Ascension

Omg I can't believe I spent $5 on this movie. I should have watched the trailer first.

The acting was horrible and the special effects and drama were nonexistent.

I think the bearded guy was the best actor in the whole movie.

I don't understand how a movie can be so bad with all the schools and online instruction a person can learn from before making a film like this.

There has to be better actors out there that could have been used in this film.

I saw that the budget was only $20k so I guess you get what you pay for.

I do love watching bad horror and sci fi movies but this was just not enjoyable at all.

Stay away from this train wreck.

Let me just start by saying that with the funding that was available for this project I feel the crew did a great job. The theatrical trailer was alluring and mysterious. The backdrop and scenery was actually quite beautiful. The fresh faced actors who are just trying to get their names out there did good work and are on the right track. Although I personally may not subscribe to the direction of the plot, I will say that it is a unique perspective that has not been employed before. So for the novel concept I will award it two thumbs up.

With all of this being said... please be advised that this is not a high budget film and the viewer should not expect all the bells and whistles that comes with a multi-million dollar budget.

The acting is ridiculous, the storyline splinters in ways that make no sense at all, and I'm not even sure what the point even was...

I can't rant enough about how terrible this was. There was a point where one of the main characters falls (comically) and sprains her ankle. The rest of the movie, she's either completely useless due to the injury, or it non-existent. Can barely walk, then walks just fine.

Some of the most dramatic scenes were pretty funny. It started off so bad, I thought I'd stick it out for a laugh. It got to a point of not even being funny anymore around the middle of it.

Lastly, I think this was supposed to be a religious movie. Pretty sure, but I honestly couldn't tell.
