The Worst Film Ever
The Age of Commercialism
best movie i've ever seen.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
This is honestly the biggest load of rubbish I have ever watched. Its not even worth watching as one of those movies you put on just to fall asleep to.First of all the set design for a this "spaceship" looks like it was done by a 5 year old and the special effects would only have been considered good in the 1980's.The script writing is atrocious and the acting is equally as bad. I've seen better films come from high school students art projects.The writers, director and actors from this film should all be put on a raft and sent out into the ocean to hopefully never be heard from or seen again.
I'll try and limit and/or be vague in the details to not spoil too much. What looked to be a decent premise for a Sci-Fi film at the start quickly turned bizarre and disturbing. The disturbing thing wasn't the "transformation" one of the crew underwent, but the reaction of the 2 other crew members. One gets a messiah complex while the other drifts in & out of madness, both of them almost instantly fall in love, in their own warped ways, with their transformed crew member. This is what basically carries the entire movie as mankind looks to be all but extinct (which would've been a far more interesting part of the story to follow). The only reason I gave it a 2nd star was the only redeeming quality of the movie...the last 30 seconds where we finally realize the on board Computer AI's, Red, part in the whole story aside from being a homicide threatening asshole. Still, aside from getting the gist of what happened in the end, there is absolutely NO foreshadowing that this crazy twist is coming. Furthermore, the ending "X-factor," if you will would've made a FAR better movie had it been woven into the story at some point instead of the "Oooooooo...CREDITS." The acting was OK from the female lead, but the other 2 could've been replaced by horrible soap actors, but that's probably because the writing was absolutely terrible. The rape was certainly hard to stomach. The only redeeming quality was plausible scientific reason a transformation could have occurred based on other animal life. I just go back to my original statement. The launching premise was a great idea and had tons of potential for something original. However, terrible writing and mediocre acting drove this piece of $h*t straight down the toilet. However, I'd like the writer to give me the agents number who sold this script. Because I want to know exactly who I have to sleep with to get 100 pages of fecal matter green-lit for production.
Not just rubbish, offensive, insulting rubbish. It's difficult to give a single reason why this... product is so bad. Calling it a movie would be a disservice to the film industry.The acting, which is painfully flat & wooden, is perhaps the least awful aspect of 'Paradox Alice'. While the set, effects, lighting & shot composition are bad they aren't as woefully poor as the script, or the director's incompetence.However it's not the sloppy direction, bad acting, banal plot, truly mindless dialogue & apparent lack of any available stage technicians which really lets it down; Should you make the error of watching this monstrosity the script is probably one of the worst you'll ever have the misfortune to encounter.This production is essentially an incredibly clumsy recruitment advertisement for Christianity, the sole message it delivers seems to be: "It's acceptable to rape a woman if the voice in your head tells you to." Truly vile.Be warned & steer clear.
I gave this movie a go cause I had heard about it from a friend. It's clear from the first couple images that this is a low budget movie. That being said, it was really well done and left me wanting more. I won't lie there is some very tough subject matter stuff going on here. And I admire the film makers for taking such a chance. It's more of a character piece than action porn science fiction. The movie's themes and concepts have stuck with me for days now. It's that cool and original. The acting was decent. The cinematography was nice. The space effects were not on a production level you would see in GRAVITY or PROMETHEUS (hence a low budget movie) but they worked. I recommend for those wanting smart and philosophical science fiction. Not as good as something you would see a major studio release but hands down better than anything original I've seen on the SyFy Channel.
