tabright37 The usual fodder coming from Hollywood characters in movies these days.You have the "normal" atheist/agnostic people and the evil, schizophrenic religious one. The only thing that slightly redeems this film is the interesting twist on how the human race will stay in existence. Of course, this is based on anything and everything but God. Nothing new there either. I enjoyed the first part of the movie, but once the only female on board died it went straight downhill from there.Apparently, the person writing the script for the religious nut isn't very familiar with the Bible or they really believe Cain's wife was one of his sisters.However, if you like watching movies about a woman being treated as either prize or piece of meat you'll enjoy this movie more than I did.
silent_bren77 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 The acting was OK from the female lead, but the other 2 could've been replaced by horrible soap actors, but that's probably because the writing was absolutely terrible.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.
Carlos Idelone Other reviewers seem quite confused, seeing this as an advertisement for Christianity. The only Christian in the film is mentally deranged. Not a good advertisement, I'd say. This film is a romantic fairy tale. I found the romance quite powerful, due to the amazing reason for it's existence. I can see, that the film may seem threatening to men, who are homophobic, or religiously dogmatic. I thought, that the acting was fine. The setting/special effects were adequate, as they aren't really the focus of the film. The only part, which I found unfortunate was the ending, which was somewhat incomprehensible, but this only lasted for a minute or two of the running time. I appreciated the nudity/sexuality, as it was realistic and not gratuitous. This is an adult film with very interesting ideas.
Fitz 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.
