Based on audience feedback and a scattering of reviews, ‘Asteroid’ presents a quirky, albeit underwhelming cinematic experience. It attempts a unique blend of comedy and apocalyptic drama but struggles with execution, often leaving viewers expecting more substance or at least an actual asteroid. The acting and storyline receive mixed reviews, suggesting that while the film has its moments, it may not satisfy those looking for a traditional apocalyptic thrill.
