Dark Cloud

I have no idea why the other reviews for this movie are so negative unless they're "planted" reviews. This was not, by any means, the worst movie I've ever seen, far from it. The plot develops slowly, but not unlike the plot for HAL 9000 in 2001 A Space Odyssey also developing slowly, with an inexorability that grows more and more disturbing as the movie progresses. I've seen plenty of movies with cheap/shoddy CGI and effects, but the effects in this movie were very well done and had a good sense of realism within the narrative. Lastly, I thought Alexys Gabrielle did a very good job of portraying her character. I've seen countless instances of actors/actresses obviously delivering lines they were uncomfortable with or simply had no idea how to do it with any degree of realism, but that is not the case here. I hope other people will give this movie ratings that are considerably more fair to the production quality that went into it.

This could have been a solid AI machine against human thriller except that it is there doesn't appear to be any cohesion between script, actor, director or editor.

In the end it plays out pretty much as you would expect.

Dark Cloud doesn't exactly reinvent the wheel but it uses it and my wife and I were entertained . The run time felt shorter like an episodic but it still paced good and maybe that isn't a bad thing. Do not watch it expecting it to be what we can see on the Poster cuz it isn't ghost in the shell or Matrix. I am glad I didn't see the poster first because I didn't know what to expect. It's definitely an independent feature and small but it knows it and does not make efforts to go big which works in its favor. . Ive seen a couple of the actors in other independent science fiction movies in festivals. The two guy characters are really weird and the lead actor is likable and I like it. The dialog isnt afraid to have a little bit of fun which assists in balancing out the grim vibes and that works. Its direction style fits right in with the Crohnenbergs, Fincher with splashes of Dario Argento literally there are splashes of argento colours and the score is really cool. It's a low key watch until the end and It is an ambitious independent movie. Not bad.

I really enjoyed Dark cloud. I found the characters to have more depth and strength to them compared to other Horror and Sci-Fi films I have seen, which was a great surprise. Some reviews have been saying it's boring-- to me, it was the complete opposite. It has eerie Black Mirror vibes, but additional layers that remind me of solid stage family dramas. The characters have unique and grounded qualities. I find the quiet moments just as effective as the more cinematic ones. That is not easy to do. HUGE fan of the color grade. Watch on a larger screen (rather than a laptop), if possible, and turn out your lights if you think it's "too dark". SO Worth it. Overall dynamic indy.

Movie develops very slowly and director tried to created a suspence so that one would expect something out of the odds is going to happens but believe me you guy will be disappointed.

I could not understand what was the point of movie, an AI got nuts... i guess, but still it fails to convey the objective of AI, may be AI has fallen in love with hostage girl after watchin her body naked, or AI dont like the control and update software thats why it used the girl to kill the technition and other crewmembers, script of the movie feel out of the subject along with initial story. It was not clear what kind of help girl needed from AI, if someone goes to therapist they dont keep secrets, if someone can figure out what this movie tried to convey share with me.
