Making Sense

To start of with the direction it is decent as screenplay is slow but as the film progresses the characters get their arcs forward, If you are not a science person still you can get this.

The film initiates with school experiments but takes a different angle unleashing the sixth sense.

Clearly it is a low budget strike but it's exhilarating aforementioned the soundtracks gives an 80s synth vibe also cinematography is cold and appealing.

The actors aptly play their roles even though script couldn't have been better at few points.

A quote from this will stay for a while "Don't let the small failures define you."

It is worth watching as a sci-fi mystery.

Or just nonsense. Well its a 90 to 10 formula movie, with just 10% good story , acting and message, the remaining 90 % are just mumbo jumbo experimental movie making on high self esteem, which could have been busting the block in the late 70' or early 80's, like ''e.t.'', ''contact'', '' close encounter of the third kind'', '' the philadelphia experiment'' and all the 10's of 1000s of the scifi drama genre made since then, but just not in the year 2021 ad.

Its just a pure fact that to fetch a grumpy old mans interest youll need room for space, not close up facial panning of rather untrained actors, youll also need some confidence on the truthfactor on the complot, are there any sense of truth in the material theyve plotted the story with? , and they need a good production managment and some utterly ingenious prop makers to make it all convincing. I think theyve missed the tools to succeed in their mission to make sensory disabled persons into sensible caracters, most of all due to lack of budget.

So therefore just 3 for the effort, there are better moves out there, take a dive under watersurface and youll see, that this was time spent that youll never get back.

A captivating story, non stereotypical characters and suspense are the main ingredients of this little jewel. If you enjoy science, mystery and peeking into a world of new possibilities, watch this movie!

First, this is (currently) listed on Amazon Prime under another fake "18+" rating. I've been tracking Amazon's using this stunt to get people to watch their films. In reality this is a PG-rated-- though not "family" film (the plot is a little too high-brow for children). No bad language (at all) , no nudity, no sexuality, etc. PG rated-- and even that merely for complexity of story.

Beyond that, this is a mediocre film with an interesting premise (humans can develop far more senses than our limited five)... with zero follow-through. I won't spoil the film by going into specifics, but this flick starts with some promise and ends with mumbo-jumbo grammar-school-play fizzle.

It is of note that they hired handicapped people to play the parts. Good on them. It's a shame they didn't give them meatier and more meaningful parts to play. This could have been so much better; I can think of a half dozen ways it could have ended smarter. Instead it just kind of plopped and left viewers regretting the time wasted on this amateur "fan film" quality production.

Kudos to the actors for doing a fairly decent job. The directing was even pretty decent, considering the environment of the plot. It was the basic storytelling and ending that really let the film down. Said it before and I'll say it again: If you don't have a good story from the beginning, don't make the film. They really needed to hash this out a lot better before investing money and energy on an ill-conceived story line.

This has it. Sure, budget was tight. But, one cannot deny the heart and love that so many put into this, in front of and behind the camera. And, it's because everyone truly wanted to tell a good story. Good sci-fi starts with "what if?" and proceeds from there, keeping everything thing else as real as possible, including the people. And, it wraps it all together at the end preserving a sense of wonder. Not every film has that. But, this has it.
