Defective

It was a fun little movie. It doesn't deserve all the low ratings from the syfy nerds on here.

It started out as an interesting idea of a movie with some nice costumes, then they just filled time with scenes that had no connection to the previous one and just couldn't be bothered with even making sense with what was beeing said and done. It's like holding a camcorder in your backyard and just saying lines to fill the time. With a bit of effort it could have been something watchable. This is an insult for people watching it.

The acting and fighting was the worst part. Best actor was the discount Chris Pratt. Props and costumes were awesome and there was some great great camerawork, still really showed the low budget. I somewhat enjoyed this film but wouldnt reccomend it unless this is your type of thing.

This film was based on a worn out theme with no new twist. The direction, acting and dialogue were very low quality. The foul language and graphical sadism added nothing to the story. No idea what the ending meant and I lost track of the dark haired women that kept appearing.

In general, it hits all the buttons of dystopian suspense, i.e. you quickly realize the plot is scratching along a well-mined seam. Some here whammy the acting, some the directing, or both. I think the directing and editing of closeups deserve the most criticism ... leaving actors, who are struggling with the concept of how to look stunned, confused, frightened ... or just thoughtful ... hanging up there on the screen for seemingly endless moments. Action movies need their moments of painful introspection, but this was out of control. Even in the midst of a hairy shoot-em-up you have people staring into space. A serious incomprehension of timing. Otherwise, yeah, if you love watching movies, and like sci-fi, I'd recommend this. Mediocre, yes, and it would probably deserve a 6 ... but when I find myself becoming aware of directing flaws while watching a movie, it's automatically down by 2. (BTW ... how in the world can people use a sci-fi flic as a launching pad for their political woof-woof, is beyond me. This site ain't FB.)
