beastboy-03509 This movie is a lifetime made for TV movie with a science fiction twist. I consider this a high setting post apocalyptic film. There is no real government, supplies are in easy access, and society still functions to some extent. If I could think of one thing that stands out in this film it is the lack of music. It gives the movie a very surreal quality. I have not seen many noir films. That could be a common quality in them. I keep thinking about that Scandanivian film maker who didn't use music. It is a nice touch. Another thing about this film is how much booty the main character gets. He gets laid at least three or four times. The way some of The scenes cut it looks like the director edited out the porn bits or did some B unit footage to mask them. Who knew a cybernetic brain would accomplish all That? This is what guys need to be irrestible to the ladies! I suspect this film may be way more bawdy in its original cut. Wonga wonga! Va va va vooommm.Another thing i thought was cool about this movie was how the director Dealt with the high tech, sci fi stuff. The actors talk about like it is second hand knowledge. That makes perfect sense because whenever i use a cell phone I do not talk through the history of the telephone. I just use it. That is the way the super sci fi stuff is handled. It was very organic and believable.The beach scenes reminded me of "The Goonies". One shot in particular looks like the same rock formation from that R. Donner film.I would give this movie a chance. It is a decent flick. I did not get the ending at all. Well, I have an idea of what happened. Once again it shows how well the tech in the film was handled. I think more sci fi films need to be done in this fashion. Minimalism is a really great thing. If Lifetime made more female drama movies in sci fi settings I would give them a watch. I hope you are reading this lifetime.
aldhibah The Good: The movie has a pretty good depiction of an AI enhanced soldier who is trying to find his place in life after the war. You can see the protagonist struggling with his dependence on his AI companion, hence the continuous removal of the device when it would probably be helpful. I thought it was comparable to the dependence of some soldiers when returning from war on PTSD medications. There was a strong similarity between the present and this hypothetical future which was both good and realistic. There are holograms Televisions and he rides around on what appears to be an electric motorcycle but otherwise it could be any west coast town today.The plot was fine, it was a basic film noir. This is very typical in science fiction novels, where the plot is there to provide a context in which to explore the interface between some new technology or idea and the present.The Bad: The pacing is a little off in the first third of the movie and then picks up by the halfway point. I thought the AI companion features should have been more thought out. It is hard to be able to see how this tech would have been useful on the battlefield unless it is hampered by the lack of signals intelligence. I imagine something like this would be good for integrating drone feeds and C3.The voodoo angle wasn't fully explored and should have been fleshed out better. There are a couple of references to breaching the mind/spirit barrier and its use as a weapon but an additional 30 seconds of dialog on that would have helped.
buttyfrench If you like the dark side of SciFi, this film is for you! Set in 4029, replicant cyborg, Lloyd "Teriyaki" Pondue, is on the trial of a gang of intergalactic drug runners that are selling wasbah to the aliens and terrestrials of the Milky Way. One of the actors, in real life, is a close friend of Katherine Zeta Johnson. When Teriyaki finds Laudner, the gang leader, he will go to any lengths to bring them to justice. The special effects were spendacular and the sex scenes were hot and smelly! When the first spaceship lands, the fight for the planet is one of the best space stories that I have ever seen in 3D or 4D. It was virtual rality on steroids!Amid the laser blasts and nuclear explosions lies a movie of warm feeling and emotion superdity. Just strap yourself in and "Let the Force Be with YOU"!
zerocrew-56802 The other reviewers with starry reviews probably got a dog in the fight, cause even a lobotomized zombie on crack will stay away from this stench of a movie. Acting is so bad that it made me cringe.Wanna be director just need to go to film school - i don't even say "go back to film school" cause he obviously he never attended one or missed a lot of courses. I've seen wedding videos less cheesy than than.I can't even say that CG are bad, they're just middle of the road, looking like some template from After Effects found on the net - it's just they're badly composited/integrated. I've seen amateurs on youTube doing way better than that with DV footage processed on a laptop.But the worst, definitely is the acting part, or its lack of, once you passed the point where this "Sci-Fi" thing looks really that it got shot in rural Oregon last summer, missing all nice landscapes and scenery though. Adding a blue light to a barn doesn't make it look techy, film boys. You got a lot to learn in front of you. First and foremost would be how not to bore to death your unfortunate audience.
