Future Fear

No need to watch the entire movie.

5 minutes of it was enough to understand how poorly the actors are. The editing is terrible. Everything is made of plastic and you can clearly see it. I try to watch some other scenes in the movie to see if it was about to be better, but you can bet your salary it is not. It seems to get worse and worse. This ain't a movie, this is a primary school long métrage.

Very bad.

If you want to waste your precious with a good apocalyptic movie, there are plenty of them. I strongly recommand anything but this one. I am pretty sure my deaf dog can make a better movie, and can act way better than these actors.

I watch a lot of super low budget films and find sci-fi and horror can still be entertaining at the zero budget level. Because an idea, even with poor special effects, is still interesting to me.

One or two of the segments are student grade, but a couple of the others had something to say and I appreciated that. The "Isolation" short, in particular, had something to say that will probably ensure that filmmaker won't be working in Hollywood any time soon. But that's exactly the kind of thing that makes watching these small independent films worthwhile. They say things the big boys won't/can't say.

Cinematography and production values are hit and miss, but if you're the kind of person who watches low budget indie sci fi/horror, hoping to find humor or alternative world views, then you might enjoy this.

Overall, it's probably a 3 star effort, but I'm adding two stars out of support for the higher effort segments that took risks.

Easily the worst film ever. I could've made a better movie in my backyard starring myself, my wife, my 2 sons and my dog. How the hell is this on Netflix?! No amount of me telling you how bad this movie is can justify how bad this slop is. Do yourself a favor. Go watch paint dry instead.

Sure, when I sat down to watch the 2021 sci-fi horror "Future Fear" (aka "Stellanomicon: Future Fear"), I must admit that I wasn't really sure what to expect here. I hadn't even heard about the movie prior to getting to sit down to watch it. I have to say, though, that I was suckered in by the movie's cover.

And let me just say that this was bad. Really, really bad. The storyline felt like it was written by a pre-teen as a term paper. It was just ludicrous that writer and director Ken May managed to churn out something as ridiculous as "Future Fear" turned out to be.

I am sure that the idea was well-meant and that the concept sounded great in the head of writer and director, but the transition from idea to screen was just horrible.

The special effects in the movie were awful to look at. It felt as if they didn't even bother with attempting to make it look realistic. And how such effects get a clearance stamp in post-production is just beyond my comprehension.

The acting in "Future Fear" was every bit as wooden, rigid and cringe-worthy as the rest of the movie. So at least they were on point with that.

If you enjoy sci-fi horror movies, don't waste your time, money or effort on this one. There are far, far better movies out there in the sci-fi horror genre.

I am rating "Future Fear" a generous two out of ten stars. At least they tried, I suppose. And I bet they had fun making this cheesy movie. But in terms of it being an entertaining or enjoyable movie, then it was just a swing and a miss.

Future Fear is an electrifying blend of sci-fi, suspense, and mind-bending storytelling that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish! This indie gem proves that creativity and vision can outshine even the biggest blockbusters.

The film masterfully combines thrilling action with a deep, thought-provoking narrative. The atmosphere is hauntingly immersive, pulling the viewer into a dystopian world where danger lurks around every corner. The cinematography is stunning, using eerie lighting and clever camera work to heighten the tension.

The lead performance is absolutely captivating, bringing raw emotion and intensity to a complex character navigating a perilous future. Every scene feels purposeful, building up to a gripping climax that leaves a lasting impact. The special effects, though indie in scale, are impressively executed, adding to the film's gritty realism.

What truly sets Future Fear apart is its bold storytelling. It challenges viewers to think beyond the surface, blending sci-fi elements with philosophical undertones that linger in your mind long after the credits roll.

For fans of innovative sci-fi, Future Fear is a must-watch. It's a testament to the power of indie filmmaking, proving that passion and creativity can produce something truly special. A hidden gem that deserves far more recognition!
