Mad Jack - Travelling Forbidden Dimensions

If I could give a zero I would. I watch A lot of movies, I like to have something on while I work so I watch anything pretty much. I have watched some bad B movies but even those I at least finished. I really tried to just leave this on while I was work for background noise but it was so bad I couldn't even do that. Really Really bad acting, lame plot (expected in bad movies), and the effects I could have done in my basement better. I got through about 20 minutes before I had to turn it off. Any of the positive reviews on this must be from someone that was a part of the movie. This is not some style movie, this is just a really bad one. The kids in our local high school plays act much better. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME

This is clearly a college project, in the same way that THX 1138 is, but lower quality. It tries too hard to be 'artsy', and most of those involved are just beginning their careers (check out the credits). The plot was nonsensical, and no attempt was made to justify or reconcile it, or to make it more clear. THX 1138 was, at times, hard to follow. This is impossible to follow throughout. Poorly written, poorly acted, poorly directed, and the SFX would be B-budget even in the 90's. The music was eminently forgettable, sounding like something one might in the bargain bin of a giant warehouse store. One should not pay to see this movie as it is wholly unwatchable. Two other movies that are equally bad are The Galaxy Invader (1985) and Rock n' Roll Space Patrol (2005). However, these two are worse than their IMDb rating and are not college artsy projects.

It'd be hard to spoil this movie since it really gives up having a plot about a third of the way through. Or at least plot is a very very very background element.

The attention is then given the visuals which when it isn't showing off its atrocious editing (which is most of the time) are OK, and you can certainly see the Mad Max inspiration. But when the atrocious editing shines through well... well put it this way, definitely not recommended for anyone with epilepsy.

The acting quality is not very good either. Most of the characters are underacting and not displaying emotions well, making it difficult to get invested. Especially a problem when the torture of the main character becomes a plot point. One character's over-acting is the only saving grace, providing at least some levity in a movie seriously lacking in humour.

In conclusion. Not recommended, to anyone.

If a group of Junior High School students with no discernible artistic talent decided to create, produce and act in a movie using only a Handicam and a pirated copy of iMovie then this is the movie that they would make.

I would not say that this movie was awful because it would have to really strive for an upgrade in quality to rise to the ranks of awful. Full of rubber Halloween masks, Junior High drama club acting and a heavy handed score that I am absolutely certain had to be ripped off from elsewhere because finding any sort of talent in this movie would be an amazement.

I watched only 15 minutes and that was 14 minutes too many. This piece of crap is a tribute to incompetent people everywhere who have no clue whatsoever as to their true lack of talent. I wish the the writers, actors,directors and film crew well in their future careers in the fast food industry.

EDIT (5-17) I see that one of the actors involved in this train wreck has shown up, identified themselves as such and - unsurprisingly - given the film a 10 star review. 10 stars?? Seriously ???? ! Ugh :( She also mentions that the film was supposed to emulate the camera shooting style of the 1980's. FAIL! I was alive during the 1980's. I know the 1980's and this movie Ma'am has nothing to do with the 1980 - shooting style or otherwise.

I also forced myself to watch the entire movie. If anything it gets worse after 15 minutes - much worse. It's like an interactive horror movie where the real horror is you watching your screen in bored disbelief.

Edit Part Deux: I see that yet another person associated with the production of this unmitigated disaster has come online to call this a "loving homage to 80's films". This is as much a loving homage to 80's films as much as Hannibal Lechter was a loving homage to fava beans. The film has nothing to do with the 80's and is only a homage to horrid film-making everywhere. In that it excels. If you pirated this film be sure to send the makers of this stinker a bill for your bandwidth because they owe you - they owe you bigtime.

This is my 1076th rating and the worst of all.... So bad that I have to write about it my first review.

I am a big fan of : - time travel movies (all of them except this one), - B movies (such as Bad Taste), - Z movies (such as The Toxic Avenger or Rollergator) I can even find some stuff interesting in teen movies. BUT THAT ! No !

There is something insulting to provide such a bad piece of work. No taste, No vision, No style, No interest, No feeling, No fun, Nothing at all.

It looks like dady's kid got a camera for chrismass and use his student money to pay one or two friends pretending to act while occasionally film them naked. pathetic.

Even "Night Train to Mundo Fine" and "Independence Daysaster" were better.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ! (Yes Writing in all-uppercase characters is considered "SHOUTING" but can not be avoided in this case).
