lowbrassdude-5-81651 Never have I ever been so angry while watching a movie and yet so incredibly tired. I don't think I've yawned this much since watching Red Zone Cuba. I should probably preface this by saying I'm a huge fan of the original novel this film is based off of, a 1000 page epic that combines the setting of Planet of the Apes with the storytelling of I am Legend. It's a good book and I highly recommend reading or listening to it. But even after all that I was not prepared for the sheer level of awful that this movie was. Every actor is miscast, every set and costume look too fake, the cinematography literally makes this film almost impossible to watch, the music is unmemorable, every shot is bathed in hideous garish color filters, and the plot holes....oh god the plot holes. Not only are there thousands of things that don't make sense from just watching the movie on it's own, but after reading the book I saw that they deliberately went the extra mile to not make sense! The acting and dialog are the stuff of legends, some times the actors forget to react, or start laughing or howling out of nowhere. And this film might have the cheapest and lamest special effects I've seen that wasn't part of the Syfy channel. And even after all of that I was still so very tired and bored watching this, that's a special brand of bad film making right there. If you can make it through this two hour monstrosity, you have my respect.
ajricks 2.4 seemed a bit harsh for a rating but it just was bad writing all over. It might have been sub-par there but was pretty funny in some parts. Stoopid humans. At least the actors owned their roles and the effects were decent.
sim-pl I'm quite astonished that this film is considered the worst one in the history of humanity by many. Certainly it wasn't a masterpiece, however it was quite entertaining and the background of a plot (picture of Earth conquered by an aggressive superior race) seemed quite interesting for me. I was not bored while watching it. There are many other films, that were praised and that deserve more such fierce criticism than this one.
OneEightNine Media ScreenJunkies threw this movie out there as one of the worst films ever made.. umm, maybe they're wrong? I mean, I am in no way a fan. In fact, I can easily tell you it has a spot on my top 20 worst films of all-time list. I am the type of person who roots for the underdog, so for the first one third of the film I was just thinking up minor things that could have helped make this a better film, and there were quite a few. But once the movie reached the halfway mark, I was zoning out. I can't even tell you the stupid plot devices the script had to come up with, all I remember is everything turning blue and then I started scrolling my phone. So yeah, the hype is real in that this movie is bad. These stupid aliens were so human acting, I can not understand why they didn't just make them human. It was a corny and goofy but ultimately nowhere near entertaining. Not much redeemable here.
