Incontrol

Watching Incontrol was like reading a good book, only to find that the final pages are missing.

It's not an original idea and the film itself will leave you with many many questions,which I suspect will never be answered.

Its a real shame as it had so much potential but it felt like the writer(s) just gave up towards the end.

I have mixed feelings after watching Incontrol. The good points were that the story is innovative and the actors were'nt bad. But unfortunately even if the story was innovative it clearly missed the chance to bring a good sci-fi movie. It's a missed opportunity because it could have been much more interesting if developped better. Now you just get a mediocre story, that quickly becomes boring to watch, while the potential to have an intriguing story was there. I didn't get the end at all. Maybe it was open for interpretation but at that point I was already bored with this movie and so I couldn't care less. But I would watch another movie with the same concept if only the story was better.

It felt like an unfinished film, so much of it wasn't explained. Despite that I enjoyed it and thought the idea behind it was good

In control had potential to be an interesting film. The premise of migrating your mind to another's body is a well tested concept, but in controls rendition of this wasn't too cliché.

Unfortunately the film went nowhere, there was no suspense, excitement or intrigue - well...there was intrigue but this relates more to the feeling of watching the last 10 minutes in bemusement thinking "cmon! Just explain...SOMETHING!?"

The music was very tedious...stylistically you can see what they were aiming at: a fugue like state. But the music ended up just slowing the film down...the plot is slow enough already. A well composed score would have really helped this film realise its considerable potential, emphasising the "post modern" dream state. If they had achieved this sylistic concept more successfully - in score as well as every other element of the film - it may not have mattered that there was woefully written dialogue, cheap cinematography, no real character development and a very lazy plot.

Despite all this I actually enjoyed it in a funny way. As a technical exercise in film making, however, it did not succeed; and as an exercise in "feels" it didn't do too well either, watching it was basically a pleasant way to pass time!

I've never watched a movie that seemed so unfinished. What they had was pretty good. Perhaps they can get the bucks to clear up all the loose ends. Give it a watch because it is interesting and acting is decent, but beware you may feel unsatisfied when it's over.
