Earthfall (2015 TV Movie)
2/10
It was a mighty struggle but the cast lost.

It was a mighty struggle by the actors against an awful script, but in the end the script, unfortunately, won.

The cast included all the cliched characters -- the dofuss boyfriends, the dumb blond, the slightly less dumb blond, the smart, the bossy professional woman, the handyman, the evil back woods, gun toting hicks, and lots of military with very few lines. All the female actors get their chance to demonstrate their emotional range in some scene where they get hysterical, scream, and cry.

The main character is a writer, no doubt the alter-ego for whoever wrote the script. A shame, since the script is what made this movie tedious and dumb. Could have really used some technical assistance from somebody who knew some physics.

Photography and special effects were adequate to not be a distraction from the plot, had there been a good plot.

I hate it when everybody does their job except one. This cast and crew could have made something watchable. I suppose it is possible that they had a better script going in and lost the best parts due to budget or in the cutting room, but it seems unlikely.
