Waste of time

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

A must watch for all budding filmmakers- this is a nano budget feature film which shows that you don't need a big budget multimillion dollar to create art.

"Senn" is a visually and intellectually immersive experience that explores not only what it means to be human, but how it feels to be human. The amazing attention to detail makes even those parts of the film which take place on a wasted, rusted out world, simply beautiful. Themes of environmentalism, corporate greed, and human rights are obvious and everywhere before our eyes in the first part of the movie, but "Senn" manages to avoid seeming preachy, nonetheless. These are all presented mainly as factors enclosing the characters in a space that is essentially beyond hope.The storytelling is especially deft as the film begins to pick up steam, embarking on a journey aboard an alien spacecraft, where the sentient beings who built it have, with care and conscientious regard for their guests, created a pleasantly sylvan Earth environment. Here the dreams and visions that the character Senn has been having are partially explained, and begin to seem full of possibility rather than merely compelling. The relationships between characters, also, are now given room to expand, although from an already tightly woven and believably complex base.Without giving away any more of the plot, it is easy to say that "Senn" was thought provoking and appealing on a level of intellectual self-exploration and self-examination. However, the film's true success is that, although as far from being an emotional tear jerker as it is possible to be, it quite insightfully asks, "How do you feel?" Senn is not a magical chosen one, but an everyday human who receives and develops an extraordinary destiny purely by coincidence. Any of us could do the same, perhaps. So, how does it feel to be human? And then, only then, what does that mean?

Senn is a majestically crafted film that explores the concept of what it means to be human against an initial backdrop of despair and depression that quickly turns to beauty and wonder.The film is set upon another planet, one which has been inhabited by a faceless corporation and filled with factories where humans work for little pay and no hope of a better life. Senn is a lowly factory worker who leads a pointless existence making crap for people who don't care, or even know about his plight. This is a stark comparison to the lives of sweat shop workers in the real world who work mind numbing jobs for people who neither know or want to know about the reality of their lives. This is a wonderful thought provoking issue which underpins the films opening acts.The films true beauty though lies once Senn discovers that there is a sentient alien intelligence watching him. This alien plucks him from his monotonous existence and takes him and his partner on a journey of profound exploration, though not everything is as it first seems. Senn's sanity lies in the balance, resting on a knifes edge ready to topple one way or the other, and yet he is the chosen one destined to fulfill a mysterious mission and save civilization.Senn is a riveting and thoroughly entertaining film that not only tells an intelligent story but does so with a mastery of artistry that is sadly rare to find in cinema.The films limited use of special effects are done to complement the story rather than to replace or overpower it. At its heart Senn is not a special effect heavy science-fiction extravaganza, it is a philosophical exploration of our existence and the misconceptions therein.Some of the acting does feel a little stilted, unnatural and frankly off putting at times. At points the poor delivery of lines takes away some of the shine from the inherently intelligent storytelling beneath. Thankfully though this is mostly contained within the films opening few scenes and once the sentient beings arrive the film kicks into high gear. Overall those moments of forced acting are fleeting and don't subtract too much from your overall entertaining experience.Senn's biggest skill is in creating a beautiful cinematic experience that is majestically shot, wonderfully directed and is intellectually stimulating. It's an excellent mix that really needs to be seen to be believed.I haven't touched on the story line much because quite frankly I don't think I can really explore it's context and it's connotations in any form of true justice in the five hundred words or so I have for this review. And even if I could I wouldn't want to spoil even a second of the cerebral exploration that is Senn.Senn makes you question things and makes you explore new concepts but above all it entertains you, from the opening scene to the final credits it's an entertaining ride that will keep you hooked in its psychological journey. I heartily recommend that everyone checks out Senn, and you know what? I think I may go and experience it all over again.

Senn is a masterpiece of world-building from the otaku-grade attention to detail of the landscapes and hardscapes, to the visionary worlds created within the main character. The production design is top-notch, yet never overpowers the story. The special effects are minimal strengthening the story, rather than replacing it. The score by Cubosity enhances the feeling of the scenes and fits nicely within the overall story telling.Senn is a great exploration of what it means to be human, and how every day lives can be changed in an instant. It is clearly concerned with contemporary issues such as environmentalism and human rights, without being dogmatic. The relationships in the film are strong, complicated, and real. The subtleness of Senn allows the viewer to leave their own imprint on the film and take from it something very personal.Go see what Senn has for you.
