The Last Boy on Earth

IMOP this script had an awesome possibility. The actors were vg. Not sure what happened in on the editing or financial chopping block of budget, but again IMOP, this could have been awesome. I am a sci-fi fan, and this movie had several ways to be the new "Train to Busan".

Not sure what happened.

The script was split, but the actresses and actors were on point!

There was so much possibility from this film. The film was very good. However, the script as filmed seems " confused".

The lighting, vg, costumes, vg.

The bottom line is there were not the story, edited and shown in a smooth way.

The thief? The demons? The kid? No cohesive info in the film. Where there absolutely COULD have been.

Sad.

The bad reviews not rely on the quality of the Short-Compilation, they display the dissapointment that it was not a movie like expected.

If you know that this are only shorts you will like most of them! They are not low-budget and habe good effects and even BlackMirror-like content. I dont like all stories and don't see a connection between them all but 4 or 5 of the 6 I really enjoyed, so this bad rating is just not fair and just unfair emotions of people who didn't know what they will get. Especially number one is a nice short-movie and have a very good athmosphere. Please leave a review to balance out this unfair bad rating.

This is not a movie, but rather half a dozen short stories with little link to each other except "dystopian future."

The shorts themselves are done pretty well for the most part, but with the expectation that this is a movie, you'll be looking for a coherent connection between the different scenes. There really isn't one, and even the (presumed) connecting story interspersed between the other ones never goes anywhere.

The sets and acting are actually good, as well as the special effects. The sound was all over the place, requiring drastic changes on my television to keep up with it in different shorts. The music was uninspired, and mimicked the Blade Runner aesthetic which also was also blatantly ripped off as a setting for one of the shorts.

Would have rated this higher if the summary had been honest. But then I probably wouldn't have watched it anyhow.

I do see a thread through the shorts but it was very well hidden and even then I was not sure until late in the movie. But before that I had no clue what was going on and did not like having to try to figure it out. I do not care for movies like this nor do I seek them out, so I feel this movie is just one big trick from the title, description, and film.

I also, do not like that it is under Sci Fi. Very little of it is actually sci fi. It should be listed under fantasy and Horror. Then again, since it is a rag tag film of different things I can understand the difficulty of putting it in any one primary category. So, lets just put it in under Films you do not want to waste your time on.

In short: frustrating collection of pedestrian pseudo scifi shorts that will leave you feeling conned into watching.

Commendable effort for the most part, given that these are all obvious extremely low-budget.

But the end result is a very, very, very lacking patchwork of unintelligible crap.

The gimmick of having "The Boy" film cut into snippets used as interludes between the other shorts was a clever way to fool some viewers into thinking that this was actually a full-length feature, but it only ends up multiplying the frustration you feel at the end, because there is no relationship whatsoever between the different films.

The shorts themselves look like school projects. And not very good ones at that. There is no plot to be found here anywhere. And there is no purpose or pathos to any one of the shorts. This is not movie-making, it's just mimicking of worn-out scifi tropes.
