This is going to be the best movie of the summer.

Yes indeed.

Eat your heart out Michael Bay!

Still looks better than anything on Sci Fi.

EPIC!!! no wait......

Was that... Kevin Conroy doing the narration voiceover at the end (starting around 56 seconds in)?
As in, Kevin Conroy the voice of Batman from "Batman: The Animated Series" and "Justice League"?

Whoa. Transformers 2 has competition!

Who would be dumb enough to see these movies thinking it will be a good watch? I'd probably watch it for a laugh.

The only difference is that Michael Bay has a budget. That same crap dialogue was in TF2 trailer and nobody said shit.

can't agree more, at least this one would have lots of campy fun instead of that shitty self-respect blockbuster

That actually looks pretty good, will watch eventually.

Bruce Boxleitner gotta eat. But that don't mean he should do this crap.

That said, the difference in the two films is money and licensing. One has it. One don't.

I saw Sunday School Musical on the dvd shelf at a used dvd store. I thought it was a joke at first but this just confirms that it isn't.
and Snakes on a Train?? Why don't I have a copy of that

Man, how do they keep getting funding to make these things?!

This seriously needs to stop.

Wait a second! I object sir!!
There seems to be no continuity between this movie and Asylum's original masterpiece.
hmmm...I'm not sure anymore...

Best voiceover guy ever. That is all.

YESSSSS!!!!

Had a friend who worked on Snakes on a Train. A poster of a snake swallowing a train was presented to some Japanese investors who then agreed to put up the money. After shooting was complete the investors found out that there wasn't actually a snake swallowing a train in the movie. Asylum reworked it last minute and added the scene to the movie, just to making the investors happy. Unfortunately the scene doesnt make the movie any more watchable.

This looks like a mix between Terminator Salvation and Transformers.

Such an emotional thrill ride this promises to be!

Not sure how these make money, maybe they're so bad they're good? Probably not.

My Mother accidentally rented their War of the Worlds knock-off via Blockbuster Online (so i can't really blame her since all she had to go by was the thumbnail picture) and actually managed to sit through 30 minutes of the film before realizing she had gotten duped.

Anyways, the only people who buy this are people who get tricked or people who like these kinds of films.

I used to work at a Hollywood video and we would get every single one of these movies. You have no idea how dumb the market is and just how right a lot of studios are until you work the frontlines like that.

"Oh man, you guys have snakes on a train? I just saw Snakes on a Plane and it was SICK! I'm gonna rent this!"

"Uh, sir. Just to warn you that's a direct to video knock off movie. It's probably not that great."

"Yeah, but it's got snakes eating people and this chick is wicked hot. I'll get this, and You, Me and Dupree."

It's easy to forget when you're an avid film buff, but there is an enormous portion of the market who don't give a good goddamn about anything resembling substance in their movies. These are the people who dislike Almost Famous and High Fidelity in favor of White Chicks and The Money Pit. And when these people run out of A list crap to watch, they move onward to the B list knock offs because that's easier than renting something that might challenge them intellectually. So, loathe as I am to admit it, when an exec forces a shorter skirt out of an actress or adds a pointless happy ending to some awesome directors big blockbuster, there is a very sound monetary reason. Unfortunately the best art rarely makes good money.

That was interesting, well-said ... and really depressing.

HEY! Don't you DARE lump The Money Pit with White Chicks. I'd take classic Tom Hanks comedies over lame Shia/robot boring crap any day of the week (convenient, because I think the Money Pit is on TNT every day of the week).

I'm totally with you... but you just rocked Almost Famous and High Fidelity as your two masterpieces? ummm... they were good flicks, but... you know... Don't use a Dunkin Donut to make fun of a twinky.

"Don't use a Dunkin Donut to make fun of a twinky." Never Heard that before, it's brilliant. MUST USE

Huge stars, major blockbuster potential this will be a must see.

hahaha. shane van dyke. and. bruce boxleitner

Crappy direct-to-DVD science fiction movie? Sci Fi ("Syfy") Channel here we come...

I own AVH on dvd. Only because Blockbuster never asked for it back.

I love these so much...

it came with a 'never to be returned' sticker on it.

The effects actually weren't half bad. For serious.

If they weren't trying so hard to be a complete knockoff, they could actually do something legitimate with that shit.

Those shots in the trailer were probably among the only effects in the entire movie

the effects weren't half bad? are you monkeyfighting serious? it looks like a film school alnighter... That trailer looks like a saturday night live sketch. I actually think they're playing it for laughs...

That was just down right bad.

If it has a sequel, then the first one must have been good...

I LOVE The Asylum! I'm looking forward to this about a hundred times more than I am Transformers

who in their right might actually rents this s**t?!?! Seriously???

Did the transmorphers send me a fax in the middle of that trailer? EEE AHHH!

at blockbuster when ever someone would come to the counter with transmorphers in their hand, i would just smile and let them rent this failed abortion of a movie. i found it amazing how many people were oblivious enough to think it was transformers.

Dude, they release Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus. I've seen it. It's so beyond awful. Makes Ice Spiders or Mansquito seem like Shakespeare.

They also release the 18 Year Old Virgin. Yeah, it's real.

These guys are notorious for making trash d movies ripping off major studio blockbusters, but with no budget, terrible effects, and the cheapest casts imaginable. So bad, yes so good.

Anything by Asylum rocks! The SciFi (or SyFy) channel would be lost without them. God bless Asylum, because the background noise was perfect for cramming for finals.

Looks like there's actually only ONE "Transmorpher" in the whole movie

I honestly think this company could do something good, they seem to have the budget, instead of triking people into seeing the films (thinking they are the real thing) they should make something original, they seem to have the effects budgets.
They could even do a spoof (although I hate spoof movies) I could end up more popular.

I found an amazing article on there website:
"Every couple of months we receive an email that includes some variation of the following:

“Give me back the two hours of my life I wasted watching your movie.”

We don’t mind negative feedback (it’s practically the only kind we get), but this one just bugs me.

For one thing, it’s not clever and it’s not original. In fact, dare I say it… it’s sort of a mockbuster of cinematic criticism. Second, our movies are rarely longer than 90 minutes (they just feel like they’re two hours). And frankly, they don’t usually get any better after the first 15. If you hate the movie and still end up watching the whole thing, I’m sorry… but that’s on you.

So, please don’t ask for refunds of time anymore. Just tell us what you really think, like Jeff, who wrote:

“I hate you please die in a fire”

Now that’s original"

They are now doing ornigal films for the sci-fi chanel, if that really a step up.
Yes I am bored enough to google these people.

"will watch eventually"?

So you're the one!!!!!!!!!!?

love the old modem sound. Transmorphers the height of technology

That's what Transformers would have looked like if Uwe Bol made it in the late 90's (with an actual budget).

They are now doing original films for the sci-fi chanel, if that really a step up.

Be kind rewind anyone, think about it at group of people remaking popular films for DVD on low budget.
They should make a documentary of there company it would sell more than the films themselves.
