Project Ithaca

A group of people wake up in an alien room attached to an alien apparatus apparently in an alien spacecraft. Sera has spent her life being experimented on in an alien machine. John Brighton works for defence. Perry is a prisoner. Rhonda is a high school teacher. Alex is a French prostitute. Zack Chase is a rock star.

It's a small sci-fi. It tries to limit itself. It's a functional sci-fi premise. There is one nice sci-fi reveal. It works but the movie gives too much away earlier on. Once the reveal happens, the movie really needs to build on that momentum. There are actually two revelations and I like both of them. It needs to explain them and dig into them. Essentially, it puts the car into second gear and fails to go any higher. The actors are fine. The opening reveals too much which should have been left to later. The movie stumbles to take it to the next level.

I really wish IMDB would screen reviewers. The other two either are friends of the actors or paid by the production company.

Bad acting, boring and snail pace movement with no direction. What else... bad writing, ridiculous special effects and just plain blahhhh.

It is mostly just a group of people (and yes, they know each other...mostly) with no acting skills talking with occasional flashback that made no sense. Difficult to follow and hard to watch. Also a bad version of the Matrix's Oracle (an obvious copy), and I'm still trying to work out the 'Generals' rank with staff sergeant stripes? pips changed from 3 to 1 during the movie, perhaps someone could enlighten me.

Don't waste your time, not even worthy of a B grade, a 2 because I was having a good day.

First of all, I have nothing to do with the folks who made this film. No bias here, just my honest opinion. Well, maybe a little bias since I'm a sci-fi nut in general.

I thought the story held together decently. Not perfect but I've seen worse... Acting was decent, effects were decent... I'd watch it again.

Not sure why so many dislike it, I'm gonna go with "matter of taste".

Not a block buster but not horrible either. Perhaps watch it as a "warm up movie" on your movie evening, then you'll still have something better to watch IF you don't like this one.

I really wish IMDb would screen reviews and not allow the ones by people like andrewrye who don't know what an opinion is. This movie wasn't great and was kind of a head scratcher but was not that bad. The acting was decent and so were the creature effects.

It wasn't quite what I was expecting, but I thought it was pretty interesting. Most of the story is told though the characters, and the flashbacks to their lives.

The acting was decent, and the tension was kept pretty high at points. So I did find it enjoyable. It had it's creepy moments too. Although more about the aliens could have been explained through one of the main characters Sara.

I thought the ending could have been stronger, and had a little bit more explanation.
