Review Time: this
film is poor.
Fundamental elements: there are words
and numbers on screen, background music, cultural elements, slow-motion
effects, voice-over elements, time jumps and place jumps.
I
have to say generally speaking my interest in this title quickly got less and
less, even though I am trying to be balanced in this review as I am in every
other review; but this film is here, there and everywhere and don't get me
wrong in the later stages it does pull itself together to make it something
solid [I will be discussing this more in the next paragraph, but from a
different perspective.]
Storyline: now as
I was saying the fundamental elements and the movement of this title doesn't
help things, but I think the storyline has to take some of the responsibility
itself as well. I mean we don't get much background, yes little bits here and
there, but other than that not much and whilst I'm on the subject; there is
this big question-mark at the end of this title of what happen next?
Now
for some strange reason, if I am going to sit through this 116 minutes project
I want more than this big question-mark for an ending. On reflection even
though yes this title feels solid later on, it now gives off the impression
that they had to get to a certain point to finish this title on [or at the very
least this idea cannot help but cross your mind after seeing it and taking time
to think about it,] I didn't think about it until now to be fair.
Action sequences/Science-fiction elements: there is a workout element, training, weapons being used,
vehicles and things that are either choppers or something to this effect and
for one example there is a drop in of a hand grenade into a swimming pool.
The
science-fiction elements are okay they serve their purpose, if I had to point
out something for you to look out for when or if you come to watch this
project, I could be wrong about this; it would be where this smaller alien ship
sections itself off and away from this bigger alien ship.
Character developments/Performances: the character developments are mostly poor to something
okay, I mean some of these characters have an issue [I can't talk about that
too much it is a point in the storyline] and I do understand the sensitive
nature of it, but what is happening in the bigger picture right here and right
now is much, much, much more of a bigger problem than this issue.
Moving
on to the performances; I think it would be unfair of me to say they are poor,
because of the character developments and the dialogue exchanges are briefly
okay and our lead character/performer holds this film together.
This film receives:
1/10, now I have seen this title unless I lose this review somehow, I would be
quite happy not to see ever again.
