ecanarensis Wow. The only good thing I can say about this movie is that I didn't pay anything to watch it. Just...wow. one of the great tragedies of all time is that Roger Ebert apparently didn't review it before he died; he could supply redemption to truly loathsome films with his slicing wit.I wish I could come up with something devastatingly witty to say about this movie, but words nearly fail me. It must've had a strong sponsorship from some kohl manufacturer; the actors & actresses all look as if someone passed out pairs of binoculars with the eyepieces heavily slathered with black paint.The acting is beyond bad, hitting new depths of atrociousness; wooden & ludicrous. Of course, the script is abominable so it's not as if they had anything to work with. It makes no sense. It cuts randomly from scene to scene, with no rhyme or reason.This is one of those movies that's so bad that not even the geniuses at MST3K could've made watching it worthwhile, even at their very best.To paraphrase Monty Python, this is not a movie for watching: this is a movie for laying down & avoiding.
jkhaldi I read the comic book prequel to this movie in the bottom of my comic con bag and found there was a movie so I checked it out. Its very low budget so this review takes that into consideration unlike some of the other reviews I've read here. The story is ambitious and compelling... but it moves slowly. If you go in expecting tons of action and sci-fi, you will not find it. If you go in wanting a story, interesting characters and hints of biblical references, then you'll get something out of it. The writer director Stewart St. John has something to say, and the movie has a strong political undercurrent especially given today's political unrest. You can clearly see where the film is hampered by budget constraints but there is still something there. Bailey Chase shines as the loyal brother Aiden. He is blindly devoted to his older brother played by Eric Scott Woods who I think is a bit miscast. The story revolves around an underground society that has built an entire underworld system where they live after humans created them and then tried to kill them. There is a political leader of the clones (that is basically what they are, clones) who now wants to kill the remaining humans who live up on Earth's surface, but he has a secret (spoiler) that makes him the way he is. The relationship between the brothers and their mother is what was interesting to me, but if you don't like drama with lots of words then you probably won't like this movie.
poustinik What else would you expect from Stewart St. John, whose career was made writing and editing kids' fare like "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" and "V.R. Troopers??" This film is aimed directly at the newly-adult audience who grew up thinking those shows were cool. If you were one of those, you will think this movie is cool, you will be revelling in the wooden, eyeliner-plastered actors (villains suitable indicated by underlighting), and you will be eagerly awaiting the next installment in The Creations Wars Saga, or The Chronicles Of Hollow Earth, or whatever Mr St. John is calling it this year. If you can't wait for it, I recommend watching "Skyline," which you will also love.
michael harrison I would give this film minus numbers if it were possible it sucks - sucks - sucks - it is a crime to waste valuable resources on this pile of pure unadulterated crap. The acting sucks , the story sucks , it is poorly written and the acting is even worse than the writing. I feel as I have been robbed of 97 minutes of my life and Mr. Stewart St John should be banned forever from the directors chair, from writing i noticed that he is on Facebook and that is where i am heading next. I am angry at myself for being optimistic I kept hoping it would get better but it just kept getting worse. The idea is actually pretty good but the execution just plane .....SUCKS!!! I give this a rating of minus 99
