Madelines

RATED 7/10 Language: English

Bit amateur sci-fi drama mixed with horror actions. Its childish st some places and master class in some paces. Kind of mixed bag with some good idea. It was bit slow in the beginning but the pace is watchable after that. Liked the climax very well.

One time watchable.

Madeline (Brea Grant) and Owen (Parry Shen) are a couple working on time travel for investor Rory Devonshire (Richard Riehle). The successful small project develops a flaw in the code which generate a new version of Madeline every day. They have to take care of every new Madeline.

This indie has an interesting concept. Its microscopic budget holds it back. This wants to be funny, but the execution is not there. The directing is weak. The timing is off. It is trying so hard to punch above its weight. In the end, it is obviously unable to get there. I do like Brea Grant in her multiple versions.

First thought was yeah, more of Brea Grant, that would be awesome. However, as the movie progressed, the more I realised that there should only be one Brea Grant! It's a fun little movie, a bit slow on the pace and comedic value, but worth a watch.

OK Low budget but still... 100+ bodies dead but no explanation as to what they do with those bodies before the benefactor provides a dump truck.

All new madalines are created from a single incidence. The protagonists are moving through time one day at a time, supposedly the madalines returning from the future have been into the future and are returning to the protagonist timeline, each one, one day later than the previous one. It doesnt make sense that each new madeline is returning one day later. It doesnt make sense that some madalines die in the future but each new day a new madeline turns up. It doesnt make any sense that each madeline returning from the future returns one day later even though the new madalines were created 60 seconds apart.

If there are 3600 in the future and each one has to wait an extra day than the previous before returning, what are all those future madalines eating.

The Script has holes The sound is OK The Photography is ok The Acting is hammy

Its a passable watch 👍👎

The writers watched Primer and went "Ok, let's steal this, but make it dumber, so nobody notices." It's slow, the plot goes nowhere, and it's unoriginal. Even by low budget, indie standards, it's bad.

Seriously, rather watch the original they plagiarised this from.
