This is one if the best Sci-Fi movies I've seen. We all want to be smarter, but at what risk & is it worth it?
This one's a mashup of "Flowers for Algernon" (Daniel Keyes, 1958) and "Contact" (Carl Sagan, 1985). Although it's derivative, the combo is really something fresh and new.
But the budget was so low they basically couldn't do anything but talk. For a science fiction movie this makes for an unsatisfying result.
Yes the acting is not extraordinary, yes the filming quality is not that good, the storyline is OK.
Some may argue about the plot's clarity, but hey, the movie had emotional connection to the its audience and not just pure scientific stuff - If they did, only a handful would grasp it.
This is a very watchable movie from down under. Full of science lingo and tech jargon that's sure to please anyone interested in that sort of stuff, which I am.
Another low-b film that goes nowhere and ends nowhere. The script has the same horrible dialogue that so many low-b films have.
One wouldn't necessarily hold that the acting wasn't adequate, or that the production was poor for a low-budget offering, and the premise, which immediately reminded me of Contact (1997), is also intriguing.Unfortunately, however, the overall presentation just seemed lacking in any real drama.
It's hard to know where to start with this, it has some really interesting ideas but it seemed to get partway into exploring them and then ditching them for another idea completely.it's starts out with an aging scientist trying to prove a theory regarding dark radiation which after some setbacks (setbacks are a cool band by the way) he is given a lab at a university on the condition that he teams up with some early 20s guy who is abrasive etc.
