Lumina

Gino McKoy's Lumina is a shining example of what science fiction can achieve when it's handled with care, creativity, and an eye for detail. From the moment the film begins, it's clear that McKoy has a strong vision, one that combines stunning visuals with a narrative that challenges the viewer to think deeply about the nature of reality and existence. This isn't just another sci-fi movie filled with flashy special effects and shallow plotlines. Instead, Lumina offers something much more substantial and thought-provoking. The story of Lumina revolves around complex themes of consciousness, identity, and the fabric of reality itself. These are heavy topics, but McKoy handles them with a deft touch, weaving them into a narrative that is both engaging and emotionally resonant.

I went to watch this movie 'lumina' in a theatre in Wahington DC. The movie was very good as it's cast was very good, the main chracter tatiana (Eleanor Williams) is very good actor has she was very good in this role, I was amazed to watch this movie I have watched a sci fi movie after a long time which has both good chracters, good story, and good animations. This movie was totally good as I felt that it is not a movie it's all happening in real world, Out of all odds the director, writer, producer Gino McKoy is very good man as it is very difficult in current time to make a sci fi movie during this time.

Lumina is a sci-fi masterpiece that goes beyond visual spectacle. Gino McKoy's film offers a profound exploration of existence and identity, wrapped in a visually breathtaking package. The slow pacing might deter some, but it allows for a richer, more immersive experience. With strong performances and a narrative that invites deep reflection, Lumina is a must-watch for fans of thought-provoking cinema. The story of Lumina is one of its most compelling features. At its core, the film explores themes of consciousness, identity, and the nature of reality - topics that have long fascinated philosophers and scientists alike.

I suppose I should start with the positives, there aren't many so this shouldn't take long. The cinematography is rather good in some parts. And that....is that.

Everything else is terrible. The script. The plot. The acting. The screenplay. The direction. The editing. The CGI. The music. All of it objectively bad. Not poor, but really bad.

The worst thing about it is the unstructured, uninteresting meandering nature of the film. It is just a collection of scenes that mean nothing.

The characters and their relationship to each other is non existent.

You always know a bad movie when Eric Roberts turns up to collect his pension. Although he was in The Dark Knight, so I will cut him some slack.

Film starts with a lot of potential, but after about 20 mins it really takes a dive. Plot, script, acting, makeup, location, editing, continuity all dive very low and the originally promising elements evaporate and a low low really low budget poorly thought out and painfully lacking flick emerges. I'm currently 1 hour 15 mins in and I am not sure I can watch any more of it.

If you try it, about 20 mins in when you get to the cop by the pool delivering his line , you'll see the film for what it really is. A disappointing cringeworthy effort (or lack of it).

The stuff that gets through selection for Prime is becoming a joke. A bad one at that.
