Future World

Hour and a half completely devoid of content. Like a porn parody without porn. Looks terrible. Sounds terrible. I felt nothing, NOTHING, I'm not kidding, I was not even annoyed. Waste of talent, waste of money, waste of space, and ultimately, a complete waste of my time. Milla Jovovich, James Franco, Lucy Liu, Carmen Argenziano,they should all be ashamed of themselves.

One could try to find out, what caused this to go south. And I don't mean literally obviously. Was it too many people getting involved in the production/script? Was the main idea good, but somehow something happened while translating for the big screen? If you are really interested in this, you will not find an answer here. Actually I will make the point that there are worse movies out there. Which doesn't make this good by any stretch of imagination (and imagination you will need).

But just goodies like having Milla Jovovich and James Franco in it, is almost worth watching it. The action is ok or even decent for the budget this has. One of the main problems is though that the main character is almost derived completely of any charisma. But that is not all, the cliches come flying in and weird things get thrown at the viewer for good measure. Or is it bad measure? Whatever the case, you will have to have a very low expactation and a very high love (no pun intended) for Science Fiction movies .. if that comes together you may have more fun then most people. Otherwise it probably is wise to steer clear of this

It's very sad to see good Actors telents go to waste in such a movie, story is somewhat like half Cyborg half Madmax, but Cinematography and Editing is really below average, i think James Franco's Team consisted of some teenager fans, or maybe he was too busy on his other projects that he didn't got the time for his direction. This movie will haunt him in coming days, Sorry Franco, direction is not for you bro.

REVIEW - FUTURE WORLD

Occasionally white scrolling through and looking at the films available I read the synopsis of a film and wonder what it's like. Now we all know someone somewhere has the job of writing a synopsis and has to make even Sausage Party sound interesting.

Then I saw who was in this film, James Franko, Lucy Liu, Milla Jovovich and Snoop Dogg!!!!

I know!!! At this point I thought WOW an undiscovered 10 out of 10 and 90+ minutes of sheer screen enjoyment!!!

I have never been so wrong, embarrassing for the actors, degrading even, I bet this film won't even be on their resumes.

Boring beyond belief, don't waste your money or time, go and watch paint dry it's far more interesting than this.

Rating 3 out of 10

James Franco really doesn't know how to direct and should probably stay away from attempting it in the future. There really aren't many ways to describe this movie other than plain dumb, it's just not that good. It seems like this was more a project for some actors and rappers to goof around and enjoy themselves, which can work, if the story and acting doesn't suck.

I was going to write out a movie summary but decided it's really not needed. The movie takes place in essentially 4 "sets", a beautiful grove filled with flowing water and trees, a shack decorated to look like a brothel, an abandoned church in the middle of nowhere, and an abandoned resort in the middle of nowhere. They didn't build any of this, it's clear they filmed in random places they found, they didn't even bother dressing them up. Franco hams it up as the evil bad guy Warlord, Suki Waterhouse is a sexy robot, Snoop Dogg is a pimp (shocker), and Mila Jovavich is a chemist? Or something. I dunno, she somehow makes drugs from the crappiest looking chemistry set I've seen. Another dumb thing that irked me, this movie takes place over several days but not ONCE do they show what people eat or drink or how they get any of their resources. There's NOTHING else but the filming locations and it's all in the middle of nowhere. It a dumb thing to bother me but...3-4 days in the desert without a sip of water and no sign of dehydration? That's just basic character development. Which there is absolutely none of in this movie.

So why did I rate it a 4? Two stars for the film because it was shot relatively well, and two stars for Suki Waterhouse and Mila Jovavich looking hot as hell. Honestly just a really amateurish movie. It wants to be campy and cult status invoking...it's not. It's just dumb.
