Granted, I am not overly keen on sci-fi movies, if it isn't "Star Wars". But still, I was given the chance to sit down and watch the 2012 movie "Paradox Alice", and since I had the time available, I decided to sit down and watch it.
Sure, I had not even heard of the movie, nor did I know who starred in it, much less knew what the movie was about. I knew it was a sci-fi movie, and that was about it.
Let me just say that "Paradox Alice" was not a movie that tickled me in any right places. I managed to endure 41 minutes of the movie before I called it quits and will never return to finish the movie. Actually, I was ready to quit about 30 minutes into it, but decided to give the movie a second chance, as it might just actually pick up and become interesting.
But it just didn't do so.
The storyline is mundane, bordering on being downright boring actually, and not enough happened in the 41 minutes I endured to make it the least bit interesting. And it didn't help the movie that the characters were flaccid, two dimensional, cardboard cutouts that simply blended into one another and you just didn't really invest anything into them.
As for the acting, then I will say that the actors and actresses were actually doing fair enough jobs with their given roles and characters, but it was a shame that they were held back by a lousy and mundane script.
For a sci-fi movie, then "Paradox Alice" was not an impressive gem. This movie came and went without leaving a mark on the sci-fi genre. And my rating of "Paradox Alice" is a three out of ten stars, solely based on the production level and the effort that they people put into making it.
