Them

This film explains nothing, and both really happens either. There is no plot.

Like it says humans cannot see them anymore, but it doesn't even remotely hint at what "them" are. They were apparently human once? What happened? Like I don't expect to be "spoon fed" even, but sometimes a little bit more story or explanation can make a film make a lot more sense.

Like I get that the stiff acting could be down to them trying to be "off human". But there is so much people standing at windows looking out talking with stiff awkward lines.

About THEM: I hate to dismiss films out of hand but, as an educated viewer, I need more for a satisfying movie experience. I'm a big believer in the notion that in the dramatic arts, showing is better than telling. THEM neither shows nor tells. Note to the filmmakers: A little bit of exposition is not only OK, it's practically required if your business is storytelling.

That sums up my chief complaint with this entire effort: There's no story. I'm not opposed to the occasional foray into Absurdism, but that's not what this is. WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF has a story. A DOLL'S HOUSE has a story. Even WAITING FOR GODOT has more of a story than this, and if not a lot more story then certainly a lot more purpose. Everything-is-meaningless-nothing-is-real-life-is-but-a-dream surrealist drivel isn't enough. Simply put, there's just no takeaway here.

The most basic expectation people have when they invest their time in any creative endeavor is that the creators will make some kind of a coherent, discernable point. One gets the feeling the makers are trying, hence two stars. But if there's a point here, I've missed it, and as one not given to missing the point, I'm left to conclude that it's either absent or the filmmakers aren't capable of communicating it.

Like most are saying, it's pretty poor. However, its inability to explain what it is about is its biggest, to put it mildly, flaw, though it has many others. The cinematography is interesting now and then and I thought the somewhat odd performance by Sindri Swan sort of worked. A sci-fi film about some sort of alternate universe (I think) with humans and other humans who used to be humans, though I don't have a clue what they would be called, but "real" humans can't see them. Got that?! I'm not sure I did and I'm also not sure what I just wrote is correct. It has scenes of interest, but only because you don't know what they mean. I don't suggest you watch this.

This nonsensical film is really quite bad. Allegedly science fiction, it tries to be some kind of morality play about human obliviousness. It just doesn't work. I highly recommend that you avoid this snooze-fest.

I am a sucker for movies with poor reviews. Sometimes one finds a diamond in the rough that maybe other people just didn't "get" or they didn't appreciate a truly amazing "bad" movie. This is NOT THAT MOVIE. The production values are fine. As far as writing and plot? Worse than The Happening. Nothing...and I mean nothing...actually happens. There is no explanation of the premise. I promise that you will never find out what the supposedly non-humans now are or what plans they have, if any. I felt like someone made me watch Waiting for Godot as an 8 year old, except I was probably less invested in the characters. This is an hour and a half of your life that you WILL NOT ever get back. Please learn from my poor judgement.
