The Misty Green Sky

"If you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche.

A true glimpse into the perversions and fantasies of a depraved, twisted, possibly pædophilic mind. Prepare yourself for a mind-bending adventure, spawned by the machinations of a Jack Foster, that will truly have you questioning the nature of reality. Replete with madness, the costumes and appearance of our protagonist are constantly shifting with no discernible reason or cause in addition to bizarre physics. You will also find no sensible characters or reason within this universe. Seeking a deeper meaning or some semblance of a healthy worldview within this mess is akin to gazing at an Eldritch Horror. Nothing good will come of it. Simply submit yourself to this creation and behold.

There is no graphic sex scenes in this movie but through analysis, from a third party of course, this was quite obviously intended to be porn. Maybe not a movie, more than likely a download game with still images, but this was most definitely intended to titillate. Its easy to tell where the time went creating the models. Female models were made to look as attractive as possible. They wear very revealing clothes, have expressive faces, and aren't too unpleasant to look at. At one point the lead girl is running around topless. Then she puts on a shirt that is somehow even more revealing. Male models are ugly and likely stock. Neither was meant to be used in a motion picture. There is an attempt to make the characters expressive, but it was quite honestly misplaced. Their faces never seem to show the right emotion for any given situation and are often the most ridiculous aspect. When they move, its very twitchy and floaty. They aren't a part of the scene so much as they are an overlay that slides into place. Its like there is a constant physics glitch and at any point, the girl sitting in a jungle is going to slide away on her butt. Even the way they move is jank. They almost ragdoll when they run, their arms flailing ridiculously and their legs seem to go into business for themselves whenever they need to do anything else. The voice acting is a whole nother can of worms. The IMDB page lists three actors doing three roles. There are more speaking characters. The number of actors is correct. There is not even n attempt to mask their voices, every character sounds exactly the same as the last one. On top of that, the actors are quite apparently not to actors. Their voices are flat and lack any humanity, almost like they were voiced by a speak and spell. And then there is the pacing. It is unfortunate this isn't porn, at least then the filler would be something interesting. About 60% of this movie is simply exposition shots of the character going somewhere else. Either they are walking, floating, or flying and its never as interesting as it sounds. There is a scene where three characters are flying somewhere. You see the shot of them flying. Then a close up on one of the girls doing something. Then the other girl doing something. And this then cuts too, drum roll... them still flying. Followed by a close up on the first girl in a new position. And then the second girl doing something whule hanging upside down. None of these people have any lines or even names, this is to set up the main character getting a new job.

The animation is terrifying, the plot convoluted, the voice-acting wooden, the characters utterly forgettable. Even the twist at the end is strange and poorly pulled.

The models for this movie were clearly pre-generated and animated by someone with absolutely no experience. The facial expressions are especially bad, and there are some truly hilarious screen-shots out there.

The storyline had so much potential with the message it was trying to give, but Jack Foster clearly has no skill in creating a well-paced plot that isn't confusing. The world-building is also poorly done, as it isn't believable and leaves many unanswered questions.

The voice acting, well, I don't need to anything about that. Foster may as well have used computer generated voices. It would have sounded about the same.

The majority of the characters are useless, and are only in the movie for the sake of existing. Gwen, the main character, was clearly created by a perverted asshat, as she spends the majority of the movie floating around in various states of nudity(seriously). As far as her personality, there is none to speak of, as with the rest of the cast. Her hair and clothes also change frequently, so it's hard to keep track of her.

If you have a couple of hours to laugh your ass off, then this movie is the perfect one for you. I'd just skip the parts that are a bits slow, as most of them don't add to the story, which doesn't make sense anyway.

Weird, even annoyingly freaky. Don't be enticed by the screen shots or trailers - this is a mess.

No story, idiotic

Other reviewers have mentioned the graphics and CGI work. For those of you who may have seen the animated TV series "Reboot", the look is very similar. Not as well done as in Reboot, but similar.

What it lacks, however are: Interesting characters, a cohesive plot, decent voice-over actors, and good writing. Ever play any of those problem-solving/exploratory games, the kind that "Myst" led to? This production is much like those interludes where you, through your avatar, have to stop and talk to a characters that appear throughout the game. Now, take those interludes and run them non-stop, back-to-back, and that's what watching this movie is like.

I appreciate their effort, but...................
