  • Cute Women

    The film for the first two acts wasn't awful for a very low budget indie. The three leads were cute and acted well enough to carry the basic story. It almost felt like Summer Lovers from long ago without Greece. To be honest that's where the movie should have gone. Summer's over no more fooling around. Of course, the narrative had a completely different slant which was harder to pull off. The 3rd act unraveled, and flaws in story, acting, character, effects, etc. Surfaced. I did finish it, so it earned 3 stars. I'd like to see what the future holds for the three leads, and director.

  • Not hardly as bad as expected

    I missed this one, and I usually catch all Predator films. This one is done by Shane Black who was the first kill in the original. I thought the players weren't bad or chosen badly. I also think the story wasn't half bad. Certainly some of the dialogue was half baked. The action sequences were mostly computer done, but not terrible. There was enough money to get the ships, and human insertion into scenes serviceable. The Predators themselves weren't awful, but you could tell they weren't top notch like seen in bigger budget fare. It even had a half decent ending which Shane I think assembled a watchable movie for Predator fans. Keep in mind some of it comes off as a tv movie, but that's expected with cutting corners, and not the best of the best in the industry involved. I was always say there's a couple of interesting takeaways with these films no matter how bad. With this one there's not much. No real new tech, but it had a view of ship internals, Predator close-up without vest etc.

  • Well Done Film

    This is one of my favorite films. I rewatch it often. Getting one thing out of the way. I do not care about Tom's personal life. To me you either like watching his films, or you don't. I'm not judging this film based on technical accuracy. It's science fiction after all, and it's bound to have some mistakes. I just don't want bad production value, and this film is excellent like many of Cruise's films. The supporting cast is also good. The like the basic story, and settings as well. It makes me feel something at the end which is ultra-important to me. The soundtrack is also very good. To me, at its core it's a love story with the Earth in peril from aliens as a backdrop.

  • Pretty Bad

    It was probably made for 12 yo's. I watched at first, because I knew from the title and short description it would be about a demented child which are fun to watch for me. It ended up being an amateur level production experience. By amateur I mean it was actors and a production at very basic levels. I stuck with it because I like seeing how hard it is to be good at writing and acting when you see people who aren't very good, but want to be. Who knows you might see someone early in their career, and end up in real movies or popular tv shows. You got to start somewhere. The little girl in this gets mad over and over when she loses her father's undivided attention or doesn't get what she wants. It was probably made for $50,000 the whole thing.

  • It's never been picked up or distributed

    This proposed series has been in the works for half a decade. It's never been shown or even previewed by the public. It is my understanding interviews took place, and other material assembled, but after a very long development phase it never found its way to broadcast. The interviews are fairly old by now, and funding came about in part by crowd-sourcing. I'd like to see it anyway so I hope it finds some channel of distribution.

  • Get ready for a ride

    I happened across this in my favorite way. A blind reference to the title on Facebook, and decided to give it a go. I usually don't like Lovecraft adaption because they tend to be too gross and confusing visually. This one didn't let me down, but the treatment with the special effects and acting was stellar. The sound was magnificent. Do yourself a favor if you like sci-fi, and especially Lovecraft, and see this one in the best venue you can find for picture and sound quality. Nick Cage and others are terrific. I'm leaving the narrative in the clear, and so should you if you haven't looked into it already. It's more fun that way.
