Good concept, poorly executed.
ShangLuda
Admirable film.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

No spoilers below. Nothing could spoil this drek more than the writing and acting has already done.Horrible movie.I saw this movie this afternoon at a military dining facility in Iraq.(Yes people, your President and Congress lied to you. We are still in Iraq training their military) The twenty or so people watching simply would not stop making jokes about the stupid dialog, the reaaallllyyy bad acting, and the seemingly obvious departures from anything scientific.I have a Masters in Aeronautics, so I know a little about aircraft and spacecraft. Watching the antics of the shuttle in flight was hilarious to say the least. Not one aspect of the shuttle mission, from launch to landing, was correct. It was great to watch the shuttle, with no source of fuel, ignite and use its main engines. The "dance of the shuttle" through the small asteroid field was the best part; flying the shuttle like an airplane that had airflow over its control surfaces.Wow; the writer of this crap was obviously high on something when he puked out this garbage onto paper.Don't waste your time. Even if you get to watch it for free, like I did, it will still be a waste of time.

Having a lot of time on my hands since a busy day yesterday, I sat down with nothing else better to do to watch Earthstorm expecting little. As with a movie like Vipers, which I also saw recently, Earthstorm fits in the hilariously awful category. So what was wrong exactly? Well, pretty much everything. The film is poorly made, with very artificial-looking special effects and choppy editing. The script is full of technical jargon, which makes the film horrendously and very amusingly stilted and unintentionally cheesy. The story is dull, predictable and full of plot holes especially with the smoking moon. The characters are clichéd, and none of them ring true or are likable. And the acting is terrible, with Stephen Baldwin giving a bored-looking and sounding performance. So overall, awful but in a hilarious way. 1/10 Bethany Cox

I think there just MUST be group of investors purposely making terrible movies like this in Canada to be used as tax write-offs. It would make perfect sense. If you do a search for "Uwe Boll", he's this German guy who's made quite a bit of money for investors by doing just that. I bet there's a similar law in Canada, I'm going to look into this, hell, maybe I can get in on this racket -- Get paid for making garbage? Hey man, I gots no pride! Here's an excerpt about Boll: >>Until the law was changed in 2005, Boll was able to acquire funding thanks to German tax laws that reward investments in film. The law allowed investors in German-owned films to write off 100% of their investment as a tax deduction; it also allowed them to invest borrowed money and write off any fees associated with the loan. The investor was then only required to pay taxes on the profits made by the movie; if the movie loses money, the investor got a tax writeoff.<<<

Makes us miss Mystery Science Theater 3000, (MST3K). The SciFi channel seems determined to make the worst science movies possible. Our family thinks SciFi should resurrect MST3K in some form so they can show these movies twice, once straight (-ish) and again a year later with the MST3K crew heckling it end to end. This one would be loads of fun for them. Moon cracked by an asteroid impact! Crack on Moon expected to expand until part of the Moon flies off! (Gravity? On the Moon? Don't be silly!) Fighter plane shoots down a meteor with an air-to-air missile! They plan to pull the Moon back together with magnets! (Gravity? You're just being silly again!) One character says, "We don't know if the Moon even has an iron core." (In fact, we know it doesn't. Its density matches the mantle of the Earth, which is what it is made of.) Shuttle flies to the Moon! Making airliner noises! People this stupid deserve to be killed by an asteroid collision.STILL it does not beat Doomsday Rock for worst science movie ever. This one did not have any ancient aborigine cave paintings.
