Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
lexa_morgan I think this movie was an interesting taking on reviving someone via neurotechnology from something such as a coma. The characters were phenomenal when it came to acting and conveying emotions and events but I think all characters were very underdeveloped. I even think the plot was underdeveloped. It felt like it scratched the surface of everything occurring throughout the film. The relationships between characters were hard to invest in with less than enough information and depth and making the storyline a bit unconvincing. It wasn't until the movie was nearly complete, did I understand what had happened and what was trying to be achieved to save the brother with the technology and the entire movie is about saving him. Again, the acting was wonderful but the plot was mediocre at best.
ajping This was a rock solid film until the producers ruined it about 3/4 of the way through with a nonsensical ending. Interesting sci fi, believable characters, an awesome plot twist a third of the way through the film, and decent acting. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised at how good the film was until it went off the rails. However, the ending was incredibly frustrating because of how unbelievably silly it was, totally destroying all the good work built up over the first part of the film. Sad, sad, sad! It could've been an excellent film!
turiya0207 This movie is a diamond in the dust! It is an Australian production that is far better than many Hollywood movies and...contains no effects. It is actually a philosophical movie, rather logical, different from the bulk of alien invasion and high-tech robotics sci-fi stories. It has some good twists and is well thought through. I think the idea is genius. Here are some of the issues I found most exciting:Could we program the brain by biological code we've written on a an electronic machine? Could we consciously choose to experience something in another time- frame of the psyche (as in our sleep)? Could we actually replace years of meditation with a non-addictive drop of chemistry? Could we finally differentiate mind from human will? Could we prove that human will is responsible for all life decisions, even in the states of comma? Could we relive our worst nightmare and find a way to brake the chain? Could we stop any invention from being used for causes dangerous or inhuman?
ddianami OtherLife had potential to be a great film, but the story development fell through. Great premise, great idea, thrilling, but no real story. Decent acting but not very well scripted. All in all, a fairly predictable movie, especially the ending. Would recommend watching Total Recall, the Matrix, or Inception instead of this one if you want a more engaging and well-written movie with a good execution, however, this one will suffice if you're bored and just looking for any thrilling Sci-Fi to watch.The "DMT security" was a nice reference to DMT, the psychedelic drug, which I laughed at. Clearly this was the source of inspiration for the writers, considering the DMT-type visuals that were added in some scenes.5.5/10
