FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
bcpiper-86971 Fun story. Easy to watch. They made it for 100k, so don't expect the moon. The main protagonist's life is a mess. It only gets worse tracking down an old lover and getting caught up in a living nightmare. Would have been cool to have more of the "android" functioning, but then his tension with this implant is also interesting. It's film-noir so the protagonist is fallible. The whole tone of the story is dark. The ending keeps you guessing about how things went down. Many of the negative comments here are ungrounded in the budget restrictions this crew had. It's absolutely amazing what they were able to accomplish for the price tag. T
aldhibah The Good: The movie has a pretty good depiction of an AI enhanced soldier who is trying to find his place in life after the war. You can see the protagonist struggling with his dependence on his AI companion, hence the continuous removal of the device when it would probably be helpful. I thought it was comparable to the dependence of some soldiers when returning from war on PTSD medications. There was a strong similarity between the present and this hypothetical future which was both good and realistic. There are holograms Televisions and he rides around on what appears to be an electric motorcycle but otherwise it could be any west coast town today.The plot was fine, it was a basic film noir. This is very typical in science fiction novels, where the plot is there to provide a context in which to explore the interface between some new technology or idea and the present.The Bad: The pacing is a little off in the first third of the movie and then picks up by the halfway point. I thought the AI companion features should have been more thought out. It is hard to be able to see how this tech would have been useful on the battlefield unless it is hampered by the lack of signals intelligence. I imagine something like this would be good for integrating drone feeds and C3.The voodoo angle wasn't fully explored and should have been fleshed out better. There are a couple of references to breaching the mind/spirit barrier and its use as a weapon but an additional 30 seconds of dialog on that would have helped.
Andrew Lang I'm the kind of guy who will just throw a movie on while I'm playing a video game or whatnot so I can live with a lot of bad things in a movie, but this one is so bad it hurt. I barely made it 15 minutes in before I had to stop it. The CG looks like terrible, flat and terrible renders. The acting is... well also flat and and inexpressive. The cinematography is perfect, as long as the scene is boring and there is nothing better to look at than an actor walking across the shot. Sound fx, sounds like it was grabbed off the internet - they somehow managed to fit 200 wildly applauding people into a shabby nightclub for example. Unless you're really bored and don't mind a very sub-par movie just don't bother with this one.
Tammy Cruz This movie was filmed locally in southern Oregon. I was not sure what to expect.. However, it is a Sci Fiction movie based in 2029 which was thrilling and had unexpected plots an turns. The main character went back to Jefferson which had become a free state to find his girlfriend. He was a cyborg with a removable computer that was implanted in his head. I gave this a higher rating because it was so much better than the cheesy Sci Fiction movies I have had the displeasure of watching. Great acting too. I felt like I was watching an A rated professional movie. I see almost every movie that comes out especially independent film . The producer even talked to us before the movie. You won't be disappointed.
