This is an epic film from Wicked and brad Armstrong that will capture your attention right from the start. It is crammed full with action, drama, wonder and steamy sex. It is a complete all around film that has a great story deftly told and performed, plot, sets, special effects, music and all you could want from an adult film of magnanimous proportions.
The story revolves around a group of astronomers who discover a asteroid the size of the state of Arizona called Vesta. Falling out of it’s orbit it is hurdling towards earth with the impact to happen on Dec. 21, 2012. Scientists say this asteroid when it crashes will have the impact of a 15.2 earthquake and human life will end as we have known it. Watching this film unfold and the spot on performances by much of the cast, you almost get the feeling you are watching a mainstream studio movie. The story line and the studies of people and how they react to this pending disaster is extremely well done.
As the film opens jessica is with a pickup friend having a slam bang time when she gets a call. It’s about the asteroid so she leaves the friend and heads to the lab and that sets the tone for the storyline. A meeting with an Army General (Randy Spears) about this impending disaster, a a leak to a news anchor (Jack Lawrence) and the President ( Tyler Knight) finding out begin to bring the story into even more focus. A group of young people riding in the desert hear the news on the car radio, but at first don’t seem fazed by it. So the four (Alektra Blue, Derrick Pierce, Kaylani Lei, Xander Corvus pull into a motel for a break and some steamy, all out sex. There is the address to the nation by the President over this asteroid situation while a solution to destroy it seems impossible.
Being a porn film, the storyline allows for the President’s secretary (Misty Stone) in to engage in a sexual romp and for jessica and a fellow scientist (Rocco Reed) to get their jollies off. After all, with what is about to happen this could be the last sexual pleasures anyone will have! Of course there are more sex scenes to cum as people begin to wonder about life on planet earth ending for them. As the impending doom gets closer there is a nice little addition to the story concerning Brad Armstrong a guy trying to stay sober and the bartender who befriends him.
This film minus the sexual content could stand on it’s own. It is well conceived, directed and paced. There are some nom worthy performances by several in the cast of this five star production. Tyler Knight and Frank Bukkwyd as the bartender, in non sex roles were very solid. The casting, lighting setting the mood and special effects all lend to the dramatic theme of the film. This is a film that will be a heavy award nom this year and one that definitely belongs on your “must” list! —Art Koch, National Features & DVD Editor, NightMoves Magazine and AAN
