Reviews
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
sportyrich2000 Let's be honest my expectations were low but they were not achieved. I presume this is a student film that has been released in the hope of securing funding for future film projects. As such any producers or companies out there wishing to invest please think again and maybe donate to the Fund for the Conservation of the Dodo, your money will go to less waste.It's hard to blame the actors who work with a script that has been obviously written using a piece of script generation software from a bargain bin in a supermarket. At times the script does work, in particular when it is covered over by the noisy clicks of the microphone being moved. This is when the script is at it's best. Along with when the actors aren't speaking at all.The effects are particularly impressive using a technique known as 'Shit'. One shot of a body riddled with holes is so obviously an actor laying under a sheet of plastic with bullet holes painted on. This would be classed as genius if it weren't so horribly ineffective. The giant wheels are actually probably the only moderately good special effect in the film with a couple of 'money' shots ($2 each I guess) being passable. However most of the other shots are just magnified close ups of spinning wheels.Now on to the bad bits and I will write these as instructions from a non-film maker to a group of film makers: Showing someones feet running down a sidewalk for 2 minutes every 5 minutes does not convey empty streets, it conveys a sidewalk. Why did you not just close another street using yellow tape and show a long shot but next time hide the yellow tape! A close up someones eyes does not give the impression of fear. What it put in my mind was...she's now got more make up on despite being in the middle of 'Invasion of the Spinning Wheels' Sticking a drill bit onto the end of a piece of sprayed grey plastic is probably not as terrifying as it reads. Actually it doesn't read particularly terrifying either.Zombies are not made more terrifying by having them hold their hands up and making their hands into claws by bending their fingers...while gurgling.Showing The Statue of Liberty 6 miles away across water with tourists milling about it does not make me feel like this is an invasion of New York. It makes me think its an invasion of the docks near New York.So in conclusion, and specifically to the film makers. Well done, nice try and let's be honest you gave it a go. Now go off and get nice little jobs as supervisors in supermarkets or accountants but please if you want to work in the film industry could I suggest....ushers?
DenverMason I got this movie at a video rental closeout sale for $5...it was a waste of money. The framing is horrible, brutal acting, a very weak script and the audio...I don't even have an adjective to describe the audio. Most of the film has music that is way too loud, and dialogue that is way too quite, and sound effects that are downright distracting. I recommend if you are to watch this, have the remote close by to adjust audio, since the editor obviously doesn't know how to. The special effects are, well, special...very special. Blood effects look like they are taken from a discounted stock footage library, and those weird rolly ball things are very confusing, they add nothing to the movie and look like they took the longest to make. And the one explosion that I saw(I might have missed some, I fell asleep for about half an hour) wasn't bad, but it was followed with a stupid line. "Boo ya, b*tches" Now to talk about the extras, they are wearing street clothes, or no shirt at all, and run around like pathetic zombies. I thought this was an alien movie, now there's zombies. Also, pointless nudity throughout, probably just there to sell tickets. Don't fall for it, Google was invented for a reason.This movie is a general waste of time, and I would not recommend it to my worst enemy.
tkaera01 I was at a friends house and he was watching this, After 15 minutes, surprised I lasted that long, I made an excuse to leave early. Other friends were not so lucky they got stuck watching the whole thing, they later rang and abused me for not giving them an out as well.. I will not even call it a MOVIE. The Machines, big ugly Gyroscopes, had no big effect to the show and should have been left out all together. From what they told me the Zombies were worst than the original George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead zombies. The so called nanobots they kept talking about would have been more believable if they showed from time to time an internal view of a persons body as it slowly became the victim and thus lose control of their body, this would at least have given an insight to what the producer was trying to imply instead of one minute normal, next blood dripping from the eye sockets and chasing after blood.
daduka83 This must be the cheapest and most terrible movie I've ever seen... When you see a title "Battle: New York, Day 2, you probably expect alien invasion movie, but this is a far away from it.. Yes there are aliens, reincarnated into some Plastic turning wheels that's being magnified so cheaply... The acting in this ""let's call a movie" is so terrible and unrealistic it makes me hit a wall with my head repeatedly.. Really, don't throw your money, or your bandwidth trying to download this peace of crap.... OMG, when I remember the sounds from this crap.. It's just unbelievable... If they had filmed the whole thing with a cellphone camera it would probably be better and with more quality... I can't waste any more words on this..
