Planetquake

Firstly, the acting is fine. They just were given a terrible script and it's hard to do much with that. If you're in the right mood, the comedic value of every most unlikely event happening in a way that defies everything science has ever taught us might be make it worthwhile.

The reality is, it feels like someone went into a class of 5 year olds and got stories about eathequakes and mashed them together for this movie. Personally, I was expecting a movie about earthquakes to have some understanding of the topic. Maybe I'm missing something!?

Animations are terrible but I quite like bad attempts that fit the theme or narrative. There just wasn't really any narrative, more a compilation of serious or disaster scenes that felt like it was made from whatever B roll the studio could pull together whether it made sense or not.

I guesw there's a place for these movies, it's just not when you want a movie that makes sense.

Many of the Asylum movies pretty much are predictable in terms of the quality of the plot, the acting and the special effects, so no reason to be disappointed since going in you know it won't be Oscar worthy. Having said that, I found it entertaining enough that I feel no need to bash every aspect of it. I will say that at times it was too talky and too technical, especially when the trio of world savers were trying to figure out how to do it. I don't if I am imagining it, but it seems the character of Dr. Millie Anderson said "I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier" more than once. Her genius brother was pretty much wooden and some of the other characters felt like they were overacting or just bad actors.

When I decided to watch 'PlanetQuake' I was in the mood for a 'bad' B-movie. In that regard, the movie did not disappoint - which isn't really saying much.

When a nuclear bomb detonates on the seabed, it causes a series of earthquakes and tsunamis. Now, a group of very knowledgeable people - lead by Dr. Milly Anderson (Erica Duke) - must try to prevent an impending doomsday disaster.

Helping Milly is Peter Houston (Phillip Andre Botello), who knows his way around computers, and her brother Dresden (Doug Jeffery), who used to be in service of the National Security Agency. (Quite a handsome silver daddy, if I dare say!) Together, they devise a bold - and unbelievable - plan to save the planet.

From the acting to the dialogue and the visuals, 'PlanetQuake' is definitely a B-movie. The visuals are cheap, but hey, I could see they tried really hard. Not every disaster movie is awarded a big budget. The dialogue wasn't that great and at times I found they were spoon-feeding the audience with information instead of showing it.

If you don't set your expectations too high, I'm sure you'll have a good (enough) time with 'PlanetQuake' - even if it is just for a laugh...

This movie is so terrible it's actually funny. If you have a group of friends who want to drink or smoke you'll thoroughly enjoy laughing for quite a while. It's as if they intended for the movie to be terrible for comedic effect. I was surprised to see no comedy label. It might go down in history as a cult classic for worst sci-fi film ever or will be forgotten forever.

I would suggest not watching this alone. It's too painful. It's funny but it's best enjoyed with friends at a gathering, hangout, party, etc. I saw how bad it was in the first 60 seconds I continued to watch out of morbid curiosity. The acting isn't that bad but everything else is like they consulted an expert that turned out to be a crazy conspiracy theorist with an understanding of science only the church or social media could teach.

I understand not having a phone on while in air but there's earthquakes, like either of you could die. I like just blatant earth ending stuff but I don't care for any of these people I don't know anything about them either. Everyone seems like they are reading the script for how calm they are.

"no star wars was a weapon imitative in the 80s" and the other dude just sort of shakes his head. What even are these conversations.

I am starting to think Adam Sandler would appear in this movie. They kept mentioning the knock-on effect which they never really fully explain. The reason other movies are good that have the same premise is because they have slow down parts for the story. But the parts for the story are only like 5 minutes long. Also we see the same helicopters in multiple scenes with minor movements between the clips.
