Alternate Ground

When you pick a movie , you are taking your chances these days. The B movies are the worst. Made cheap, slow moving and wishing these movie makers would get a ticket for producing this crap!

The idea for the movie is great. The movie is amateurish and slow. The mom seems to be casted so badly. She doesn't even look closely related to the kids. The lady that played the doctor, should've been the mom.

The kids and fathers acting was tolerable. You can kinda tell that the kid is loosing time. Abduction kind a stuff. Casting sucked, actors boring. I guess anybody can make a movie these days. Skip it if you can.

Horrifyingly BAD, student film, or made for Lifetime movie. Yes it is that bad. Contains horrible story, horrible acting, really no effects worth mentioning. It's just bad. But, I made it to the end so it gets a 2/10.

The movie wasn't completely terrible but the character development could've been better. I couldn't help getting mad at how the parents were acting. Terrible family..ugh. They were not caring or paid attention enough when their son is experiencing trauma. Leaving him alone, dismissing his physical changes, not listening to him or taking it serious. . They blew off things too easily and it was ridiculous. I kept saying who wrote this? Then when things get worse all of a sudden they care. Weird. Normal parents wouldn't act like this. I stuck it out because the child actor held it down. The acting of the other characters not so much, but it could've been the script they were given. It kept me interested enough to continue watching. I would watch it again if they remake it.

Just the kid & the storyline the rest you can scratch.

I'm not saying the kid is a great actor, but he did 10 thousand % better than every other person in the movie.

The acting was horrendous.

I don't care that it's a no budget movie. I'm okay with that. I actually appreciate independent film makers using their iPhones. I respect that. It's art. If it's good.

But at least act like you wanted to do it.

I hope some Hollywood type picks the story up and does it some justice. It has some potential.

Today I logged on to IMDb - driven by an unstoppable force, set in motion by watching this film. As I endured the continuous onslaught of scenes that 'Alternate Ground' provides - I felt truly challenged to imagine a more horrifying mixture of desultory acting and zealless camera-work.

What made it a truly exceptional experience for me, was actually coming here to write the above, and seeing this title has in fact won 13 awards.

This film fully opened my eyes to the exciting new depths the bar has apparently been lowered. So thrilled to see what the future still holds!

(How I wish the Mayans had been right about 2012...)
