Jorge Ameer, Wayne C. Dees, and Oran Stainbrook in Altered Perceptions (2023)
A ripped from the headlines dystopian intergalactic supernatural thriller that parallels current event and the state of affairs around a post pandemic world were vaccines are being used as political currency to target vulnerable minorities. Things are starting to take a strange turn for the worse and something even more menacing is happening. Something so deadly and bizarre that it defies modern science and human logic.

    A poorly acted mess

    "Altered Perceptions" stumbles through its story with lengthy, redundant conversations likely to compel even its most charitable watchers to internally give up. It qualifies to become a late-night flick like Soylent Green, a poor take on a sci-fi nightmare or a bureaucratic parody targeting the intolerance of the folks in control. Get ready to have your psyche shattered.

    It may seem like a relevant, seductive, sci-fi brain-sweeper that is Jorge Ameer's most impassioned and edgy film so far, but it contains no rationality at all from one moment to another, with the situations scarcely even relating to one another. It may be one of the most explosive, hypnotic, sci-fi nail-biters since Demolition Man, spoofing natural tragedy and cultural criticism, but stuff becomes so faulty in the couple of hours it takes to watch this movie that real societal problems seem delightful by comparison. Still, that cannot be a valid justification to check out this movie. "Altered Perceptions" stages an overcomplicated tale that tries to mix types without any defined order, and it stumbles shy of its goals.

    One extra star for the naked guy, though, just because it's quite a choice.

    What if Covid Were Coded as a Hate Virus?

    We may think to ourselves that the people we disagree with are "sick." Why do they believe such absurd things? What makes them act so strangely, and too often violently?

    But what if all those people -- and more and more -- actually were sick with an unknown virus that turns the world on its head? This is the world of "Altered Perceptions."

    As the virus rapidly spreads, and the entire country reels from its effects, a family of two gay fathers and their adult son struggle to cope in an existence where friends can suddenly become enemies and alliances can shift because of a brain infection.

    The government and the health sector work on the growing problem, but as always, too slowly and inadequately. Can anything stop the spread?

    Director Jorge Ameer envisions the world of "Altered Perceptions" through the eyes of its gay protagonists, who are constantly in danger. He adds otherworldly special effects to the drama and includes a nude male Cassandra in the story.

    My perception is Altered.

    I met Jorge Ameer in the DVD section of a popular record store in Los Angeles, California. We had a great conversation about the movie industry. And to my surprise, he told me that he was, in fact, a film director and said I should check out his film Altered Perception.

    So I went home and watched it. Who would have thought a filmmaker could add anything new to the Sci-Fi genre? This movie does just that.

    Oran Stainbrook, Danny Fehsenfeld, and Matt Fling performed outstandingly in this film.

    Kudos to Jorge Ameer and his very ambitious independent film. I can't wait to see what he has in store next.

    An apocalyptic dark view of society!

    Imagine the events in this movie were taking place?! This is a different approach to society's doings, but with an actual realistic political perspective. What if the eldelry were commiting such crimes? We do live in a scary society controlled by politicians, which amongst everything else, they seek power.

    Altered Perceptions is such an interesting film worth watching. It is not your typical Hollywood film with action and story timeline.

    Wayne Dees is such a creative writer when it comes down to have an original Script. And Jorge Ameer is the eccentric experienced Director and artist that have this vision fulfilled. Watch it!

    Amateurish sci-fi thriller spent most of its budget on phony rave reviews

    The less said about this film the better. I gave it a ''2'' because it at least had some ambition...but ambition alone isn't enough to praise a film-- it has to deliver on that ambition to be worthwhile. And this film does not.

    However, a special commendation must be made to whomever was in charge of the PR for this film, since they evidently either convinced or paid-off a good amount of 'reviewers' to provide positive reviews on this site: of the 18 reviews posted, 16 of them are raves (most rating it a '10') and this is the only film they've ever rated. One person has a grand total of two, so they could be legit. And the one person who correctly blasts the film for its lack of quality (irazig) and gives it a 3/10 is the only authentic reviewer as they have multiple reviews.

    The general numeric average for the film is 3.7... That's the true value for it.
