Stasis

"Stasis" is a very low budgeted film with mostly actors with limited experience. Because of this, I tend to cut the movie some slack. Sadly, many reviewers have savaged the picture and have created the impression "Stasis" is horrible...which it isn't. It has some clever ideas and works provided you aren't expecting what you'd see in a $200,000,000 space epic!

The story begins in the hellish future. Things are awful and most of the people died as a result of wars. Now a totalitarian regime is in power and a small group of radicals are trying to undo this by manipulating time. Using volunteers, they send folks back in time in order to prevent this awful future from ever taking place.

Some of the acting is a bit weak, but again this is a cheaply made film and they gotta learn somewhere. My feeling is if you don't mind a few rough spots, give it a watch. It's now streaming on Netflix.

Truth be told, some parts of the movie had some interest levels, but the quality of acting and random clichés just made it seem cheap. When your inner voice says "it's cheap" you kind of tune out, but I persisted with it. Luckily for me, I was doing some work while watching otherwise I would have wanted my time refunded!

Netflix recommends a lot of movies when they are newly released, but yeah - viewer be warned. The ending is just the kick to the nether regions you'd expect for putting up with the whole thing. The movie just takes a whole turn south the first time "Cabal" is mentioned.

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.

This film, absolutely terrible. The idea itself is Brilliant, however actors, terrible, acting is atrocious. I had to turn it off after 45mins, I just couldn't finish it it was so bad I don't get, its good good production value and everything, only thing I can think of is the writer and director must be useless. If you want to watch a good film like this watch 12 monkeys with Bruce willis. Brilliant film, excellent story...basically its same film as this but very good.

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.
