StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Rob_Taylor Okay, so it wasn't that good. Plus, it is an Asylum film, so I wasn't expecting much when I sat down to watch it. But, all things considered, it wasn't dreadful. In fact, it hung together reasonably well.Sure, there is dodgy CGI, poor acting (especially from the guy who looked a little like Peter Lorre), weak dialogue and plot that we've all seen hundreds of times before. However, it's just the right side of "meh!" to avoid being an awful mess.Adrian Paul and Richard Grieco are easily the best actors on screen in this one which, admittedly, doesn't say a lot, but they give reasonable performances. The others manage varying degrees of incompetence, but no one really stinks.The guy tasked with playing the android clearly loves Star Trek, though, and that made me laugh more than the Avatar girl did. Original, this isn't, but it takes several movies and shows (Star Trek, Avatar, Predator, After Earth etc.) and manages to make something entertaining out of them.I know what you're thinking.... Asylum movie... right? But they have been getting better slowly. Considering the budget, it's a decent effort, even with the toy guns as props.If you think how many big budget movies get made and then stink the theatre out with their badness, this ain't so terrible! SUMMARY: You won't watch it twice, but it is a long way from horrible.

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

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 ;)
