Age Of Tomorrow (2014) - Movie Review

Official Score = 2 Devils

You know, 'B' Movies got there names as the short form of calling these movies, 'bad' movies, and as a matter of fact, at one time or another, if there was a movie that had been directed by: Alan Smithee (Catchfire), you would know that, that movie was going to be pretty, 'awful' just because he only directed the worst movies... (Well Alan Smithee is not actually a real person, but the moniker given to filmmakers who want to distance themselves from their crap movies...)

As time has gone on though, 'B' movies, and all of their subset genre films have grown to have a pretty decent sized following, to the point where you can't really say anymore that, 'B' movies are necessarily, 'Bad' movies anymore!

The reason that I mention this is that I recently saw a 'B' movie that may not be at the caliber that a lot of the great B movies are at, but is still pretty good, that movie being, Age Of Tomorrow (2014).

This may not be the best B-Movie out there, but it does have it's moments...

Written by: Jacob Cooney (The Majestic) & Bill Hanstock (Small Town Life), Directed by: James Kondelik (Airplane Vs. Volcano). Starring: Kelly Hu (X-Men 2), Anthony Marks (Blood Night: The Legend Of Mary Hatchet), Robert Picardo (Star Trek: Voyager), Lane Townsend (Adaline), Mitchell Carpenter (Dexter) & Nick Stellate (Killer 2: The Beast).

This movie tells the story of how when it looks like an asteroid that is big enough to destroy the planet is on a trajectory to hit the Earth, the United States Marines send up a team to drill in to the rock and to try and destroy the asteroid before the asteroid wipes out everything on Earth...

While they are up there though, they find something interesting, this asteroid is not actually set up to destroy the planet, but to be used as a launching platform for a dying alien race to invade the planet, but to also kidnap  humans and take them to their planet!

A Fire Fighter and an Alien... You guess who would win...

The mistake these Aliens made though, is they kidnapped the Marines, and it will be up to this team to figure out how to destroy them, and to get the information to a team of surviving military officers, (and an LAFD officer,) so that they can begin to destroy them, before the Aliens have the chance to destroy the Earth!

Now the truth is, is unless you are a B movie fan, you probably won't like this movie all that much... But as a B movie fan, I think that you will might like this movie, as it has the signatures that make B movies great! The only other thing that I will say is that this movie does start off kind of slow as well!

In the end though, if you have a chance, you should check this one out, this movie may not be the best, but it is definitely one that B movie fans should check out at least once!
