About This Movie

Asteroid (2021) is an interesting blend of action, comedy, and drama that somehow captures that weird, uneasy feeling when life doesn’t go as planned. The family-man protagonist is out of touch, a bit hapless, which makes it relatable—especially when he moves his family to a small town right ahead of an impending apocalypse. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but it adds to the overall surreal atmosphere of the film. There are some practical effects that stand out, giving it a grounded feel amidst the chaos. Performances are solid, especially in the family dynamics; you can see the strain and the humor interwoven. It’s distinctive in how it balances these genres, not quite landing as one or the other, but it makes you think about what really matters when everything goes sideways.
