Blood Machines

Appallingly bad dialogue,cookie cutter tropes and some overdirected performances all played dead straight for 50minutes. As a piece of storytelling it's simply terrible,but the effects look cool and well made and Carpenter Brut's music slaps. It'll give it a 5 for those as a pity score cause otherwise this is really dull and pathetic to watch.

I like the 80's vibes, music, production art and design is superb, even actors are pretty cool and it all could have gone as smooth as "Beyond the Aquila Rift " , but the script is below average and that is where I'd want to put a 7 but I'll put a 6, if you are into spaceship sci fi and art , you will enjoy it in a certain way, everyone else will just see flashy lights...

The plot is thin, almost nonexistent (2/10) acting is over and wooden. Visual style is very original, creative and amazing (10/10). Beats standard unimaginative Marvel blockbusters in that respect.

This feels more like demo than finished film. Creator should get good writer, story and maybe director before creating the next movie. There is only so far you can go with only visuals.

The imagery and atmosphere of this mini-series is jaw-dropping. Think Blade Runner meets Mandy meets Star Wars, and you'll have an idea (sort of) of what this is.

Beyond that, the plot is borderline nonsensical. It has to do with an AI manifesting as a weird demigod entity, and I'm sure there's some kind of commentary embedded in it that has to do with humanity's relationship to machines/religion/etc., but it's way too abstract.

Ultimately, this movie is best experienced as a visual feast, and that's about it. If you try to extract anything larger from it, you'll get caught up in an endless game of "maybe this is symbolism" that doesn't really go anywhere.

I'd love to see what this director could do with a well written script.

This needed to be 30 minutes overall. The vfx and atmosphere were great, but there was no coherent story. I still didn't understand what was really going on in there.
