Agent

If you want a decent sci-fi movie with aliens, this isn't it. If you want decent acting and writing, again, not it.

This is a classic example of what I call lazy writing, where the author writes something highly improbable/unlikely to advance the story. Then on top of that the characters did not behave realistically - not responding anything like an actual person would in similar circumstances. This is all made worse by continuity errors and a general lack of research on certain things (firearms for one).

The acting is barely adequate overall, but some of the characters come across as either wooden or strained when challenged to show emotion. The main female's "meltdown" seemed a bit hamfisted.

The entire premise of the movie wasn't bad, but the idea that humanity needed "help" to build complex structures in the way described was overly contrived. It was if they were saying that ancient humans were too dumb to even talk with each other let alone cooperate with each other.

Overall, not a great movie, but I'll give it 3 out of 10 - you CAN watch it, but I'd suggest doing it with friends and then making fun of the mistakes and acting. You'll enjoy it much better that way.

The writing is horrendous. Acting is terrible, but I ignored that since these seem to be a bunch of young people trying. OK fine, but maybe keep your options open. Maybe it's the horrible writing that makes it impossible to act.

Characters are basic preppy blank faces, nothing interesting about them in my opinion. Backstory on interpersonal relationships between the characters supposed to make it more interesting and give the characters personality? Didn't do it for me here.

Story is boring, plot didn't go anywhere until it suddenly decided to move and even then it was just a complete let down. Not stimulating or very creative. By the way the writing is absolutely terrible. It's on the cusp of being so bad it's good, but it's not so it's just terrible. I cannot believe there are people rating this up on here but okay different tastes I guess.

The writing and acting are so so so so terrible. It's so forced and there isn't even anything to force which is the grand irony of it all.

This is not eve a movie.... it's some tragi-comedy... worst ever. I think the crew and the actors rated it above 2.. LOL Don't loose time on this.... Do not even bother to play 5 minutes of this, you will suffer very bad, believe me!!!! The actors are under any level the operator is using some smartphone with good camera for this i guess.. absolutely bad bad bad performance, play, story line, everything is terrible!!!

Watched the trailer and wasn't very impressed but curiosity got the better of me.

It's not a complete disaster after all if you, just like me expect a C-List movie. This is more of a B-list and to be honest I have definitely seen much worse.

The acting came across as stale and forced but at least they tried.

The story line is as fresh as fresh fish, but if there is nothing else to watch & you have some time to kill, or need something to run in the background while you cook, this is for you.

Let's hope the next Derek Ting film is better.

OK, I saw the trailer. It was good, but I was hesitant because it might have all the best stuff, and nothing in the movie. But I bit anyways.

I wasn't expecting much honestly, but I liked the characters enough, they felt real. I'm a consultant, so the Seth character was spot on...haha. Loved the frequent flyer joke.

The film starts out as a bunch of friends, and then takes a serious turn with a lot of guns, fighting, action, and...mythology.

I saw the movie with my wife one evening over wine, and it was refreshing and fun.

Did some research on the filmmakers, and I'm a fan! Enjoy!
