Dominion

Granted, I was lured in by this 2015 movie's cover/poster, as it seemed like something that could possibly be watchable. Sure, I am not usually one overly keen on sci-fi movies, but do dabble with the genre once in awhile.

And movies like "Dominion" are definitely not helping to boost my admiration or love for the sci-fi genre. This movie was boring and horribly pointless. And what writers Erick Hansen and Richard Lowry were thinking when they concocted "Dominion" is just simply beyond me.

The storyline told in "Dominion", as directed by Richard Lowry, was just pointless. There was simply nothing interesting to be enjoyed here as the movie trotted on in a very, very monotonous pace. And with so little happening in the storyline it was a struggle to keep focus on the movie and stay awake.

It didn't really help much that the acting in the movie wasn't really convincing. It felt sluggish and amateurish, most of the times it seemed like the actors and actresses themselves didn't buy into the storyline and script that they had to bring to the screen. Nor were the mundane dialogue much of any help either.

For a sci-fi movie, "Dominion" was a swing and a miss. The special effects in the movie were something from a 1990s computer game, and it was most certainly not up to what you'd expect from a 2015 movie. And a sci-fi movie needs to have proper and convincing special effects, which was something "Dominion" lacked.

"Dominion" came without as much as a noise for me, hence I didn't even know of its existence before now late in 2020. And the movie will just as quietly fade into oblivion for me. This movie is not really worth your time, money or effort. My rating of "Dominion" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.

An interesting premise, some lovely cinematography and pretty decent acting, but it takes SO LONG for a scene to play out. I had to keep hitting the +10 seconds button on my remote.

Well that's an hour and 23 mi it's I'll never get back. Slow, action less and, well, b grade at best.

The only real negative for me is the completely inane title.. Whoever approved that should be fired.. Makes it sound like a cartoon, but it's way misleading.. 🙄 No doubt the low scores are coming from those expecting the typical Hollywood big explosion extravaganzas and special effects psychedelia so often tossed out for the mindless public.. This is a low budget, simple film that actually has something to say for those who can still think for themselves.. An utter surprise to see something like this actually be allowed in these ever restricting times.. The writer, director and producers should be proud of putting out something a little different from the norm.. There are little seeds strewn throughout that brought a smile and made this one worth remembering.. It's sad that so many will skip this because of the low scores, but it isn't a surprise as anything that questions establishment authority and hints at alternative awareness is so often stifled.. Read between the lines, forget the ignorant reviews.. This is way better than one would expect from a low budget, no name cast and crew.. It reminds me of Starman without the named stars.. If you can't find something to like here you aren't trying very hard.. haha I fully recommend this and hope those who need to see it will.. A really pleasant surprise..! Well done..! 🙏

I love a good invasion/end of the world as we know it movies. This rolled across the top of my Kindle for Amazon Prime so I figured why not?

I lasted 23 minutes before I gave up the ghost. I tried rolling ahead to several points hoping to see something, anything, that would peak my interest. I did not. Boring lines, boring action, boring characters. The alien break up with the human was even boring.

There was some decent scenery depicting different areas of New Mexico, but that seems to be this movie's only redeeming quality. An alien with some sort of personality would have helped tremendously. Maybe then a connection could have been made.
