Sirona

I went to see the movie without any big expectations. What a complete waste of time and money. Not worth the paper the posters were printed on.

Subpar on every level.

The "actors" involved had worse emotional performance then the wooden dolls in Team America. Reading the lines and then acting on what was being said. No chemistry within any of the cast.

Action sequences were laughable and terrible at the same time.

Film students can make a better impression with camera work than anyone who shot this. Plot was barely there, filled with cliches after cliches.

Only way I can describe the high rating of this movie is that the people involved rated it.

Like some other reviewers have mentioned, this is abysmal. Tons of 1 review accounts giving this praise saying that it keeps the audience engaged. Engaged to their phones.

Right off the dialogue is just off. This silly acting becomes obvious a few moments later and it's just all downhill. Why are you filming a fight scene two feet from the actors? Probably so we don't notice how bad it is and the angles can hide the obvious misses. I'm wondering if the camera men took a few hits filming this.

The same background music and they couldn't afford genuine squibs for gun shot hits. It seems like this was done in the 90's and is lost footage. Cheesy all the way through.

Was a colossal waste of time, with glaring issues in almost every aspect. From terrible camera angles to an incoherent script, there wasn't a single redeeming feature to hold onto. Let's break it down:

Camera Work (1/5): The angles are atrocious. The filmmakers seem to have no idea how to frame a shot, constantly using awkward and unflattering angles that detract from any scene. It feels like someone picked up the camera for the first time and hit "record" without thinking about perspective or visual storytelling.

Script (0/5): The script is disjointed and lacks flow. There's no coherence from one scene to the next, making it impossible to follow the story (if there even is one). It's like a random collection of poorly written dialogue strung together, with no sense of structure or pacing. The lines themselves are cringe-worthy, often feeling forced and unnatural.

Actors (1/5): The actors? Completely unconvincing. They don't just lack talent-they also seem disinterested in what they're doing. There's no chemistry, no emotion, and worst of all, they're stiff and awkward. These are clearly not professional actors, and it shows in every scene.

Direction (0/5): The director seems to have no clue what they're doing. There's a complete lack of vision or leadership here. The scenes are poorly staged, and the lack of direction leaves the entire production feeling aimless and chaotic.

This movie in my opinion is highly unwatchable. I tried watching it for a first few movies and then I found a way to see whether it's worth my time.

Fast Forwarding movie to random scenes: I had an opportunity to fast forward movie to select some random scenes to see whether the acting improves. To no surprise scenes are unwatchable.

Why I stopped watching this: The reason is simple - flat acting, poor budget, cheap looking and hastily selected environment for filming. There is nothing redeemable about how actors play.

I understand perfect that it is basically a hobby project a movie made by amateurs for amateurs. It's Simply not worth it.

Try to fast forward to random scenes and see whether you like it.

I rented this on VUDU for a family movie night, and all of us very much enjoyed it! For a production of this budget it has a good amount of action, with a cast who gives it their all and quite a few surprising bits of humor. 'Sirona' has elements reminiscent of an ensemble action film like 'The Losers', but it has even closer comparisons to TV shows like 'Firefly'. It feels like a pilot episode of a series rather than a feature film, with an ending that is more of a setup for a sequel than a resolution of the mystery surrounding the title character - but it does a good job of making you want to see where the next installment leads. Cast and crew should be proud of what they've done here, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the filmmaker does next after this laudable debut effort.
