Future Fear

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.
