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.

The pace of this movie is slow, very slow.

Some decisions in this movie were complete insane, and would have never be done when they were a real survivor group.

Sometimes they are really stupid.

For instance, you have a door with a digital lock, where you can enter 3 digits, so ranging from 000 to 999, and one of the guys say, oh no, there are 1000's of combinations.

So several thousand... Really?

The film is not good obviously, but certainly not bad either, I have seen worse, much worse.

It is just too slow, like the brain of the producer was in cryo state as well...

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.

Cryogenic sleep...more like these guys woke up in a low budget escape room and tried to make it a sci-fi set. I don't know that anyone could act their way outta this set...

The movie was good! It was a bit confusing at times, but once things started to come together I was ALL IN. The 3rd act really stuck the landing for me, despite some unsteadiness earlier in the movie. I recommend it to anyone who likes these types of independent films. I wonder if someone like Arrow Video could pick this up for physical Blu-ray release, because I'd buy it!
