I'm not sure if they where going for a blair witch style movie here or something but the camera work is quite honestly the worst i have ever seen. I have recorded videos on my mobile phone, in my hand, that where more stable more consistently than this whole movie.
Story wise i can see a good concept in there.
Acting on the other hand was bad. Really bad. There was no emotion in really anything, every bit of dialog was as if you had asked a bored teenager a question, no emotions at all, disinterested. Just bad.
The weapons and fight scenes are bad. Like ok i get that it's low budget, but come on. Weapons appear to have lights for some reason, yet shoot ballistic projectiles, seeing a reload is rare, their melee weapons also have a light and a power source, why? I could not tell you, but this power source other than lighting the blade up appears to have absolutely no other effect, it does not increase cutting ability at all according to one scene it generates some heat i guess? But when this powered system fails it turns the weapon into a large magnet causing the wielder to be unable to move without being pulled to the nearest magnetic surface, leaving them so exposed it's almost comical.
This could have been a decent low budget film, they simply needed better camera work. Like substantially better.. Of all the flaws this movie contains that camera work is the worst by a substantial margin.
And by having better more involved? Interested? Actors.
But if you had to pick better camera work or better actors, hands down get the better camera work. The rest is forgivable but god damn that camera work was bad. My 2 year old records more stable videos when she steals my phone...
