ccladue-968-316401 I haven't the slightest clue as to why people infer this movie has anything to do with superheroes. It certainly does not, not even in the slightest context, other than perhaps someone saying the word "superhero" and someone mentioning something about Aquaman. (I suppose that saying "zombie" in a movie that has nothing to do with zombies makes it a zombie movie?)There are no superheroes of any kind, only exploding people, and well, also a person that sort of accidentally teleports their arm and then dies, which also counts as an explosion in a way, or at least an "explosion" of blood.The actors aren't really acting so much as just saying their lines, and the movie actually looks as if it doesn't have a director, which creates a sort of curious effect throughout. It is more interesting, to an extent, than a lot of other movies at this level of budget and competence. Ironically, the most obnoxious character (who makes the movie almost unwatchable) is also the one with the only memorable lines.What happens in this movie: One, people standing around arguing about whether or not to take a pill. Two, people standing around discussing what sort of effect the pill might have on them. Three, people exploding and leaving parts of themselves in the air, on the floor, or on the wall.And there you have it.
sigynnez I don't usually do review on the site, specially because Spanish is my mother language and my English is... weird, sometimes. But this film worth a few words I will be a bit technical now: Performance 7.5 / 10 9/10 Effects Screenplay 8/10 Final 9/10 The issue in question is slow, and a warning moderately. I have to say I liked most of all the effects and the idea of the script Although the performances only "Nikki" was credible, and the "Giggles" is an irreverent annoying dude with the accent that I found odious, did pretty good. The story, the main idea is what matters despite the slow development: What if ordinary people obtain super powers? Who does not dream of having a superpower? The result is a series of events contrary to Hollywood movies with marvelians shades to what people are used to, and it reminded me of that classic of the 2001 Creature Feature called "Earth vs.The Spider" I think it's worth seeing, but not to see like the typical superhero movie but as a mental exercise. As a final note, a fairly high note (in my opinion) to recommend. It is not for any audience. 8.5 / 10 I have. give it that +5 because of the end... I loved the end Greetings from Uruguay And you must see the post-credits, it worth to take a look
hil-40418 The Subjects has a good plot line, filled with humour as well as interesting concepts and drama. Although the movie is clearly not produced by a company with heaps of money, the film still offers viewers an intriguing take on superpowers in an exciting manner. The actors in the movie engaged me, and made me believe what the movie was about; which after all is the role of a good actor. Particularly I think Charlotte Nicdao was a highlight, as she makes her character easy to identify with. Particularly considering the hipster-crowd which generally populate the indie films. Overall I think the movie was a great example of films created by indie film makers, and should be seen by all :)
zzpeter This is one of the best independent movies I've seen a long time. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it is fast paced and keeps you totally absorbed. While this is a thriller, it is also really funny. It's funny seeing other comments about 'studio reviews' because what makes this movie so awesome is it is clearly not a studio movie!It is an original concept that questions many of the sci-fi conventions that we are used to seeing with fresh cast who play off each other well. The cast have the right amount of tension during the beginning of the movie (they are a random selection of people for a medical trial) leading to great chemistry later in the film as the plot progresses.What is so impressive about the script is the way it questions common movie tropes while also providing an awesome set of twists and turns during the frenetic second half. Commenting on effects really misses the point here! This is really awesome stuff - the type of creativity that usually only occurs in independent film where they can't rely on effects to make up for story. This movie deserves a cult following and is highly recommended!! 9/10
