A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
View Morean ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
View MoreStrong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
View MoreAs some of the other reviews stated, the script was a bit convoluted as if written in segments by different people. First, the school stuff changes. Then, the EMT's appear as of they're some kind of saviours. They skip around what she is encountering without coming to the point. Then the science teacher gets involved... all like different chapters. Yup, I really was expecting some sort of real Black Hole to be involved, but it's not almost to the end that you start to suspect what is happening. About 3/4 of the way through, I was hoping they would get on with it and reveal what was happening. Little hints throughout would have been nice. Not a terrible movie, but I wouldn't pay for it. Good to watch ONCE.The acting is okay... but Izzie Steele's acting was pretty darn good. Not the large actions but the little things. The facial expressions, the rolling eyes, smirks, and so on. That really adds to the detail of the character. I hope she shows up in a better picture.I would have loved to find the Soundtrack, esp THE WALKING MAN.
View MoreI quite liked this movie.It is slow. very slow. The middle, in particular, taxed my patience and i'm glad i saw it at home and not in a cinema.There is a great sound track. The tale itself twist and turns around and morphs and evolves and keeps you guessing, before leaving you wondering. Its not a blockbuster, the loose ends are not resolved, but it is thought provoking. Indeed, i'm starting to wonder about the type of movie i've been watching recently. Is the universe trying to tell me something?Maybe my 42 odd years have contributed to the enjoyment i got from this? Other found the acting bad, i found it OK. The looseness of the timing was refreshing.Bad points? apart from the slow slow pace there are a number of volume problems that showed the more budget production values. Voices were not properly balanced and go from too quiet to too loud a few times.There's a lot of visual information, so quite a hard one to watch while you are doing something else, so perhaps save for a long cold evening when there's knitting to be done ;)
View MoreI am a HUGE fan of B rated horror and sci-fi movies from way back, but this movie was not even in the same league. The movie plot "roughly" describes the movie but only in the vaguest of terms. This is not an exciting, sci- fi/thriller like we've come to love in Malcolm McDowell films. This film is NOT a thriller and for that part, not even sci-fi. It is a story of a teenage girl who does something stupid and has a hard time dealing with it. AND it is BORING! There is no action to keep it going. I cannot believe there could be so much nothing in a 2-hour movie. I have NO idea what I just watched; nothing was explained through the whole movie. I didn't pay a dime to watch it and still feel like I was cheated.
View MoreThe summary sounded promising, though vague, but the 4 rating should have been a warning. Decided to watch due to Malcolm McDowell being in the cast. Big mistake! From screenplay to directing and acting, it was mediocre at best. What could have been a good idea, it did not happen: no plot, no script. It is hard to pinpoint were it went wrong. Perhaps when the writer had the idea for the script, or when anyone decided to actually pay for it. I thought about the spoiler alert, but it is hard to write about a plot when there is none. About acting, when the best was the mediocre acting of Mr McDowell (I love him, but here he couldn't help much). Pretty much the same happening all over again, with slight changes in setting, no logic in anything. Sometimes the music can build some suspense, but even that was a fail. 1 star for Malcolm McDowell, 1 for the film.
