DC Down

Once upon a time, the Asylum created at least so cheesy and cheap rip offs, that you could gather your Friends, have a bottle of Whisky and have a laugh at the cheap CGI, the nonsensical dialogues, the cheesy acting and the horrible plots.

But nowadays we have reached a Point, where the Asylum "movies" got so bad, its not even funny any longer. You gather all your Friends, grab some cheap booze, sit through it, and in the end no one is laughing. Youre Just sad and feel horrible, knowing youve wasted an hour or more of your Lifetime.

I guess you really expected me to write a review for this, its Made by the Asylum, thats all you need to know.

Btw i still think the Asylum is some Kind of Money laundering sheme by the Mafia or the Kartells or Something. Theres not enough confused grannies, that accidentally buy this sh** for their grandchildren, out of pure confusion, to make this company profitable. Theres No way. There Just Isnt.

We 7! Reviewers are probably half of the people in the whole world that have Seen this "movie". And to be blatantly honest, i didnt pay to See it...

Let me start my saying I love Asylum Films. I've always liked low budget sci-fi and Asylum has become my go to creator. This movie unfortunately doesn't deliver the quality I expect in low budget films. I know that sounds like an oxymoron!

The blonde seismologist REALLY bothered me. She was so condescending to her colleagues and spoke all of her lines in ALL CAPS. She was way over the top and had too much attitude.

I liked the premise of the movie but it was really boring. A lot of talking between the little bit of action in the movie. I will never abandon Asylum but I hope they step it up. They're few fans deserve better.

From the getgo you know its produce from asylum so when you see crappy cgi and incorrect uniform and settings you know its their trademark. Spoofing other movies and not be acurate. This is one of their bad ones, i know their all bad but some are more watcheable then others. This is not one of themi know their trademark is copying other movies and telling the same story wile changing one word in the original title and remain legal copyright wise but after all these years you think they would atleast improve their cgi or be a little more acurate like putting the right uniform on someone and having the right grade on them.

Rating Breakdown: Story - 0.25 :: Direction 0.50 :: Pacing - 0.25 :: Performances - 0.50 :: Entertaining - 0.50 :::: TOTAL - 2/10.

I've always had a soft spot for The Asylum's gleefully low-budget disasters, but DC Down (2023) manages to leap over their usual fence of mediocrity and nosedive into the pit of cinematic catastrophe. Geoff Meed, who serves as both writer and director, delivers a lifeless, tension-free story that squanders its promising premise-Washington, D. C., rocked by earthquakes and chaos-with dull characters and glacial pacing.

Eric Roberts and Sean Young headline the cast, but their performances feel as disengaged as the film itself. Roberts looks like he's daydreaming about his paycheck, while Young seems caught in a battle between boredom and disdain. The rest of the cast fares even worse, delivering performances that redefine "phoning it in."

The action sequences, ostensibly the highlight of a disaster thriller, are as thrilling as watching grass grow. Meed's direction, complete with overused shaky cam, turns every moment of supposed peril into a headache-inducing snooze fest. The film utterly lacks suspense, excitement, or even the campy charm The Asylum usually brings to its projects.

If you're a fan of the "so bad it's good" genre, lower your expectations-DC Down isn't just bad; it's exhausting. Save yourself the time and let this disaster of a disaster movie fade into obscurity.

OK I've seen better, but its definitely not the worst movie I've ever watched, I feel some of the reviewers were a to quick to condemn this movie from their ivory towers, the movie was free to watch, the app was free to download, compared to a lot of the free apps the ad breaks weren't overly long. It's a budget company and it cost you not a penny.

Great, easy going, not so much dialogue, plenty of action, the story line was easy to follow, with some I interesting twists as it played out. Some nice eye candy, not many well known faces in the cast, but there is chance that some of the cast will be seen and will become more recognised by other tv shows and movie makers Will definitely be putting this in my saved folder.
