The Last Boy on Earth

So this film is very very confusing. It is essentially 100 trailers to 100 completely different sci-fi films to horror and all between. A story never unfolds, every clip lasts about 5 minutes. Some are ridiculously weird and overall it was a complete waste of time just like reading a kafka story for example. The serial killer robot was hilarious. Seriously, he was trying to be all serious explaining how a serial robot was accidentally created - haha that should be checked out by any sci-fi buff. Although only a 5 minute segment, that clip had potential to be the next chucky franchise. The rest, although a lot of money had been spent on the sets, costumes and special effects they are just a random mash of nonsense. Still I sat through it scratching my head through but I have to admit I was never bored or tempted to turn it off.

IMOP this script had an awesome possibility. The actors were vg. Not sure what happened in on the editing or financial chopping block of budget, but again IMOP, this could have been awesome. I am a sci-fi fan, and this movie had several ways to be the new "Train to Busan".

Not sure what happened.

The script was split, but the actresses and actors were on point!

There was so much possibility from this film. The film was very good. However, the script as filmed seems " confused".

The lighting, vg, costumes, vg.

The bottom line is there were not the story, edited and shown in a smooth way.

The thief? The demons? The kid? No cohesive info in the film. Where there absolutely COULD have been.

Sad.

The bad reviews not rely on the quality of the Short-Compilation, they display the dissapointment that it was not a movie like expected.

If you know that this are only shorts you will like most of them! They are not low-budget and habe good effects and even BlackMirror-like content. I dont like all stories and don't see a connection between them all but 4 or 5 of the 6 I really enjoyed, so this bad rating is just not fair and just unfair emotions of people who didn't know what they will get. Especially number one is a nice short-movie and have a very good athmosphere. Please leave a review to balance out this unfair bad rating.

Wow what a stinking pile of shizzz this was....

1 star for special effects is the only positive reaction to this.

The misleading premise that this is a cohesive film is incredibly irritating from the beginning. If there were actual stories that lead to anything interesting i'd call them stories but they are meaningless, mindless crap attempts at sci fi in a short form.

How many? 7 of them I think, most of them seem to attempt to join together as one cliche to the next.

When I got through the first one I was wondering what is going on? Like... umm... is this movie going to just keep introducing new characters and not build or lead to anything? It seemed exhausting getting through the first short without receiving some kind of cash reward from the filmmakers.

Sci Fi is such an amazing genre and this abuse seems to continue with amateur filmmakers.

With a budget this big somebody should have known at some stage that this film is a waste of time to make.

For me it would have been seeing the screenplay is essentially blank pages, no substance at all.

Even knowing that this was a collection of shorts, I still stopped watching as the second short began. The first short seemed to be set in the Blade Runner universe but the characters were depressingly bad with no interesting story element to make it worth it. The next story lost me when it started taking about prophesy. Basically, it started with boring stories with confusing cuts of the kid mixed in. It was a chore to get through even as far as I did. I had no desire to wade through the sludge with the potential of no payoff. I have tried that with too many bad movies. So I stopped early but was still very frustrated.
