trust me, if you watch this you'll wish you had taken my advice.

There's no excuse for bad writing, bad screenplay, bad sets, bad camera work, and bad directing. Nothing was thought out nor there was no insightful preparation to keep things real. The pacing was horrible and there was no military liaison to ensure that the rank structure or feel of a military presence was kept in tune with what to expect in running a ship, more so a submarine. Being a veteran of the U.S. Submarine Force, I gave this film a chance, but using a surface ship to present the inside of a submarine???...they would have had a better set using the inside of a car garage with PVC pipes taped along the walls. Even the uniforms were wrong, no haircuts, wrong use of rankings. The list goes on and on. The angle with the young, hotshot scientist was such a dumb move and there's no real linear threat with the time and distance of the approaching asteroid.Most of the actors in this film are washed up and probably needed the money, so they must have just been going through the motions to complete the film to receive their paychecks. I expected better from two or three of the actors, hopefully to lead and guide other actors towards a better film. But in the end, the whole thing falls apart in the first 15 minutes of the film. I held back from throwing up watching the rest.Stick a fork in the director, his career is done.

OK, Asylum is known for pretty bad flicks. Sharknado is one of the better of the lot IMHO. This movie is pretty far fetched, the acting sucks, and a lot of canned footage used. BUT I enjoyed the interior sub footage - we're talking "super low budget"! Ever see PC monitors and 'puters, dryer vent hosing, loose wiring draped down from the ceiling or a teletype machine on a sub? And a gay XO? Give me a break... And blasting the ship in two? What a hoot! Also, I liked the mylar aluminum radiation suit (unzipped!) and the lieutenant telling gunny "I was talking to Terry." Gunny says "we know"... sadly the intern dies, making things dire. Then the Saipan volcano saves the day.

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.
