unbrokenmetal "Encrypt" reminded me of "Resident Evil" without the zombies. A team of specialists led by a former major enters a building full of deadly traps, and a computer appears in the shape of a female person to talk to them - preparing death for them all, maybe. Anyhow, the character development is interesting in so far as Vivian Wu (playing the hologram) gets the opportunity to begin a relationship with the major, and being damned to immortality, she has a tragic edge. In a beautiful scene, the mercenaries discover a painting of her and realize how obsessed the hologram creator must have been with her when she was still alive. The whole post-apocalyptic scenery is nothing new, the hundreds of shot-shells used is what you expect for the genre, so in the end it's nothing unusual, but OK for the TV budget.

mshambli This isn't a bad movie, as much as it is a bland movie.The plot has much more to do with human "melodrama" than it does with any particular science fiction element. The story could be told in the middle ages as much as in the future.It is watchable, and there are some fairly attractive images. I'd watch it again, but mostly only if something better wasn't on. I gave it a 7 but it's probably only a 5 or so.

Orson-17 A user comment by Roger Tay states: "How on earth does dreck written as badly as this actually get made?" Well Roger, let me explain.This was an original script and I happen to know the screenwriter on this project, (God I love living in L.A.). I read the script way before it was produced. This is not what was written. Producers, and there are many on a project, try to dance around each other making changes to justify their existence.When enough changes are made, the producers bring in another writer who knows nothing of the original intent of the writer and tries not only to make the lame changes the producers want, but will do his/her best to change at least 51% of the script in order to share a full "screenplay by" credit on the project. And that's how this was re-written. So, to answer your question.... you take a bunch of 30 year olds who know how to dress but know nothing about story telling and give them a decent script to destroy.

dtype I'm a big fan of camp, but when every plot 'twist' is predictable and bad, while obviously not trying to be, even I lose interest. I was going to rate this a 3, but the ending dropped it a point easily. Its only saving grace is that I hated other movies more. Not enough beer in the world for this one.
