Stasis

This could have been an excellent movie, but from the first scene (post-apocalypse 2067, with heavy road traffic visible in the background) it was obvious this was going to stink. The budget was so low it couldn't even stretch to hiring actors, the universally poor performances seemingly delivered by unwitting members of the public who sounded like they were reading from a shopping list. To sum up how poor this film is, when I logged on to this site, I watched the trailer for the film. It was preceded by an ad for Ferrero Rocher which was infinitely more interesting than the entire film itself. This could have been a really good effort, even with the obviously non-existent budget, but instead it was poorly written, poorly acted, a poorly executed exercise in putting together every cliché in the genre in the least entertaining way possible. All I can really say about spoilers is this: if you actually watch this film, you'll have spoiled your evening when you could have been doing something much more interesting, like watching paint dry.

I would give a more in depth review if I could but i admit i stopped watching it to look up all the negative reviews which provided me more entertainment value then the 10-15 minutes i watched of the film so far.

Great concept - but the acting! It sucks like no other movie pretending to be mature. Or any other movie. The characters speak to themselves to underline the storyline. Lines are written as out of a schoolplay. Action is carried out with panting and don't-show-tell teenager one-liners. This movie could have been good.

The only good thing about this project(?) is that it appears to give employment to people who would normally be cashing an unemployment cheque. You couldn't really call it a film as it's so terrible with it's attempt at cheesy one liners. The acting is so bad I'd swear this was their first attempt at it if I hadn't checked their previous history. Clearly Netflix is padding out their library with rubbish like this. Do yourself a favour and give it a miss.

I thought several of the actors had brilliant moments, but the decent moments were repeatedly clouded by actors who played very flat or unnecessarily emotion into their lines. I'd love to see this script rewritten but it is one of the poorest I've seen run.

I thought the worst aspects of the film were Eva insisting "everything is going to be fine" every night before leaving her beau, her mother's manic and somewhat overplayed outbursts followed by apologies in her next appearance at least 3 times, and multiple unresolved plot lines that left me wondering how the script moved forward without addressing what we'd just seen.

It reminded me of Tank Girl (which I actually enjoy) and seemed similarly disjointed, but it also was entirely overdramatic while trying to stay serious which didn't play well at all. If you want to get really drunk and navigate plot holes, this is the film for you.

Three out of ten because it could only be worse if all acting was terrible and the plot was less interesting.
