Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible
Freaktana A Major Disappointment
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
DowntonR1 Intriguing, so I stayed with it, but pretty much unintelligible storyline interspersed with slightly lame fight sequences. By the end, you might think, was it worth staying with? Noel Clarke the actor can't complain, cos he directed and co wrote it.
richielamport Basically,a good idea spoilt by lacklustre acting and a plot that was kind of all over the place
barry-steers After seeing the movie and reading the reviews I can say that some comments are fair to this film. The premise is very much lifted from Total Recall and Memento with an amnesiac finding out who he is and why he's in the locations he wakes up in. The movie really falls apart as it really should have been produced on a much bigger budget. Doing this on a small budget results in little sets, sparse actors & extras plus limited CGI. This results in the audience being constantly underwhelmed by scenarios and situations that should really be a wow factor. Fight scenes for example seem to be there mostly to fill time and are slowed down for supposed effect but really they show just poor choreography.Noel is not actually a very good actor to be fair so this is more a vanity project as another reviewer pointed out. The ending of the movie was very trite and clumsy but to be honest, a lot of the movie was that. To summarise, a big budget movie done on a small budget results in the feeling of being let down.
dapgicc I have seen a lot of indie movies. And seen a lot of high budget movies that are bad as well. And this movie is totally watchable in my opinion.No it is not a great movie by any means. The acting is "good". meaning it could have been better, but it was acceptable throughout the movie...The problem with this movie is how it is telling it's story. This kind of movie has the "it had great potential" but unfortunately has it's flaws.When you watch this, you will be asking yourself a lot of questions, like how or why.. And at the end, you feel like there is huge plot hole. I would love to give some examples, but i really want you to watch the movie yourself, and fill in the blanks yourself."Should i watch this movie?" : YES. "Is the story good?" : YES, but lacks explanation.
