This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Highly Overrated But Still Good
I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
If you are looking for a general viewing purpose then yes it is a bad movie..but if you are viewing this movie as a science fiction movie then you might enjoy it a little.a typical sci-fi movie under low budget made it little less than enjoyable for some. It is not that type of movies that keeps you thinking after the movie finishes, but it could feed the fear in some who watch this movie. I find the core story amazing and Julian Richings was good in this movie (his role enhanced the viewing of this movie). It needs lot of execution improvements but the core story is amazing and freaky! (this movie could be also under horror movies). If you are a sci-fi fan then you might like to give it a chance.My rating is 2/10 (2 means it is good for watching once)
A unique and interestingly different approach to the crashed alien space craft/alien contact genre. A take I've never seen before (and I've watched a LOT of these films) which makes it a must-see for any fan. However as it is, it would have been better as an hour long short. That really is it's main problem--not enough story to fill out a feature length film; otherwise it was a very worthwhile effort.The story was stretched too thin for a feature, but it has its strengths as well; the acting was very good and it did manage to maintain tension despite the relatively slow pace. While it did use a bit of the "found footage" technique, it didn't over do it and how they used it made sense. Plus for those who hate FF, there is only a little (a reasonable amount of) camera shake (I hate that too). The story overall held together, but I was puzzled by why the interrogation was instantly hostile. It would have helped if there had been some kind of indication given--more background shown regarding the person in charge and her over-board hostility, and the explanation would have helped fill out the story. A missed opportunity for real story telling, it comes off as the bones of an idea rather than a full-fleshed film.Still much better than many of the films of the genre and much better than the 3 rating on the IMDb page. I don't get it; there are far worse films with much higher ratings. Go figure. I was almost tempted to give it a higher rating than I did just to make up for it.
Julian Richings is one of the few positive things about this flick, I literally kept falling asleep but tried to stay up hoping for some plot twist to make it more interesting .It's a low budget movie but instead of making up the lack of funds with creativity 2 things are particularly annoying, the soundtrack at times is so loud it's almost impossible to hear the dialog, the "blair witch" camera work is annoying , please directors all over the world take note, that crap is stupid please stop using it !!!! There are more negatives about this movie but not as annoying as the 2 above, the story is so predictable and save Julian Richings the acting is very very poor feels more like a high school students project than a real movie, maybe that's what it was in which case they did a great job . There is one interesting idea in this story and that is the aliens controlling the subjects.. anyway, again a movie that could have been easily made into a captivating with an interesting plot but the writers decided to stick with a "been there done that" story..
I decided to watch this film besides the low score. That was my first mistake. It was immediately evident how bad it was going to be but I kept watching with the hope the it will improve later. That was my second mistake. And surely enough I was rewarded with one of the worst endings in the history of cinema.I am trying to find a redeeming feature for this film. Perhaps Julian Richings's acting was sometimes bearable but I am not sure if it was because of effort or sheer astonishment at the stupidity of the script. Everybody else's acting was as bad as bad acting can get. They almost seemed they were doing this in a foreign language they didn't understand and then dubbed badly into some kind of English.The storyline was mediocre and predictable. Huge holes in the plot and unexplained behaviour from absolutely everyone made this film quite cringe-worthy. The Blair-Witch-eqsue delivery was laughable and the video selfies *with* light while hiding from monsters in a dark forest were just bizarre.I don't have this feeling often but after watching this awful, awful flick, I just want back the 77 minutes I wasted on it.Move on people, nothing to see here...
