After viewing this conglomeration of a film shots which obviously had no one over seeing the ludicrous, that is precisely what we are presented. This has gone onto my list of favorite ultra-bad movies since I guffawed and laughed out loud during the entire film. One thing I will mention is the fact I almost always enjoy Graham Greene as an actor and I would have to believe he wanted to pummel the writer and director throughout this farce.I liked Pacific Rim even if it was a bit cheesy because I am an anime fan and that is specifically what they were attempting to achieve. These films are on two ends of a spectrum.It is noted I have viewed some very wonderfully made low budget films and it is because the writer and director took the time to get the amalgamated pieces connected and coherently proper. I would have to challenge anyone to show me one scene in this movie that had ANY fore thought put into it. I truly believe someone walked into a preschool class and asked the kids to write a script for them which was transcribed by word of mouth to an adult and nothing was changed.This was almost as enjoyable as Mega Shark Versus Mecha Shark. Just not quite there yet. The only thing missing in this movie was the anticipation of the three bots combining to make a "Voltron". That never materializes but damn they do get the weapons, from where I have no idea.So you are warned, this is a heinous creation but if you want a laugh due to no one utilizing logic in creation or no continuity in any way, shape or form, you WILL laugh!Play a game, get a few bottles of your favorite whiskey and shot glasses and some friends. Begin viewing this monstrosity. Each and every time you witness an inanity of any kind, call it out immediately. The person to point out the inane does not have to take a shot, everyone else does. I guarantee within 15 minutes, you and your friends will all be utterly inebriated.

(even in Sharknado the actors are much better).The script itself have no-sens and we can notice that during first 5min of the movie.Seriously after 10min my eyes was almost bleeding just seeing this very stinky movie.Pacific rim was way much better and interesting (at a certain point) then this one.Truth is The Asylum is not capable to release something good and every time they release a film, you can be sure that it will be a mess or an awful version of a movie which was already made 100 times in 100 different way but this time you just don't have to waste your time because you know it will stink.To do a resume : Just don't lose your time to watch it or other movies released by "The Asylum" because it's just a waste of time !
... View MoreThat one review by someone who gave this an 11 out of 10 clearly owns or manages the production company (called The Asylum) that made this terrible film and judging by his comments, he is a very, very immature person, but then anyone who would make a film like Sharknado obviously has something wrong with him. I think this 'Asylum' company, (guy/company, whatever 'he' or 'it' is), should switch over to making cheap porn. Actually what he 'should' do is quit making movies altogether and get a job flipping burgers if it's not beyond his skill level. I wonder if he's some spoiled rich kid that wanted to be a 'movie' producer so daddy financed him.
... View MoreNot really spoilery, but vaguely mentions things that happen.So, the other reviews are right. The direction is bad. The acting is wooden. The dialog needed work. The lighting isn't subtle. Interior SCI Fi sets don't match exteriors. Settings and scenes and plot aren't logical. The music is meh. Makeup artists were possibly non- existent. New York City mostly looks like someplace in California (or maybe Florida). But you kind of expect that. I mean, it's a knock-off, low budget, Fi-Sci interpretation of somebody else's idea. What's amazing is picking out things that they did BETTER than Hollywood. Like the headsets the guys on the oil rig are wearing. Although for movie shooting, the lady's mic should have been lower, it was a smart way for them to get along without boom mic operators AND it's something real people would need to wear. The conference between the admiral and the others after the oil rig disappears? That could really happen, and if it did, it would happen with iPads on a desk instead of stupid holographic displays. (Although who buys magenta light bulbs for their office, you must tell me!) And by putting two women in their really-way-too-big submarine interior, they passed Bechdel in the first set of scenes, without really even trying. The cast looks like a group of real people rather than modeling school rejects, and the effects were MUCH better than I had any reason to expect. Don't expect too much, look for the craft, and mentally write teleport platforms just offscreen in about half the scenes, and you should have no trouble enjoying this.
