This movie is awesome. It's not your usual "so bad it's good", The Asylum have found a way to achieve awesomeness without relying on that precise mechanism. It is related, but not exactly THAT.
First of all, the budget: people need to realise that an extremely low budget is a GOOD thing. Look at what the major studios do with their loads of money: polished, shiny turds. A ridiculously low budget will force you to get creative and that's a plus, not a minus.
Setting expectations so low allows the viewer to be pleasantly surprised by the somewhat subpar acting, which is way better than expected, so that ends up leaving a good impression at the end.
The movie never takes itself seriously, the "science" doesn't even try to sound realistic, the writers go out of their way to make it as absurd as possible and the result is hilarious.
All the characters are likeable and simple, as opposed to the sanctimonious specimens we are usually subjected to. The cast is as diverse as it needs to be, naturally, in the best possible way.
Reviewers who complain about the VFX and the production in general simply don't understand anything of what they just watched. Those who have discovered that this is a ripoff of that other similarly named franchise are just as clueless.
