The Last Boy on Earth

IMOP this script had an awesome possibility. The actors were vg. Not sure what happened in on the editing or financial chopping block of budget, but again IMOP, this could have been awesome. I am a sci-fi fan, and this movie had several ways to be the new "Train to Busan".

Not sure what happened.

The script was split, but the actresses and actors were on point!

There was so much possibility from this film. The film was very good. However, the script as filmed seems " confused".

The lighting, vg, costumes, vg.

The bottom line is there were not the story, edited and shown in a smooth way.

The thief? The demons? The kid? No cohesive info in the film. Where there absolutely COULD have been.

Sad.

The bad reviews not rely on the quality of the Short-Compilation, they display the dissapointment that it was not a movie like expected.

If you know that this are only shorts you will like most of them! They are not low-budget and habe good effects and even BlackMirror-like content. I dont like all stories and don't see a connection between them all but 4 or 5 of the 6 I really enjoyed, so this bad rating is just not fair and just unfair emotions of people who didn't know what they will get. Especially number one is a nice short-movie and have a very good athmosphere. Please leave a review to balance out this unfair bad rating.

So this film is very very confusing. It is essentially 100 trailers to 100 completely different sci-fi films to horror and all between. A story never unfolds, every clip lasts about 5 minutes. Some are ridiculously weird and overall it was a complete waste of time just like reading a kafka story for example. The serial killer robot was hilarious. Seriously, he was trying to be all serious explaining how a serial robot was accidentally created - haha that should be checked out by any sci-fi buff. Although only a 5 minute segment, that clip had potential to be the next chucky franchise. The rest, although a lot of money had been spent on the sets, costumes and special effects they are just a random mash of nonsense. Still I sat through it scratching my head through but I have to admit I was never bored or tempted to turn it off.

I assumed this was a full length movie. The story kept on changing but one constant was a boy in a room which it kept on going back to so the film was making no sense. All the scenes were well done with very good special effects all the actors were people i didnt know. Because it was a set of shorts and i wasn't aware it it made watching it really hard work a bit like watching a david lynch movie.

By the time I got to the end i still never worked out how the boy in the movie was tied to all the stories as i could not see a link. Its only when i saw the credits and it started listing all the different shorts directed by different people that i realised it wasn't one film.

This really sucks. If i had known going into it that it was a set of shorts i would have been happy to watch it and enjoyed it more but instead i was left wondering what on earth was going on and this ruined it. At this point i dont care what ties all the shorts to the boy in the room. Not worth wasting your time unless you like shorts.

Even knowing that this was a collection of shorts, I still stopped watching as the second short began. The first short seemed to be set in the Blade Runner universe but the characters were depressingly bad with no interesting story element to make it worth it. The next story lost me when it started taking about prophesy. Basically, it started with boring stories with confusing cuts of the kid mixed in. It was a chore to get through even as far as I did. I had no desire to wade through the sludge with the potential of no payoff. I have tried that with too many bad movies. So I stopped early but was still very frustrated.
