Crypto Shadows

What an intriguing story line!

It might be a little harder to follow at first for those who aren't all that tech savvy (like me!), but stick around. You will not be disappointed!

With a screenplay co-written by one of my favorite authors, I expected it to be interesting, but I was blown away by just how good it was. It's thoughtful, current, and resourceful, laced with plenty of intrigue and realistic characters. Absolutely worth the download!

Dramatic plot twists, great character development, and an ending that is conclusive, yet leaves the door open for more (a sequel, perhaps? Maybe a series?), this movie will definitely make you think!

Anyone giving this a high rating is lying! Do NOT believe them and waste your time like I did! ZERO chance this is s 7 movie!

Basically a 1 person cast. Lame plot, lame 'action', ridiculous ending.

There was nothing in this movie that made any sense. Worst portrayal of some super hacker/high skill computer person ever. She's so smart but keeps getting 'hacked'. She's being chased, but no one ever tries to really get her. She's what, rich to afford her set-up on acres and acres including and underground bunker? No backstory whatsoever.

The main character is all over the place with her emotions, acting, work practices, everything. It's bad!

I've already told you how bad it is but I have to meet this 500 word requirement! Why does this exist?!? If you can't say what you think succinctly it's not worth saying it.

Anyway, you been warned.

Frankly, I lost interest after 45 minutes of a girl talking meaninglessly to herself, and no less than about 2 million sighs. I think Cara deserves to become the first sigh-master!

I'd give this film no more than 2 stars, with an interesting title but a boring plot that seems to have no direction, other than chopping wood, sitting on rocks, and scrolling through meaningless code on computer screens. A character can only talk to herself for a finite amount of time before it becomes a distraction.

The most puzzling aspect of this film is how it earned a 5.8 IMDB rating. I watched with a friend who expressed similar comments.

As someone who really appreciates art it was hard to look over how beautiful and interesting the set of this film. It felt so real. Also the stark contrast of the wilderness surrounding the technological hidey -hole was really interesting.

As for the story I was not sure I'd be able to keep up with the deeper meaning of the story because I'm not a tech savvy person at all but anyone could get into this. The suspense was killing me, and things got pretty heated. When I finally got to the part where I realized why everything was happening I did not want this movie to end. I don't want to leave any spoilers here but this is the first time I've ever seen this concept in a movie and I have sooo many questions.

I feel there is more left in this story and I am keeping my fingers crossed that there is more to come!!

Some of the reviewers out there were a little harsh in their critique - It was just a one actor movie, or it had too much sighing, or it was boring, etc..

For a small budget production, and minimal special effects, it was actually pretty decent, and it kept my attention all the way to the end. Mikayla Iverson did a good job as a stressed out computer game developer who inadvertently stumbles onto some code she was not supposed to see, and finds herself on the run from people who want to shut her down.

I generally rate a movie by how well it can to hold my attention, and this one kept me glued to my screen all the way through!

My only regret is that it I wish it lasted a little longer, to give it a more complete ending.

A good, watchable movie, and I recommend it.
