Experiência Alpha

If you ever wondered what an episode of Black Mirror directed by Tommy Wiseau would look like, watch this film for a laugh.

This isn't director, writer, producer, cinematographer, editor Aaron Mirtes' first time dabble in filmmaking, but you would think it was.

I get this was obviously put together on a micro budget, but the majority of the flaws could've easily been avoided - even by a 5th grade drama class.

For starters the writing and dialogue was just infantile in some scenes. Many plot and technical issues. The story itself had some opportunity, but that was clearly messed up in the screenplay.

The cinematography was adequate, but Mirtes failed miserably in directing his cast, and had some wacked out camera angles. The score was actually not bad nor overbearing, but the overall sound was shallow and distant. You can rent a couple of boom mics for chump change ya know.

I will however say, that although rudimentary, Alpha's android head was creepy af, and worked really well, especially with the voice and color changing light on the back.

I am disappointed at Mirtes' final cut, especially since I've seen some stellar films from amateur/newb filmmakers lately such as Guns Akimbo, Villain, Blood on Her Name and Foxtrot Six - all new and amateur filmmakers. This film is a generous 3/10 from me.

Yes it's cheap, yes some of the acting is awful, but you need to enjoy it for what it is which is a cool little sci-fi flick.. I actually enjoyed it.. the robot was creepy and the film in general was entertaining.. those who can't look past bad acting and low budget should avoid.. myself found it good for a low budget sci-fi film..

And NO I don't work on the production team before anyone starts! 🙄

Forgive Asimov 3 rules of robots.

This movie is about home robots that never had read Asimov 3 rules: a robot can not do harm to a human...

All else is very basic and childish like a stupid robot learning by mistakes, a young employer doing basic programing, a disfunctional family... All this at some future where robots still have a cery annoying artificial fake 8 bits voice.

If you want to spend your valuable time, it will be lost forever, be warned, you can watch this college made movie.

Be careful, while you are using your mobile or your smart tv, they are capturing and getting your data. They will learn from you. They will become SkyNet and come against humakind!

Terrible movie in every respect that I've watched so you don't have to. You're welcome :)
