Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Nayan Gough

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The acting in this movie is really good.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Overall a good thriller with an unexpected ending. It´s one of those movies that you can really only watch once as once you know the ending it takes all the "magic" away. Would we watch it again, maybe in a few years when the memory is not so good.

This is a movie that's about a lot of things that are easy to figure out - and a lot that can't be explained. It's more "military" than many movies that are a little like it, but isn't like any of them.A Special Ops group is assigned to accomplish a mission. The mission seems fairly straightforward until you realize that it isn't following its own plot layout.Then it gets historic/strange/bizarre....A lot of inexplicable events occur, and the director manages to meld them into the story quite well. But the underlying strangeness...I can understand why some people couldn't get this movie. I did, though, I think. And I liked it. The ending is especially good, and was cribbed by District 9.

I am torn between a good mark and a bad grade, but this is certainly not an average film. It is low budget, but well played and executed. Its story is captivating and the atmosphere really spooky, but not explaining anything. It is basically a mood film, something that enters your bones and doesn't let go until the weird ending that just makes you feel you are still in the movie, making it originally effective.That being said, you can't enjoy this film if you read any spoilers, so stop reading reviews and watch the film. Its main strength is its main flaw as well: all sense is left to the imagination of the viewer, while the technical details are provided by the film makers. Basically, this film is what you want it to be. I would go for sci-fi thriller, but then that would be my favourite genre. I can tell you for sure it is not a romance, but that's as far as I can go :) Try watching it at night with the lights off and enjoy the feel of it.

One thing that screen writers should learn about story telling with films, is , Beginning, middle, and end! Mostly middle here and not much more! Thinking about the sequel and stealing more money from us is the game!Story telling at its worst, a diary dialogue without explanation and resolution! Come on!Do better!Film makers dwell on the image, but often ignore the story!I would watch the sequel just because I care!Care of the viewers and stories is not the main studio concern!
