Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Java_Joe There's an easy way to tell the skilled from the fakers and that's to ask them to do that one thing they're good at. Judging from this movie alone I can safely conclude two things. The first is Tim Chey can't direct or write a movie for that matter. And secondly is, there were no geniuses consulted for this. As somebody with an IQ in the genius range I can tell you that geniuses don't talk the way these idiots do. This is how screenwriters think geniuses talk. It's the way that stupid people think smart people talk. It's about using large or impressive sounding words. It's about figuring out answers to seemingly impossible questions. It's how a group of individuals couldn't think their way out of a wet paper bag.It's sure to impress people who are, sorry to use the term, stupid. It's sure to impress people who are, sorry to use another term, gullible. And I'm sure it's going to impress anybody that's of the same flavor of Christianity that the writer director is because that is what this movie is all about. It's about God. Tim Chey, as I've found out, is a Christian filmmaker. Now I have no problem with filmmakers that are Christian or even filmmakers that make Christian movies. But Tim doesn't make good movies. He's hit on the idea that all he has to do it play to his audience and he'll never have to worry about making money again. They will see his movie. They will praise it and they will ignore all the problems in favor of a message that appeals to them.The acting ranges from decent to poor but to the people this movie was made for they will admit that the acting was superb. We saw the same movie but without the Jesus colored glasses, I sure didn't see it the way they did.The camera-work ranges from okay to high school. But again, if you're a fan of Jesus, it's nothing short of the best camera-work ever. The direction, the editing the overall feel all fall into the same trap and it's the same result. If you're a born again Christian and care more for the message and not the movie you will like this movie. If you're anything other than that, you will hate it.
longtennenbaum I walked into the movie theater expecting to see Stephen Baldwin make a complete buffoon of himself. However, when I came out I was impressed. There was a depth to this movie I did not see coming, and it took me completely off guard. "Genius Club" proved to be a powerful, emotional, and humorous piece of work. There was a certain philosophical message in this movie, in which I think, we all take for granted. Stephen Baldwin did a great job in playing a genius with the highest iq. It is always great to see Tom Sizemore in any movie, and in "Genius" he played the eccentric scientist who provides the geniuses with his life controlling games. I Recommend this to anyone looking for a quality film with a good laugh. Definitely a 10/10 in my book.
wardheather11 From the first minute to last this film twists and turns you till you feel rather poorly. Just like 'Se7en', the all-round Grittiness that director Chey creates makes you ponder and enthralls. Just like '12 Angry Men', there is a H U G E twist that makes your blood curdle.A lack of star names helps the movie flow as the pace builds to a finale that won't be forgotten by this viewer in a hurry! I still can't sleep. The Password still buzzes in my mind! It is well scripted, well acted, and, for everyone who guesses the 3 WORDS after the first few minutes, keeps you guessing right up to the final reel. It is better than Seven for shock value. It is not over the top violence but there is a final scene which makes you sweat with the nuclear bomb.Very highly recommended!
melissa_bell This film was ignored by critics when it was first released, and to this day, I have absolutely no idea why.One critic from LA Weekly apparently got the message and knew it was a great movie.Perhaps its because it discussed God too much. This is the most important question to mankind, don't you think? I'm not going to go too much into the story as many others have, but the performance of Stephen Baldwin was fantastic. Never knew he could act like this - not sure why his performance wasn't singled out, which just further goes to show the naivety of the critics.Genius Club is worthy of your time, and I am not surprised that people are finally discovering it and realising that its not the failure that critics would have you believe.
