Mount Adams

I didn't read about this movie before tuning in on YouTube but the premise seemed it might be interesting but really it was pretty predictable: Some folks go on a trip despite being warned of the danger, then predictably they encounter the danger and death and then try to survive. Honestly, I continued to watch just to see who would survive, and it turned out more than I would have expected. The movie says it's about aliens and monsters but there were only a couple of oversized flying insects and a bunch of dinosaurs with red eyes, and did not see any of the gore that usually accompanies such encounters. The one good thing I can say about the movie is that the production was sharp and easy to look at.

This movie is a clear example that anyone can make a film. This was so so so bad. It's tripe made for the sake of scamming people out of their money. When it releases on Prime for $1.99, I know its not a blockbuster. But I expect more than this. I cant think of a single compliment.

Soundtrack drove me nuts. Turned it off an hour in....

Wow, just what was this atrocity of a movie supposed to be?

First of all, the movie's cover/poster has the words "based on the true phenomenon" on it. True phenomenon? Dinosaurs with red eyes, huge bugs and spaceships? Sure, true phenomenon. Right...

Then there was the storyline. Wow. Are you kidding me? What were writers Tim Wade, Phillip Wade and Just B. Jordan thinking when they sat down to write the script and storyline for "Mount Adams"? It was just laughably ridiculous.

The acting in the movie was adequate for a movie such as this, and with taking the fact that the script was just god awful bad into consideration, then the actors and actresses weren't doing too shabby jobs actually. There weren't any familiar faces among the cast ensemble though.

Visually then I will actually say that "Mount Adams" wasn't bad. Sure, this wasn't top of the line Hollywood production CGI that will bedazzle you and blow you away. But the CGI effects and practical effects throughout the movie were actually fair enough.

However, the movie was just a swing and a miss in terms of being entertaining and enjoyable. And that was solely because of an inferior and downright stupid script and storyline.

My rating of "Mount Adams" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

Everyone has to start somewhere... yes... but you do a run , look back and amend as necessary or scrap it and start again. Sorry guys but this is awful in every way, from the padded coat as it was so cold whilst others having shorts on to such bad acting , bad sets, just bad everything, it's embarrassing. When you make a film like this, don't realise it until at least 30% of it is watchable.
