Load of rubbish!!
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
This film could have been so much more and showed some promise but ultimately didn't deliver when it counted.I liked the dirty gritty feel the film tried to deliver but it wasn't consistent flicking between dark and gritty to neon and colourful.The thing that let the film down for me, other than the cheesy 90's flashbacks, was the appalling acting. It was the acting and choise of cast that really told me that this was a budget/student film. Nobody was believable or convincing in the roles they played. I'd have to question why this was committed to DVD format rather than just being left online for people to watch for a bet or dare. I only awarded this film 3/10 because it was marginally better than the other film I watched earlier which only got 2 stars.
Absolutely loved this film for most everything in it. The story was great from beginning to end, loved the fact things kept going back and forth and couldn't figure out where it was going to go next. A mix of SAW, KICK ASS, and more this film definitely is going to be a cult classic. The way the plot kept thickening and flowing from scene to scene keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat as an audience member. The costuming, film style, and dark gritty environments make this a must see for comic book fans, superhero fans, and action loving fans. The acting was well done as well as the Directing for catching just the right emotions through costumes on actors, and just the right amount movement from each character in their surroundings. The film lets you get to know each one, what they will be useful for, and if their super powers can help or will be there in the end.Thank You Jason Trost for your awesome films and stories! Keep making films, and cannot wait to one day team up with you to make a feature.
Before judging this film too harshly, remember it was made on a tiny budget and in a handful of days. It's basically a glorified student film, and if I were marking it, I'd give it an A. It's an interesting concept and the acting, while mediocre, shows promise, especially that of Jason Trost and Sophie Merkley. There's an awesome scene where the bitchy journalist guy from "Never Been Kissed" is dressed up as Uncle Sam and is armed with a flamethrower. It's worth a watch if only for that scene. James Remar is pretty good I guess, although it's hard to tell when he's basically a cackling, moustache-twirling level of villain. But in any case, this movie is a solid effort from writer/director Jason Trost. I'm looking forward to seeing what he offers to the genre world in coming years.
This is one of those movies that needed a bigger budget. Although that wouldn't have helped much either. The story is bland and there is almost no creative ideas in this movie. The fact that the characters in this movie is suppose to be superheroes is almost irrelevant to the plot. The movie "Alter Egos" executed the superheroes genre well. "Alter Egos" didn't rely on gimmicks but a clever and somewhat original script. And even if it's a superhero movie that didn't show much superpowers the story and direction of it all carried the movie. And the interactions amongst the characters. This one on the other hand just relies on gimmicks and fails on every level. The story doesn't make much sense and a lot of things are unexplained and very underdeveloped in a negative manner. The movie has that main character dude from "The FP" which was a alright movie and it's directed from the same director of "The FP". This one on the other hand is a complete disappointment and lacked the creativity and some clever moments that "The FP" had. Lucas Till is also in this but he doesn't really stand out. He should just stick with the superhero role in the "X-Men" movies. The premise is bland with the characters not being likable or developed enough. It's basically another Jigsaw like villain playing games with these so called superheroes. Except Jigsaw is more of a likable villain for someone that is a villain or can be a anti-hero to some. James Remar is alright but he plays a very detestable and despicable villain. If they were going in a direction where they wanted the villain disliked and unclear, they did a fine job on that area. Overall this is a awful superheroes movie that isn't even a superheroes movie. They lacked the budget which is fine in some cases but if they didn't have a good enough idea they shouldn't have even tried.1/10
