The Last Boy on Earth

I assumed this was a full length movie. The story kept on changing but one constant was a boy in a room which it kept on going back to so the film was making no sense. All the scenes were well done with very good special effects all the actors were people i didnt know. Because it was a set of shorts and i wasn't aware it it made watching it really hard work a bit like watching a david lynch movie.

By the time I got to the end i still never worked out how the boy in the movie was tied to all the stories as i could not see a link. Its only when i saw the credits and it started listing all the different shorts directed by different people that i realised it wasn't one film.

This really sucks. If i had known going into it that it was a set of shorts i would have been happy to watch it and enjoyed it more but instead i was left wondering what on earth was going on and this ruined it. At this point i dont care what ties all the shorts to the boy in the room. Not worth wasting your time unless you like shorts.

I do see a thread through the shorts but it was very well hidden and even then I was not sure until late in the movie. But before that I had no clue what was going on and did not like having to try to figure it out. I do not care for movies like this nor do I seek them out, so I feel this movie is just one big trick from the title, description, and film.

I also, do not like that it is under Sci Fi. Very little of it is actually sci fi. It should be listed under fantasy and Horror. Then again, since it is a rag tag film of different things I can understand the difficulty of putting it in any one primary category. So, lets just put it in under Films you do not want to waste your time on.

In short: frustrating collection of pedestrian pseudo scifi shorts that will leave you feeling conned into watching.

Commendable effort for the most part, given that these are all obvious extremely low-budget.

But the end result is a very, very, very lacking patchwork of unintelligible crap.

The gimmick of having "The Boy" film cut into snippets used as interludes between the other shorts was a clever way to fool some viewers into thinking that this was actually a full-length feature, but it only ends up multiplying the frustration you feel at the end, because there is no relationship whatsoever between the different films.

The shorts themselves look like school projects. And not very good ones at that. There is no plot to be found here anywhere. And there is no purpose or pathos to any one of the shorts. This is not movie-making, it's just mimicking of worn-out scifi tropes.

The bad reviews not rely on the quality of the Short-Compilation, they display the dissapointment that it was not a movie like expected.

If you know that this are only shorts you will like most of them! They are not low-budget and habe good effects and even BlackMirror-like content. I dont like all stories and don't see a connection between them all but 4 or 5 of the 6 I really enjoyed, so this bad rating is just not fair and just unfair emotions of people who didn't know what they will get. Especially number one is a nice short-movie and have a very good athmosphere. Please leave a review to balance out this unfair bad rating.

Wow what a stinking pile of shizzz this was....

1 star for special effects is the only positive reaction to this.

The misleading premise that this is a cohesive film is incredibly irritating from the beginning. If there were actual stories that lead to anything interesting i'd call them stories but they are meaningless, mindless crap attempts at sci fi in a short form.

How many? 7 of them I think, most of them seem to attempt to join together as one cliche to the next.

When I got through the first one I was wondering what is going on? Like... umm... is this movie going to just keep introducing new characters and not build or lead to anything? It seemed exhausting getting through the first short without receiving some kind of cash reward from the filmmakers.

Sci Fi is such an amazing genre and this abuse seems to continue with amateur filmmakers.

With a budget this big somebody should have known at some stage that this film is a waste of time to make.

For me it would have been seeing the screenplay is essentially blank pages, no substance at all.
