I'm watching the movie 'AGE OF TOMORROW' on SyFy channel, previously known as,Sci-Fi channel. Robert Picardo, from Star Trek and Stargate as well as other memorable roles, appears in this utterly pathetic and atrociously written, directed and acted insult to the science fiction genre! Tongue-in- cheek you might think at first. I always liked those. "The Toxic Avenger" is my all time fav but this movie, made in 2014 is just BAAAAAAAAAD!!!!After 45 mins had passed and the laughs weren't coming. The dialogue AND acting were cliché's of cliché's! I am very disappointed in Picardo. I had had great respect for his past career. No longer. And using Boxleitener again would not have helped.

It deserved to be at 43 just above Eegah. I watched this to give it a chance. it would have been a laugh rite with Joel and the robots on MST3K. Why is it bad?Quote 1: Colonel Mac: "how big is it?" (bigger than Uranus)In one shot Chris Meher was running on his own then explosion something falls out the window. next shot the woman was there with him safe and sound. How? Did he put her in his pocket. Quote 2: Cabrera:"So we have tickets to the end of the world and we don't have any damn guns" Colonel Mac:"Don't worry the US govt will be rewarding you all handsomely Lieutenant Southard: "How Handsome?"... Quote 3: "Take her out easy I just waxed her".Like the movie 'Armageddon' right? But there was a twist which was the high point of the movie. My rating was lingering on 6 or 7 and the movie beyond this point took a nosedive. Also fireman with axe more effective than army man with gun. lots of characters die because the actors portraying them wanted out of the movie. Movie ends abruptly probably maxed out budget limit on graphics. Except Kelly Hu and Lane Townsend acting was awful and the lines were cheesy too

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

Well, overall it was not a tragic movie but at the same time it was not a great movie. I did like the story plot. The acting could have been more realistic. The actors are very talented but seemed to be without chemistry. I am going to pick on authenticity leaving the space stuff alone. The Generals uniform, wrong. To much insignia. Generals do not wear crossed rifles on the green army service uniform (out of date) ACU's needed some detailing, complete name tapes and left arm patch. The viewer was left wondering what unit / organization these soldiers belonged too. At one point we are told the Colonel was an air force pilot but was not in an air force uniform nor did we see any air force insignia. Details folks always complete the details and fade in the back story. The fire dept., LAFD is huge and works as a team. You would not find an engine company left to handle a fire by its self. I'm not going to address the ray guns… it's a Sci Fi movie. Long critique short, It could have been a Fantastic movie if details, articulation and a faster pace were adhered too.
