For this review I am going to break it down into 5 sections: storyline, originality, characters, immersion, execution.
Storyline:
The storyline for The Oder is a good concept on paper and greatly executed in the first half, but gets pretty boring and filler in the second half. The first half greatly executes the suspense and mystery whilst the second half is a boring and filler collection of scenes with all the suspense and mystery sucked out.
6/10
Originality:
The Oder is a very original concept. It mixes a suspenseful mystery perfectly with its own original ideas. In the first half at least.
9/10
Characters:
The characters are alright at best, and mediocre at worst. They do not really develop throughout the movie but are serviceable enough.
6/10
Immersion:
The movie is immersive in the first half with its suspense and mystery. You can genuinely relate to the characters in the situations. But in the second half, it is nearly the exact opposite of immersive with the filler, boring scenes and all the suspense and mystery sucked out.
6/10
Execution:
The first half is greatly executed with the suspense and mystery but the second half is a dull, boring watch.
6/10
Conclusion: The Oder is mostly 50/50 but there is definitely more good than bad.
Overall Score: 6.6/10 Grade: C
