फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
This movie has so much potential. Really.
However, more than 70 percent of the film was shot as if you're inside an interactive video game. More than half of those scenes require you to read what's displayed on the graphic user interface as seen by the lead character to know what's going on.
Fifteen minutes into the movie, I'm starting to wonder, could it be that the studio couldn't afford to pay Dan Stevens to appear for the entire 90 minutes of the film that they had to resort to this first-person point of view story telling?
The experimental camera work is almost as bad as the Blair Witch Project, Cloverfield and Project Almanac (just to name a few). I've known people who've experienced motion sickness for days after watching these movies.
If you're thinking of watching this movie just to catch a glimpse of Dan, please don't. He's barely in it. Avoid this 90-minute of visual misery.

A plot that could be good, got trashed by the lack of intelligence in the execution, good cgi, bad direction.
It's a reasonably well acted and an interesting sci-fi film. It's not the most exciting nor smart film ever, but it's not terribly bad either. It has some elements from first-person shooter games, some other parts are your typical scenes, some tropes from other sci-fi films, etc. Very average sci-fi flick.
I don't think it's good enough to pay money to watch it at the cinema, but if you can find it on Netflix or Amazon Prime, then go for it. You might actually be pleasantly surprised.

... will give you a headache it will days to get rid of.
The incredible LADY IN THE LAKE 1947 (which you MUST see) shows the correct way to use the first-person POV. It is an artform all its own and most definitely an art form that has NOT been mastered by Director Tim Smit in Kill Switch.
Them there is the casting. Actors are supposed to have range but it seems here as if the casting director caught Dan Stevens in Legion - where he does a pretty good job of playing someone who is 100% of the time on edge, perplexed, confused and puzzled -- and therefore elected to cast Stevens here as someone who is 100% of the time on edge, perplexed, confused and puzzled. In gambling, they call that "pushing your luck."
The story in the right hands with the right characters (I am remembering Sandra Bullock in a spaceship talking to herself for 2 hours, and doing a heck of a job) could have been clever and compelling. This is neither.
And I saved the editing for last, not because it deserves special treatment but because I had to find a thesaurus to come up with a word that describes how bad it is. About 5 minutes into the movie, you will wonder if the projectionist skipped a reel.
(Depending on your age, I guess. If you are a millennial, you may have no idea what a projectionist is, or even what a reel is.) The point being, you are already committed to the first person POV, God help us all, so why would you want to further confuse the viewer with herky-jerky editing as well?
Recommended? Being honest, no, not really.

Okay, I felt like I'm in a first person shooter game pretty much for the duration of the movie. I do like the idea behind the movie, but the First Person view ruined it for me to a large degree.
It's okay, but it's not something to shout off the rooftops. The story is jerky and disjointed at times. You do get the gist of what's going on, but the "info" on the screen (from the Head up Display type screen) was quite distracting.
It could have been done much better, and if they'd ditch the first person shooter idea, it could be phenomenal.
If (like me) you get seasick when you play first person shooter games -- this one's not for you.
P.S. I had to type out all the first person shooter etc stuff, because the site decided I was shouting...

क्या आपको पता है
- ट्रिवियाBased on director Tim Smit's short movie 'What's in the Box?', which currently (May 2016) holds 2,6 million views on YouTube. The 9 minute video became viral in 2009 after several gaming magazines reported on it, believing it is connected to the video game series Half-Life.
- गूफ़At 16:50 in the movie you see a sign in different languages. In German they say Stop the profession instead off Stop the occupation. Probably a google translation.

Mia: I thought this was a celebration
