Good idea lost in the noise
Dreadfully Boring
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
View MoreI watched this movie only because it had good ranking (7 points).This movie should be rated as 4 (four) only ...maybe 5. I was expecting something more.The story indeed was quite good, even intriguing or mystique, almost like in "The Net" or late episodes of Lost.But I can not say good word about acting.The dialogs were very unnatural like in "War of the Worlds 2: The Next Wave" (which I watched only because of "War of the Worlds").Actors were rather plastic - comparable to "Terminal Invasion" or "Alien Apocalypse" There was lots of situations where you just can fell the acting does not fit to situation, there is not much emotions in actors.Also lack of any technical/professional consultancy in the movie is just offensive, it's first movie with so low detail I've seen in long time.The movie is switching context quite fast, actors appear without introduction, scenery changes also fast without any information about new place or actors.And as last, sometimes the movie was looking almost like something was cut off, i was going backwards few times just to check if i did miss something.
View MoreThis movie is so bad, that I hardly know where to begin.First, the basic premises are preposterous. The so-called "keyless encryption" is a nonsense - How do you determine who is authorized to decrypt some ciphertext? Second, the explanation given to Rachel is something embodied in lots of security protocol (e.g. SSH and SSL) and "keyless encryption" is neither necessary nor desired. Third, the way the developers at the encryption company (I forget its name) are portrayed is hilarious in its inaccuracy. Fourth, the "God's code" stuff is something clearly inspired in the Bible code nonsense, something that has been debunked as lot of silly mumbo-jumbo long ago. Fifth, the plot starts focusing on the "keyless encryption," only to be ditched halfway through. Sixth, with the exception of David Warner's, the acting is stilted and amateurish. Seventh, Ms. Alonso clearly shows that she is a "has-been" big time. Eighth, it is not good even for laughs.This is all a shame, because it starts off fine. All in all, this movie is thoroughly deserving of the relative anonymity in which it lives. A complete waste of time.
View MoreYou may like the movie or not, it's an obvious matter of taste and individual sensibility. Better said, you may like so much the message conveyed that you give it a ten. I gave this movie a five. In my opinion, to give a ten, cinema art qualities should be taken into account, like camera work, or robustness of plot, which allows for ellipses, or smartness of the screenplay. All this is missing in this movie. If a character runs for his life let him run till the viewer also is breathing heavily. The message itself is vague, no technical details (in such a technological subject) to give it substance. A horror film may have a ten if it is perfectly done, and possibly teaches the viewer a better understanding of the human behavior. Ideals and spirituality are harder to convey. Somebody did it, a good job indeed, with very plain examples.
View MoreI quantitatively believe in God. I believe he created us to procreate and to continue on in his own image, and I also believe, as one of the commentators wrote...that God allows us to be able to find and understand what exactly he is trying to reveal to us. It seems as though the majority of people on our planet are closed minded and have to large the egos to be open enough to see the truth of the world and our future. Strangely enough, those close minded people are also the ones that think they know everything...which is the case? They know everything, or they have chosen to stop learning...or do they refuse to learn anything else because they THINK they everything there is to learn. Personally, I say people that THINK they know everything, are truly fools. YOU CAN NEVER STOP LEARNING.I think the acting and directing and music were all very good. The story was excellent!
