Nathan's Kingdom

By the way there is absolutely NOTHING remotely Sci-Fi about this film at all; so why was it rated as such!

Its not the low budget that causes the lackluster going nowhere story to fail but rather the Jacob Lince (as Nathan) utterly terrible lack of ability to portray an autistic person. Autism is a hard thing to portray but I have seen other actors do a far more convincing job. Most famous would of course be Dustin Hoffman, playing alongside Tom Cruise as his brother in "RAIN MAN".

Then we had Madison Ford (as Nathans opiate addicted sister,Laura) and all she did was act like your typical millennial spoilt, bad attitude modern day brat! I could feel no sympathy for her character at all even though having to look after an older autistic sibling would normally have you feeling bad for her in at least a small way...Nope...NO way...just couldn't! Also! I don't think it was make-up intentional or anything but she looked absolutely wrecked/ill/drab all through the film.

I had to force myself to complete the film view to the end. All I could find good about this poor offering was the periodical fantastic views of mountain scenes and oddly eroded shaped rock towers etc. If you are having trouble sleeping then this is the film to watch...you will nod off in 10-20 minutes, if not sooner.

Yet another time in my life that would have been better spent watcjing paint dry!
