The Last Boy on Earth

So this film is very very confusing. It is essentially 100 trailers to 100 completely different sci-fi films to horror and all between. A story never unfolds, every clip lasts about 5 minutes. Some are ridiculously weird and overall it was a complete waste of time just like reading a kafka story for example. The serial killer robot was hilarious. Seriously, he was trying to be all serious explaining how a serial robot was accidentally created - haha that should be checked out by any sci-fi buff. Although only a 5 minute segment, that clip had potential to be the next chucky franchise. The rest, although a lot of money had been spent on the sets, costumes and special effects they are just a random mash of nonsense. Still I sat through it scratching my head through but I have to admit I was never bored or tempted to turn it off.

Even knowing that this was a collection of shorts, I still stopped watching as the second short began. The first short seemed to be set in the Blade Runner universe but the characters were depressingly bad with no interesting story element to make it worth it. The next story lost me when it started taking about prophesy. Basically, it started with boring stories with confusing cuts of the kid mixed in. It was a chore to get through even as far as I did. I had no desire to wade through the sludge with the potential of no payoff. I have tried that with too many bad movies. So I stopped early but was still very frustrated.

Wow what a stinking pile of shizzz this was....

1 star for special effects is the only positive reaction to this.

The misleading premise that this is a cohesive film is incredibly irritating from the beginning. If there were actual stories that lead to anything interesting i'd call them stories but they are meaningless, mindless crap attempts at sci fi in a short form.

How many? 7 of them I think, most of them seem to attempt to join together as one cliche to the next.

When I got through the first one I was wondering what is going on? Like... umm... is this movie going to just keep introducing new characters and not build or lead to anything? It seemed exhausting getting through the first short without receiving some kind of cash reward from the filmmakers.

Sci Fi is such an amazing genre and this abuse seems to continue with amateur filmmakers.

With a budget this big somebody should have known at some stage that this film is a waste of time to make.

For me it would have been seeing the screenplay is essentially blank pages, no substance at all.

The bad reviews not rely on the quality of the Short-Compilation, they display the dissapointment that it was not a movie like expected.

If you know that this are only shorts you will like most of them! They are not low-budget and habe good effects and even BlackMirror-like content. I dont like all stories and don't see a connection between them all but 4 or 5 of the 6 I really enjoyed, so this bad rating is just not fair and just unfair emotions of people who didn't know what they will get. Especially number one is a nice short-movie and have a very good athmosphere. Please leave a review to balance out this unfair bad rating.

I assumed this was a full length movie. The story kept on changing but one constant was a boy in a room which it kept on going back to so the film was making no sense. All the scenes were well done with very good special effects all the actors were people i didnt know. Because it was a set of shorts and i wasn't aware it it made watching it really hard work a bit like watching a david lynch movie.

By the time I got to the end i still never worked out how the boy in the movie was tied to all the stories as i could not see a link. Its only when i saw the credits and it started listing all the different shorts directed by different people that i realised it wasn't one film.

This really sucks. If i had known going into it that it was a set of shorts i would have been happy to watch it and enjoyed it more but instead i was left wondering what on earth was going on and this ruined it. At this point i dont care what ties all the shorts to the boy in the room. Not worth wasting your time unless you like shorts.
