Cryo

Some people wake up in a bunker with their memories in tatters - I love this kind of thing.

It is obvious by the lighting and sets that this is on a bit of a tight budget - but also that the budget has been spent well and their are some talented people involved in this.

The same goes with the acting -everyone is doing a pretty good job.

A totally watchable film.

Unfortunately it is much, much, much too long.

Every time a clue is found, shining some light on the mystery, a piece of salient information is always missing rendering the clue useless.

A viewer can only go through this so many times before they lose interest.

The story plays out like a social deduction board game: a lot of the scenes are people in a room screaming "No you're the traitor!" at each other.

Add the mental instability of the characters and it soon becomes apparent that any dialogue is just a waste of time.

There was an ending, which was ok, but by then I was just glad this was finally over and I really couldn't care less what happened to the characters.

I think a sleeker, cut down edit of this film could really work.

Low budget but good ideas. The executive producer did a really good job with this. I can't wait to see what this team produces in the future ... they are only going to get better.

As a directorial debut for a full length film (at least according to IMDB) not too bad. Yeah, but not really good either. It goes back to my biggest pet peeve ... it starts with the script. Some of the 'short' cuts you can take in shorts (the directors' prior efforts) do NOT translate. Or to say it another way, part of the movie experience is about the suspension of disbelief. If the viewer is constantly distracted by words, actions, and situations that do not make sense, they are going to leave. This script is full of problems, which is sad. The script is the single cheapest way to make a bad movie good ... or if unwilling to put in the time and effort, to make a potential good movie a dud.

Yeah, there appears to be some thespiatic talent, and the cinematography has potential. But its not there yet, and its not good enough to fix a flawed script.

And for those of you wondering how this movie received so many good reviews, do some quick research. MANY of the 7/8/9/10 stars are from accounts that have only provided a single ranking, just for this movie. So one or more of the crews' friends thought botting this movie would be a cool idea. And as such, my rating will be dropped a point to help make the overall rating more realistic.

It's low budget...and could be a few minutes shorter... however, in the end, it's a good movie, in the vein of "oxygen" where memory loss is key, or "happy death day" where events repeat themselves. It's just low budget...but everyone from cast to crew really gave it their all. Keep on keeping on and things will get better as their craft improves.

The film has a fantastic story, albeit a cyclical one which makes little to no sense by the end. I assume that there is a "deep" and profound symbolism and meaning in the mind of the writer to be found with like minded individuals, but it was lost on me, The flow of the film was confused and perhaps that was intended to keep the viewers mind disoriented in order to keep ends loose for a huge final reveal, but even at the end there are too many end still not addressed or explained. The entire point of the great "experiment" that is the plot itself goes undiscovered.

Intentionally or not the entire cast of characters are an assembly of totally unsympathetic individuals, so much so that their misfortunes strike no chord of emotion to the viewer, one finds themself not really caring what happens to any of them by the end.

The prevailing feeling is dislike for all of them and the overwhelming emotion of sheer boredom tinge with the hope that it all ends soon.

I gave it 4 stars because the actors were all very good in conveying their characters and came across in making the viewer dislike all of them, which I think was the intention of the film???

It was NOT a totally waste of time, but it was most definitely a let down in the end!
