    Seeing is Believing

    Matt Thompson, the young writer/director's attention to detail and depth-of-field storyline makes the Night Sight movie a must see. You are quickly immersed in the emotional despair of what might have been, that can easily knock down any person. But the film's main character, Rich Hadley, accidentally learns leading edge technology coupled with traditional human beliefs may yield devastating consequences. With time running out, Rich must fit the Night Sight puzzle pieces together to see the evolving picture.

    I encourage movie fans to follow this young production crew, many outstanding projects are in their future.

    Amazing production

    Director made this when he was 17 years old. The story is captivating and very enjoyable. Quite amazing to see young talent put together a production like this.

    Night Sights: Heavily shilled nonsense

    Let's get something clear, this being written by a 17 year old is fairly impressive so good job to the young fella. However, that doesn't take away from how dreadful Night Sights is.

    A grieving father witnesses something remarkable and *Yawn* sorry the plot is a jumbled mess of several other films but manages to not have a single redeeming moment throughout.

    Insanely boring, poorly paced and at no point does it actually go anywhere.

    It looks drab, it sounds drab, everyone involved looks bored and so was I from starting titles to closing credits.

    There really is nothing good to say about Night Sights at all, other than it's a masterclass of how not to make a movie.

    The Good:

    Nope

    The Bad:

    Unforgivably boring

    Has nothing going for it at all

    Dreadful finale

    Things I Learnt From This Movie:

    People who do shill reviews on IMDB should be aware of how stupid they make themselves look and how easy they are to identify

    This requires two ratings - the 2*s is for the movie

    Apparently, this was written and directed by a teenager. If so, it needs two reviews - one for it as a movie and one for the fact that the writer/director (already a warning) was so young.

    It's a bold stab at a simple but interesting idea but the inexperience shows through everywhere. Add the fact that he also edited it and that explains much about the shots and the pace. And that's what you're most likely to notice and keep wishing the story would just get a move on.

    But watch it knowing it was, apparently, created by a teenager and you have to marvel at his amazing abilities. However, impressive as they may be, they still don't manage to pull a good movie together but bear that in mind as you watch it and you may be forgiving enough to enjoy it.

    Great movie

    I thought Ryan andrews did a great job on this movie and it was pretty awesome watching it. The story was well edited and shot especially coming from a 17 year old. You can tell a lot of effort when into this movie and it all came together throughout the movie.

      (at around 7 mins) Photographs are taken with a 35mm SLR that doesn't have a motor drive attached, however the audio has the sound of a motor drive after each snap of the shutter.
