Rock Jocks Trailers

Imagine asteroids so large that they can wipe out all life on the planet constantly bombarding the Earth. The only things standing in the way are the Rock Jocks, a top-secret band of government employees, who pilot asteroid-killing satellites. The story takes place during a Rock Jocks night shift. Though they are there to fight off asteroids, they spend most of the night fighting off boredom, themselves, and the occasional meddling government bureaucrat hell-bent on cutting their department’s budget.

Reviews
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Flight32 Surprisingly adolescent humor for a project with Felicia Day. She is usually a safe bet for intelligent humor but this movie is a breath above what an 8th grader could write. Such a disappointment. That's all that needs to be said but to make this review have the minimum required lines of text I am now just typing nonsense, much like the general feel of this movie's script. To repeat: That's all that needs to be said but to make this review have the minimum required lines of text I am now just typing nonsense, much like the general feel of this movie's script. Once again: That's all that needs to be said but to make this review have the minimum required lines of text I am now just typing nonsense, much like the general feel of this movie's script.
Hanover Employees for a secret organization that polices the skies for asteroids are threatened to be replaced by a computer unless they can justify the reason they are needed. Could have been a cute little movie if Just Chon wasn't so annoying. This is another case of where a single character makes the whole move a very unpleasant experience (unless you're like five years old or something). I almost turned it off half way through.The rest of the cast is pretty good. Its always nice to see Felicia Day. Jason Mewes seemed more like a "guest star" than anything else as his role is definitely a throw-away role and not even really needed. I think he was more or less added to have a somewhat big name on the cast.Some of the special effects are better than average as well.Unfortunately Justin Chon's "In-Your-Face" performance through 98% of the film makes the movie pretty much unwatchable. Did nobody on set realize he simply wasn't that funny?
schmidt-john22 It's not often that a low-budget movies manage to unironically entertain me, but Rock Jocks is the exception that proves the rule. I'll admit, I wanted to watch this because it looked cheesy, and on a few levels, it still is. There's one location, maybe about 7 people in the main cast, and the CGI isn't exactly Avatar, but this movie manages to use those limitations to its advantage. The movie takes place in an obsolete and underfunded secret bunker, and it's obvious that this overjoyed the production designer, who filled the room with all kinds of retro junk computers and panels. Since the characters never really leave the bunker, the cast size is actually perfect: everybody has their moment, and nobody is used too much. The makeup for the alien, Smoking Jesus, is amazing, and the guy who plays him is the guy who played all the monsters in Pan's Labrynth! This is how you make a low budget sci fi movie!
wattleseed I had a chance to see this film in Denver last night. The film is laughs from beginning to end. Yes, there is quite a bit of profanity (it might not be a film for the little ones), but it works well with the plot/characters. I especially enjoyed the ensemble feel to the cast - every actor had their moment. After the film we had a Q&A with the Director, Paul Seetachitt. How often does one get a chance to do that?! It was interesting to hear some of the stories behind the making of the movie. I have already decided I need to see this again. Go see Rock Jocks! It Rocks!!!
