The five minute opening bridge sequence of this film may be one of the most realistic and overwhelmingly exciting in motion picture history. And that is only the start. With electric intensity the suspense continues to build and the horror eventually reaches an unendurable climax. Unmatched special effects work and cinematography of Oscar caliber will have the individual viewer fighting for breath as an outstandingly written script goes for the jugular. Beautifully and skillfully directed with an exciting cast of young actors you will be seeing much more of in the future, this is not only the best entry in this franchise. It is also a truly magnificent motion picture of incredible proportions on its own and could hardly be more highly praised.

There is no doubt that this is the most superbly directed, excellently written, and stunning film of the year and deserved every single accolade it received. Smith is an imaginative, insightful, and supremely talented director and this is his best work so far. What is most amazing about what he does with this motion picture is that he gets the most powerful performances from his cast than they have given in years. Goodman and Parks especially shine in their respective roles and are absolutely incredible. Neither has never been better. The imagery Smith offers the audience can never be forgotten and will haunt viewers for decades. Red State is one of those rare motion pictures that win awards because they actually deserve them and not because of Hollywood hype.

Take one of the better science fiction films of the the past, add an even more intelligent script, superb direction, and excellent production values and you have this stunning remake of the 1984 Philadelphia Experiment. The cast includes some of the best actors of our time doing work that is nothing less than breathtaking. The combination of star power, great special effects, fabulous twists on the original plot, and the backing of Syfy results in a sure-fire hit that should receive a much higher rating than it does here. Fans of the original will welcome this production and the inclusion of familiar faces from the 1984 classic. This is science fiction as it is meant to be: smart, well produced, and with a cast that is undeniably one of the finest assembled for any film project.
