Immanence

Starts well. The first 55 minutes or so is a great film. Then it turns into a convoluted mish mash of all sorts of nonsense. The actual ending is ridiculous and uneventful. You'll just face palm m) yourself for bothering to stick it out.

This movie is a decently made really bad 'religion religion religion' sci-fi extra-terrestrial object come-to-Earth movie. With the main character doing his darndest to look, sound, and have the presence of Denzel Washington, without quite hitting the mark. His performance is one of the guilty-pleasure highlights. Unfortunately, he continually rambles on with religious scripture whenever he gets a chance and pushing that religious narrative previously stated.

Go in knowing that the acting and the script are fairly amateurish. They do a lot of over-explaining and silly dialogue. It occasionally teeters on good-bad but then they fumble.

Its a pretty big skip and I rather regret the time spent on this movie.

There really is a LOT of religious talk against "science nerds" where the main character (Denzel*) systematically takes down their dumb science views to open yourself to god. And how dumb the scientists are. Ho-Hum 2/10.

Well, everything in "Immanence" reminds me of that group of fellow amateurs actors, writers, directors, etc. Who joined forces, collected their pocket money and decided to make an artsy(-fartsy) film.

The beginning is somewhat interesting, but the execution is somewaht clunky. After a while, contrary to its meaning, Immanence is all over the place and my interested evaporated. Possession, prophecies, science fiction, etc. Makes a heavy meal that is not easily digested.

Acting is also below par.

Nothing here.

Naomi (Summer Bellessa) and her team are looking for proof of extraterrestrial life. When a meteorite lands somewhere in The Bermuda Triangle and starts emitting strange signals they think they may have discovered what they were looking for. They rent a boat owned by Davis (Eugene Byrd) and captained by a man named Jonah (Michael Beach). Once the team reaches the impact point, they start to experience hallucinations that blur the lines between science and faith. This was supposed to be a horror movie but to me it was more a half cooked bible sermon. Starting with a fake exorcism, Naomi's extremely devout mother lecturing her about Jesus, Jonah and his "faith" etc. This was a very disappointing movie, felt really like a waste of time and even the dialogues made no sense. On the positive side, there were moments of sublime acting from Summer Bellessa (Naomi) and Michael Beach (Jonah). And that´s it. The movie started strong but that feeling was over very soon. Don´t waste your time, skip this one!

Ok, it's not a masterpiece, it won't take any Oscars home. The fight between good and evil, between science and fate... It's all not very subtle.

But an average 3.3? Seems a little harsh. It kept my attention throughout. The acting was decent at least. The speed was right. I had a fairly good time. I'd say give it a shot. Hope you enjoy.
