Very disappointed :(
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Crappy film
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
View MoreThere are some spoilers. When I first saw this movie, I caught my eyes on the unique material called OMR card. One omr card has one life. The owner of these cards tries to throw all the cards away and destroy all mankind. I enjoyed watching this movie interesting with regard to the link between the OMR card and the human life.

View MoreA dark funny look at a big corporation that is run by evil twins. Not something you want to watch to lift your spirits, but it is a movies that will make you laugh. It takes a dark view of what people will do to make a buck and how they don't care what it costs the world around them until something brings it home personally to them. Though it makes you laugh, it also sends a message to us to think a little more about what we do that impacts the world around us and think about if the almighty $ is really worth the other costs. I won't say I loved this movie, but I did find it entertaining and I think the actors did a great job.
View MoreBrilliant idea for a film - but unfortunately the worst possible execution. Badly acted the cast can't catch your attention or raise any compassion for their fate. While the story starts somewhat mysterious and you are guided into an expectation that some humour may follow, the plot turns totally stale and - which I consider worse - completely foreseeable after about 15'. The ending makes no sense at all and leaves you in the chair with that feeling "What the heck? That's it?" A great frustration and the feeling of having been duped, of having lost valuable life-time that could have been much better used to watch a real movie. An extreme disappointment!
View MoreHard to review without, so - Spoilers -Paulino Nunes did a great job as Mr. Godfrey, he was creepy and weird, Anna Ferguson as Esther was exceptionally weird, especially when she somehow became a martial arts expert mid way through, that was rather disjointed, but in keeping with the allusion that the "Twins" are some kind of demonic duo.The overall concept of the movie was rather good hard Sci-Fi. One index card for each person on earth and by changing the status on the index card, you change the actual status of its associated human. They stayed committed to this, till the end.Side note. 7.5 Billion humans, works out to roughly 9100 Pallets loads of about 1.8 metric Tonnes of index cards each. If stacked 3 pallets high, you'd need a warehouse of at least 4,000 Square Metres, I think their warehouse is a little undersized.The other acting/scripting was rather lacklustre, in my opinion.Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as Mort, was a very likable character, until he became a zombie, then there was little acting required of him. He became the comic relief, to some extent, and it was mostly toilet humour, not really in fitting with the tone of the rest of the movie. The other employees of Godfrey Global were each stereotypes to one degree or another, the compulsive suck up, the nerdy office girl with a troubled home life, the seemingly worldly wise secretary with a bit of a reputation for entertaining in the broom closet. Each of their characters changed somewhat mid way through, after they realised the truly Global scale of their bosses machinations. The character changes were mostly for the better, they all became much more likable for it, and gave the viewer a bit more to invest in them. The ending was in keeping with the bleak tone of the film, with just a glimmer of hope in the blank index cards acquired by Janet. The lack of explanation of anything really, was rather annoying, a little exposition might have been a bit of a gift to the viewer, but we were sadly deprived. Overall, good concept, some good acting, mediocre special effects, disjointed character development. 4/10
