Flashburn

The acting was terrible, the writing was weak and cliche, and the characters were shallow and empty. This was a complete waste of time and money. "Open the bay doors, HAL". "I can't do that, Dave." "Daisy, Daisy, tell me your answer, please." Just nonsense.

I just watched this movie and wasn't sure what to expect, but loved it. It was a ride worth taking! Very good storytelling. The acting was great, especially the lead actor. I would highly recommend this movie.

Director Giorgio Serafini's Flashburn is an action packed sci-fi thriller that will have you gripping with suspense. Dr. Wes Conan's ( Sean Flannery) world is turned upside-down after an accident leaves him suffering from severe memory loss. He soon learns that the fate of the nation is depending on him to find the cure for a viral epidemic that only he knows. This film is an intense race against time that sucks you in from start to finish. The labyrinth nature of the plot keeps you begging for answers and if you're anything like me you'll start to yell at your TV. If you don't mind suffering temporarily from high blood pressure than Flashburn is a film you need to see!

If one looks at the "sparkling" reviews here it will be noticed they were all left within 2 days of one another. Far from being a 9 & 10-star film, this is a plodding, boring, illogical piece of nonsense that makes "straight to DVD" look like an Oscar winner.

Being already aware from the summary that the main character is looking for a cure to the virus... early in the film he is prevented from going outside a building because he "may be exposed". Yet almost immediately he finds himself in the company of an infected victim, with apparently no concern that she's exposing him every second he's with her. It goes downhill from there.

When a film relies on fake reviews to catch attention, that tells us a lot about its quality from the beginning. Be warned: this is a SyFy-quality film that will have you yawning within the first 20 minutes. If you take anything away from it at all... it will be a nice nap.

This is my 1st review, and I have no associations with anyone related to this film. I thought this movie was OK, the acting was average, although I really like Cameron Richardson. She made staying with this worthwhile. While the story was very slow, and sometimes quite awkward, it was a decent sci fi idea that could have used a lot more action or twists to liven it up. But I really liked the ending, it made the movie worth staying for. I guess people who are not hard core sci fi fans would not like this film as much, but from a story point of view, I do recommend it.
