CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Leofwine_draca UNIDENTIFIED is a low budget sci-fi comedy indie that forgets the science fiction stuff for the first hour. Until that point it's a slacker comedy filmed from the point of view of found footage and with endlessly lame humour that the viewer has to sit through. It's something of an endurance test. Later, once the action shifts to the desert, there's some brief alien stuff and a CGI UFO, but believe me it's really not worth the wait.
mistela67 This movie, an obvious indie film, had great potential. The premise is actually good. Being stuck out in the middle of the desert some miles out from Las Vegas, with possible aliens stalking you, is an interesting starting point. The problem is that it wasn't used as a starting point. For whatever reason, the writer of this movie filled the first three-forths of the script with some of the most boring and irritating dialog I've ever witnessed. The actors did their best, the direction didn't stray towards horrible. It's just the writing was notorious. After about 50 or so minutes, the movie actually gets fairly good. It's never great, although the final scene (flying through the air) was actually very well done. It almost seems as if this was meant to be a short film, and someone got a greenlight to make it feature length, but they had no idea how to do that, so they just told the actors to ad-lib and do their best. My suggestion, literally, is to fast- forward to about the 45 minute mark and go from there.
Jeff V I really, really like sci-fi. And I don't have any problem with found footage movies. And I appreciate a well done indie on a budget. But this move is just 70 minutes of some uninteresting characters getting ready for a road trip, going on a road trip, then about 45 minutes in, they start to occasionally see or hear something weird for a second. Someone occasionally says "Did you hear/see that?", then they move on with their mundane dialog.The acting is good and believable, which is part of what's so sad. If this at least had poor acting, I could laugh at that. But this movie is all about portraying 70 minutes of believable found footage, then the last 20 minutes it gets good. But at that point, I don't give a damn. I bought it used at Family Video off the rental shelf for $5, only $1.50 more than renting it. It's now in my Buybacks bag of movies to get rid of.The **SPOILER** here is that this actually becomes a sci-fi movie at the end, after being an extremely boring found footage movie for the first hour+.
pattypattydang I tried to like this film, I really did. It started off well and it promised to be fun, but as it progressed, it dragged badly.It's an odd film in that it is almost two separate films joined together. The first half is a comedic road trip film. There were no segments in this part of the film that were done poorly, but there were just way too many segments. The bits and scenes just rambled on without going anywhere or adding to the story. This rambling did allow for some character development and set an overall tone, but I think the same result could have been had with better editing. The first half might have been actually good if it had been cut in half.The second half of the film (almost to the minute) becomes more serious as trouble starts to befall the group of friends. The film really falls apart in the second half. The Blair Witch style filming worked in the first half but gets silly and implausible in the second half...not to mention down right annoying as the film limps to its conclusion. There aren't as many pointless scenes in the second half, but most of them are too drawn out. The reactions and motivations of the characters seems unrealistic for the most part. Even though the phenomenon that these guys witness is the point of the movie, the script can't seem to convey any sense of awe or horror. It's almost like the writers knew they had nothing and were stretching film time to connect to the ending. The end scene, overall, is interesting, but the Blair Witch hand held camera becomes truly irritating. While the ending scenes are mildly interesting, they don't do much to answer any questions. I think the filmmakers were going for tantalizing but got unfulfilling instead.If I hadn't decided to write a review of this film (no one had reviewed it yet), I doubt I would have watched the whole thing. I think this might have made a good short film instead of a feature length film; maybe there's no money in making shorts.
