Ever since I was a little kid, I've always been fascinated by science fiction films that involve the known reality that we all live and breathe in today. From CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND to CHILDREN OF MEN, looking at an alternate reality of the present or near future has always fascinated me and the big question of "What if?
This was a fantastic movie! It played like an honest-to-goodness homemade documentary.
I am generally quite tolerant of independent .I don't mind lack of effects and other limits from small budgets.
I guess I will never learn to be careful of highly rated movies with not a substantial amount of votes. This film had 81 votes and a 8.
I am afraid this will not be a well worded considered review.The acting seems to be forced.
This movie was quite dry, and very self defacing for the first 15 minutes or so at least. You have to get past that, and it is difficult because of the painfully bland character you experience first, and the way no one ever seems to treat him very nicely is not easy to watch either.
I was impressed be the " real people " feel to the characters. I could really relate to them.
What I liked most about this movie was the fact that the director actually covered his bases with the whole "found footage" concept, which in my opinion has been done to death at this point. But here, there's an actual reason for it, and the quality gets better as the film progresses.
Spoiler Alert. .
