The Last Boy on Earth

Even knowing that this was a collection of shorts, I still stopped watching as the second short began. The first short seemed to be set in the Blade Runner universe but the characters were depressingly bad with no interesting story element to make it worth it. The next story lost me when it started taking about prophesy. Basically, it started with boring stories with confusing cuts of the kid mixed in. It was a chore to get through even as far as I did. I had no desire to wade through the sludge with the potential of no payoff. I have tried that with too many bad movies. So I stopped early but was still very frustrated.

Wow what a stinking pile of shizzz this was....

1 star for special effects is the only positive reaction to this.

The misleading premise that this is a cohesive film is incredibly irritating from the beginning. If there were actual stories that lead to anything interesting i'd call them stories but they are meaningless, mindless crap attempts at sci fi in a short form.

How many? 7 of them I think, most of them seem to attempt to join together as one cliche to the next.

When I got through the first one I was wondering what is going on? Like... umm... is this movie going to just keep introducing new characters and not build or lead to anything? It seemed exhausting getting through the first short without receiving some kind of cash reward from the filmmakers.

Sci Fi is such an amazing genre and this abuse seems to continue with amateur filmmakers.

With a budget this big somebody should have known at some stage that this film is a waste of time to make.

For me it would have been seeing the screenplay is essentially blank pages, no substance at all.

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.

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.

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.
