Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
mayfield-520-3817 The premise of the story is good, the special effects are good too. The acting isn't even all that bad. The story/plot/dialog is where the film falls down somewhat. The camera work (1st person for most of the film) is where it jumps off a cliff. Best review I saw was "good if you've run out of good SF films to watch". That about sums it up.
adonis98-743-186503 A pilot battles to save his family and the planet after an experiment for unlimited energy goes wrong. I didn't expect to like Kill Switch to be honest but both Dan Steven's great leading perfomance and the whole 1st person shooter direction that the movie takes kept me entertained and pumped even when it has it's flaws like the whole back and fourth with his family or even the average cgi that at times hit the screen but i would lie if i said that i didn't like this movie and believe me it's better than it gets credit for. (8.5/10)
tradewithmewp I'll start by saying there's nothing wrong with the acting. Acting is the least of this movies' worries, and that's kind of saying something.The way the movie was executed was extremely poor. Things aren't fully explained, and the movie likes to go back and forth between the two parallel universes as well as jump back and forth between past and future. (Which was completely unnecessary!)First person shooter POV was a horrible idea, but I don't think I need to add on any more complaints this movie has already received.Even the most action-y parts of this film were boring. I really don't suggest watching this unless you have nothing better to do. I'm an extremely lazy person but the movie was so bad that I went out of my way to write this review.
walkertechie OK so I have no one to blame but myself for this. I feel for the trailer in thinking this might be worthwhile. I actually rented it and boy I'm sorry I wasted 5 bucks. I'm only 26 minutes in and I already hate this turd. Where to begin. Well as has been the top complaint of most reviewers, it the over use of the ridiculous first person shooter style. Not only was is nauseating done, but seemed extremely amateurish as well. I get what the director was trying to do but it really gets annoying after 10 minutes or so. It actually started making me sick to my stomach and giving me a bit of vertigo. And that's really something as I'm a recreational pilot for one. I've also seen other shaky cam movies I.e., Cloverfield, Blair Witch and a few others. None gave me such a physically unnerving feeling. Next was the tremendously bad acting and writing. The cast couldn't impart any true emotions or express their personality or even humanity. I just didn't have any connection to their characters. The script as equally atrocious in not providing and real storytelling or environment to the film. Everything seemed thrown together and disjointed from scene to scene. There was no setup at the beginning of the film to give the viewer any sense of scope or development to the events. Individual scenes where disjointed and out of place. I also had a tremendous problem with the rather hokey science. As science fiction fans realize, you do have to suspend your disbelief often enough. I mean we're not expecting to see a scientific documentary, but this thing couldn't convince a 6 year old any of this were possible. The whole premise for the new energy source was stupid and juvenile. Yes the sfx were decent at times, and others looked like they'd been cooked up on someone's laptop and thrown in at the last minute as a scene filler or to try for the WOW effect. Oh and you me more gripe is this film gave no sense of scale or location. One minute it looks and feel like Europe and the next the US. I also apologize to our friends across the pond but, the European characters accents sounded wooden and annoyingly unemotional. Was this done on purpose to make it seem like the Dutch characters are evil, or just poor acting by the cast? Can tell which but it didn't matter as the remaining cast did such a horrific job with their roles. Plot holes abound and are so glaringly apparent that the film as a whole looks and feels like a bunch of YouTube videos stitched together to make one whole. Didn't matter in the end anyhow as this one is a major fail. Hopefully someone reads these reviews and saves themselves the headache and their cash. Stay away far away from this dog show.
