Rebirth: Home Sweet Home

The story, effects were very good. Most of the acting was good. However the biggest let down was the lead. This movie would have been much better served with a better casted lead character.

He started off ok. However as the movie progressed his acting kept falling short more and more. He seemed forced, fake, trying too hard.

I do not know ow if I have seen him else where and this doesn't mean he can't or hasn't done better. But this was definitely a failure. The supporting acting, including the little girl was better.

If the actor sees this please take it as a positive criticism on how to improve. It is not meant to demean you.

Story was weak, characters were forgettable and acting was terrible. I am so glad I won't have any memory of this movie to remind me of how bad it was. The CGI wasn't too bad but the demons looked robotic and not scary at all. This movie felt rushed and was probably produced to cash in some quick bucks. There were quite a few moments where my wandered off as it doesn't hold your attention long enough to keep you interested. It is watchable to some degree but I say this with caution. The fact that I looked forward to this movie so much just for it to let me down like this, is very disheartening.

I watch a lot of movies but don't choose to write many reviews and prefer to leave that to more opinionated people. But this "movie" just begged in every way to be called out. After 90 grueling minutes I came to the conclusion that this movie was written and directed by people who had never actually met other human beings. Not a single line of dialog, interaction, decision or behavior seemed like anything normal people do. Every moment of character interaction felt so fake and lacked any connection to reality making the viewer's experience more like extended torture. There was not 1 likeable character and even the child was nerve gratingly annoying. There was no real plot and most staged scenes felt like they were done on no budget and used CGI to augment the missing elements but failed at every attempt. The fight/combat scenes were laughable jokes with nobody apparently able to fake actual impact. But I did get a big laugh at how the main "hero" (reminding me of Hudson of Hudson & Rex) completely abandons his family and doesn't even seem to care to think of them while the world is supposedly falling apart and he's doing his action hero schtick... badly. This movie feels like it was an overreach by everyone involved and they tried to fill in all the gaps in post with really bad fx work. But for me it didn't work in any way and was more anger inducing than entertaining.

Reading these reviews made me not really wanna watch, considering I had been waiting ages for the release, but I decided to make my own judgement and it's really not as bad as people put out. Decide for yourself. Yes, the acting was slightly questionable but it's not the worst, and overall it was quite enjoyable. Michele played a good villain, The child was sweet and the mother wasn't so bad. Jake, good, sometimes he overacted but I don't believe it was really as bad as people are making it out to be. They had high expectations due to the trailer but as I said, make your own judgement, it's REALLY not that bad.

I don't even know if this can be called a movie. What is this garbage? From the acting to the plot, the characters, the writing, I wouldn't even dare to call this a kids' movie. Kids' movies are way more fun to watch and at least have decent acting and a clear point to the story. But this? This is on another level of awfulness.

The only somewhat decent character was the wife. She acted weird at times, too, but at least she felt like the only human in this mess. Even that little girl was annoying. I have seen a lot of young girls or boys who are way more talented. The rest of the characters felt like aliens-anything but human. The way they responded, moved, even talked... it was all just off. Honestly, I felt embarrassed for these actors.

With better acting, this could've been a great experience, especially since the movie has some similarities to "The Green Lantern." But nope, this just felt like a complete waste of 90 minutes.

That's my honest POV after watching this... I don't even know what to call it, just straight-up garbage, tbh.
