Featured reviews
Astounding feat: The first half-hour of the movie presents the main actress trying to find her sister. A complete banal and monotonous way to open a film with the first 35 minutes (!!) filled with walking around thru nothings and the nerve-racking ineptitude of the actress to have sex with her man.
Plot review: It is an amazing silliness with grotesque and pointless annoying shots after that blank 35 minutes. The movie tries to offer a miscellany of alien conspiracy theories and weirdo scientific experiments but only delivers confusion, commonplaces, poorly conceived interactions and a horrific bad experience to the viewer.
Big question: How this script found funding is an enigma to me.
Conclusion: Avoid this one for the sake of your time.
Was it about alien abduction or was it about MILF trying to find herself in this huge world of ours? I really did not get it.
If you are looking for a good film about alien abductions, well this is not a film about it. I think it is more about MILF trying to find what is beyond.
Please do not watch this film. Waste of time.
I want to take this opportunity to ask US government and especially President Obama to use his last two years in office to disclose everything about aliens and what is the truth and what is not. Since he will have nothing better to do in his lame duck period, I think it will be a perfect opportunity to make himself even more famous if he disclose EVERYTHING known to the public. Public can take it.
Some laughable attempts at arty slow burning shots that are shot down to pieces with the cheesiest music that has ever passed my ears. Naff dialogue, and a lamentably shocking storyline amplify the bad factor exponentially. I can tell you, root canal treatment is marginally less uncomfortable than sitting through this rubbish.
I have asked myself several times WHY? Why did anyone bother to make this film? So heed this warning carefully, do not watch this film as it so bad it will leave you with ectoplasm for brains.
The proposed plots presented along the way were all great snippets that didn't go together. So I really wish they had gotten a story worked out before making the film.
But some of the snippets were awesome, leaving me so disappointed that the movie didn't make sense in the end. Obviously, other reviewers were enraged by this as well. And every movie maker should know the number 1 way to ruin a film is by having a make-your-own ending for the viewer to come up with 'cause there really wasn't one.
Still, I found it to be great horror honestly.
Short version: It REALLY looks like they took a bad 10-15 minute short, and blew it up to the length it has now. And this is not a cute way to describe the quality, but probably what *really* happened here.
Long version: After seeing it, I was asking myself two questions: What were they even going for, what was this supposed to be? And why did nobody stop them and why didn't they at least try to improve it?
And to me, it seems obvious, that at some point they did become aware of the fact, that they can't rescue it, and went into "lets get it over with" mode, and they did the worst thing possible: They made countless "playing for time" shots to get the length: Without plot, dialog, action, effects or *anything* happening.
Additionally they tried to take the mystery ("what did really happen?") route, but at the same time, everybody - the audience and all characters - know what happened from the beginning. While the characters try to find out "what happened", they literally say what happened.
Lost Time could have been a more or less good 10 minute short. What were they thinking? There were established actors and crew involved, why didn't they stop this madness? I can't stress this enough: Most parts really look like they were made on one weekend literally without any screenplay with the objective "we need another 45 mins, and we need it as cheap and fast as possible".
