Andromeda

Have you ever had a really cheap, really well done steak? And maybe you had some powdered mash potatoes and freezer burnt veggies? It's like... still a meal... that could've been OK, but it just doesn't work out.

Much like the meal above this movie just didn't work out. There's this weird "rich kid who has it all with a drug problem" angle which take up 75% of the movie. The other 25% of the is a lot of negotiations and aliens talking in alien.

Your 10 year old might find it interesting and you can use it as a way to show them just how bad drugs are, as the main character slowly becomes, well, consumed.

Anyways, watch it, don't watch it. It's a good background movie. Like if Hallmark did Sci-fi.

Literally like a university student module short, but like 8 modules worth sewn together. The opening scene of crude sound design with zero weight and freezer ice block sprayed silver and glued to the space suits really sets the bar low for whole movie, am dram low. Dialog is 90% explaining things that any writer with any talent would have conveyed to the viewer not using words.

7 caracters in the cast pretty sure i only saw 6.

Relies heavily on mid 2000 graphic visual parts which tbf arn't out of place with the budget quite jarring with the incredibley poor set choices, like the guys office literally a back lit office blind casting a shadow over him but badly aligned, like an amdram scenery.

Compulsory viewing for film students! So that they can see how not to make a movie. I feel sorry for whoever made this, but they should really watch a few more movies before making their own, and you know, take some notes? To be fair, I could not watch more than the first 15 minutes of this, and hey, perhaps it morphed into the best movie ever made! But I will never know because 15 mins was more than I could stomach.

From what I saw they probably made every mistake possible, because lord knows I saw enough in that 15 minutes. They took the sage advice "Show don't tell" and made it a bad thing, by telling (a voiceover) and showing visuals of what the voiceover was describing. And I could go on, but I will leave it there. If you have not seen it, leave it there too!

It's one of them films where you have to figure out what is going on yourself.

It promised a lot but failed to deliver.

It shows a young man having what looks like a nervous breakdown talking to his shrink a lot.

The plot is that his dad is some kind of genius who has created a device to travel the Universe and shape reality.

Some Nasa guys who want to send him to go look for his father who has gone missing after failed attempts sending other people.

His father left when he was a young child

The rest I am guessing is just a drug induced fantasy.

Aka the scifi bit.

Low budget and it shows.

The acting was ok.

The story is very interesting at the beginning, and the concept is creative. However, the acting was really bad and the lines were very justify which made this movie a below average sci-fi. It had a lot of potential with the concept of traveling in your mind and inside a different reality and universe. It really could've been an interesting story about how far or how real the other reality can be and raise a question of whether we are in one or the other reality. The acting was really terrible. His therapist clearly had no acting skills at all and is completely unbelievable as a therapist. The story was also incomplete. The boss mentioned about the Russians, trying to beat Americans and there was no follow up on that part of the story. Overall, it's a story with with a lot of potential but everything about this movie ruined it and they didn't bother to make the story more interesting which could've been done easily.
