Excellent, a Must See
Absolutely Fantastic
All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
View MoreA terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
View MoreThis movie is only 3 stars for me because it has tried something new and other than that it is just a waste of time, so I am giving 3 stars only for trying something new..There are many mistakes in this movie which I will not even go into details, especially logic mistakes.Dennis Iliadis has tried something different but hasn't been able to deliver something satisfactory..This movie made me curious at the beginning as it promised some space action with some good looking girls and a mystery around all but as the movie went on I became more and more disappointed...
View MoreOn paper—or in text form on a computer screen—"+1" is interesting and is immediately promising all kinds of potential for a strange and potentially terrifying odyssey. While it was decent, it didn't quite pan out and hit the expectations I had for the film.While the foundation for the story is interesting as a concept, the story itself is pretty sloppy and lacks a lot of development that it sorely needed. Characters lack any real defining characteristics and aren't developed as strongly as they need to be. Additionally, the story itself can't quite decide who to focus on or how to unfold at a pace that doesn't feel like it is needlessly panning itself out or like it is lost with no real clue on where to travel next. These matters aren't helped by some pretty subpar acting and special effects that are just barely passable.However, even with its problems, the concept of "+1" is pretty cool and when the story actually has all of its stuff in order and in pretty little rows, it plays out nicely and took me on a strange mind-trip and left me pondering the events that I witnessed as the credits rolled.As it stands, "+1" feels like an adaptation of the first draft to the film's script and it makes the film pretty average but also pretty watchable. There's no point in denying that I thought it could have been a lot better but, with the nature of its story, it could have easily been a lot worse.Salutations, fellow IMDb-er! My name is Rev. Ron and if you feel like reading more of my rants, ramblings, bad jokes, geek references, and other movie reviews (like a more in-depth look at "+1" and other movies that completely failed or completely succeeded in their potential) you can visit my blog at revronmovies.blogspot.com.

View MorePlus One is built around a simple concept (spoiler): people get duplicated after a small meteorite hits earth. As usual there is no explanation or background. The writers have a lot of difficulty finding some use for the concept. The only thing they could think of is for everyone to avoid their doppelganger as long as possible. There is also some thin bit about there being a time difference between the 2 groups and group 2 catching up to group 1 but in reality they're in the same time just a 100 feet away from them, ah it all doesn't make much sense coz the writers didn't put in the effort to develop it and make it work. Things all get a bit violent by the end but there are no real consequences to these actions. Everything seems so random and pointless. Better next time Dennis!
View MoreSetting: upper end high school, privileged teenagers, little supervision, too many resources available, huge expensive party for these wastrels.A meteor comes from space and lands somewhere nearby. It gets into the electrical system.After some analysis, it starts duplicating people. At first no one notices. Then there are some odd situations where a person sees another person and their duplicate. For a horrid interval, there were a dozen or so simultaneous fights to the death. There are injuries and fatalities.Then there is re-integration when both copies still exist. A few feel great to be alive; many are still reeling from the horror with blood on their hands.------Scores------Cinematography: 8/10 Mostly OK, except for some of the low light scenes.Sound: 4/10 Unbelievably poor.Acting: 5/10 Not very convincing, except from the actors who looked like they were 25 to 30 years old.Screenplay: 7/10 Fairly good what-if movie.
