The Recall

This wont be my typical review....There was just a few things I wanted to bring up about reviewers who join IMDb and review one movie, then you never hear from them again. They don't take any polls, they don't rate any movies (or very few)and seemingly it DOES appear that they are biased for one reason or another. This is why I also check the reviewers and watch for those things I just mentioned.

I do have to say tho, that this movie isn't the terrible piece of crap some reviewers are saying, and it isn't the glorious work of art that others are saying either. I just wonder if when some reviewers see that it is rated so high that they try to make up for it by rating very low. Which seems to me, just makes it even more of a big F'ed up mess.

My advice....just be careful when you read the reviews. Use common sense. Anyone that rates it a 10 and glorifies it, check their credentials (how long have they been an IMDb member, how many reviews have they done, have they rated more then 5-10 movies, have they been active (do they take polls> make lists, etc....) Reacting to these "fake" reviews by responding with not fair reviews to try and make up for it is NOT helping. Review honestly and fairly. THAT is the best way to respond.

Now, I have just started this movie, and so haven't had time to form a real strong opinion yet, but I can say, that the acting in this film is NOT bad. I have seen hundreds of B movies, independent movies with some really terrible acting and This is NOT even close to that level of Bad.

So far all I can tell you is that it is not a rated 10 movie some have reported. And it is not a 1,2, or 3 rated that others gave it.

Im a half hour in, and honestly...it's not too bad. Good enough Im sticking with it the rest of the way....(score good, editing appears good...camera work/lighting/cinematography all seem adequate...so whats left, a weak screenplay? OK....maybe..but so far so good in my book) Give it a look see and make up your own mind, and if you review...be honest. Guess that's really the main point I wanted to get across. And that this movie doesn't deserve the very high or the very low reviews.

Where can I start?

Firstly let's start off by pointing out the number of fake reviews praising this movie, most likely from the d-grade actors involved in this movie or their publicists. You should be ashamed...not because of the number of fake reviews you so vainly posted, but by how embarrassingly obvious they are as fakes (check RottenTomatoes, you will see more fake reviews there).

So...the movie itself is very c-grade. Usual generic story of teens going into the woods, everything is laughably predictable, normally i'd say this isn't such a bad thing if you enjoy that type of movie but unfortunately the acting and writing is beyond rubbish.

The emotions are all wrong and swing from one to the next without any care or thought as to the scene itself. Amateur actors at best. I was really excited to see Wesley Snipes on the big screen again but dude, you made a huge mistake doing this movie.

You will recognise the annoying kid from Breaking Bad is in this movie, I don't really wish bad things for him IRL but I could have punched that stupid character he played in this movie over and over in the face.

Make no mistake, this movie blows, anyone telling you otherwise is a shill being paid by cronies related to this movie. Frankly the only pleasure you will derive from this movie, is telling your friends how bad it was.

Do not watch.

Umm well the special effects and plot were ok... But good Lord these kids are DUMB and not in a running away at the wrong time kind of dumb but suicidally stupid. Can somebody please make a movie like this with people who aren't trying to function with an IQ of 75... I'm pretty sure the kids in this movie were way more of a danger to themselves than the aliens were. Wesley Snipes was pretty entertaining though, he's really the only intelligent person in it. Honestly by the end of the movie you're wanting them all to die just so there's no chance of them reproducing.

Total waste of space, if you look at the reviews on here you can see that they all look the same and giving high marks but most of them have only been members for the las week. Someone is writing this crap on here and trying to nudge this cow pat of a film higher in the ratings. No chance of that if you watch this turd like i did then you are as daft as me.

If you like alien stuff, watching this movie is a must. It reminded me of "Signs" (2002, Mel Gibson) There is a good suspense, some action and clitché characters and the film feels really short. Great actors, especially the "Blade" guy, lol, this dude does certainly know how to make us laugh in an apocalyptic world.
