Age of Tomorrow (2014)

Waste of time

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

If you're familiar with The Asylum, you know their claim to fame is low budget Sci Fi and Horror. There is absolutely nothing plausible about this movie. They execute a space launch to a meteor within 48 hours. They send a rescue mission to an alien planet with 7 soldiers and a fireman. The Fireman kills more aliens with his ax than the entire army. If you're like me you watch Asylum movies for a laugh. Occasionally they come out with a gem. This is not one of those times. I would have to put this alongside Attack of the Killer Tomatoes in my collection of bad movies. I'd almost say it has bad movie cult potential, but that might be a stretch.

First of all, it's a bad movie. You can tell by the viewer ratings. They don't lie this time. Why is it a bad movie? There's simply too much that doesn't make any sense, and things that were pretty pointless to add into the movie.Here's why I don't think it's a good movie:-SPOILERS-One of the main characters are trying to find his daughter. Other people are risking their life to help him do this. Why? I bet they have families too they should take care of. Why did the movie tell us about "how this girl likes to party and ignore her phones, etc.." and that she didn't stay home, and instead went to the city, if it didn't matter at all to the plot. It was wasted information. And they made a big deal about her too, like people trying to find her, she's getting abducted and such, and her father crying, as if we too should care. We don't know who she is, and we don't care about her. It was just awkward to watch. This girl should just have been left out of the plot.We never got to know why the aliens tortured the humans. They used humans only for food for the queen. Then why make them suffer? It doesn't make any sense.Why did the queen tell her plans for this "mission"? She had no reason to do that. Someone should have just overheard the aliens talking about it or something. Maybe by cave drawings.The long dried out phone conversation between the black guy at the fire station and his kid. "Don't cry... Don't cry..." And we never saw him again. Nothing to do with the plot.The only thing that can kill aliens and robots are an ax...The women that wanted to die... OK, her kids were gone, but no one in their right mind would seriously want to kill themselves. And if they would (if they were f'd in the head), no one in their right mind would help kill that person. "No, I don't want to kill you", "But I lost my kids", "Ok" *shoves his knife in her guts*I really liked the aliens though. I think they looked awesome and frighting.

When the opening titles of the movie started I was quite excited! Slick, professional and intriguing titles. This boded well, I thought. And Robert Picardo, to boot!!Then the film started.With really cheap/badly, composited fireballs just missing the Hollywood hillside sign, then a cut to a guy on a crowded freeway talking on the phone to his ex-wife - I just knew, all was lost.For a lot of this film I was hoping that the experiences of the main characters were an induced dream/coma perpetrated by the Aliens to determine whether they could win a war against humanity - A much better plot, in my opinion.This could have been a great little film. The spacesuits were believable for a Sci-Fi film. I was especially impressed with the depiction of the alien world's vegetation - the 'Yellow brick road' path they tramped down, not so much.Overall fails? 1: Bog standard Sci-Fi premise. 2: Wasted budget on opening titles that could have been spent on a better script/story writer. 3: Wasted good talent (Picardo) 4: A really hack ending. This was never going anywhere but the bargain bin.But it could have been so much better.Corman and Cameron made an absolute fortune on the back of bad Sci-Fi. They made poor stories into decent films, well executed - and that made their fortune.This is a good story, badly executed.Overall Rating: 4/10
