Project Ithaca

I really wish IMDb would screen reviews and not allow the ones by people like andrewrye who don't know what an opinion is. This movie wasn't great and was kind of a head scratcher but was not that bad. The acting was decent and so were the creature effects.

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Project Ithaca" (2019) had its moments and had a potential - i liked the concept (main idea), but unfortunately the execution wasn't any good. The plot left me confused, but its not its biggest fault - biggest fault (and there are many of them), is that this movie had any character development - i did not care about anyone or anything here. Also dialog were only like exposition - its like characters were trying to explain the plot to each other and audiences during the whole movie, which at running time 1 h 24 min. dragged.

Overall, this movie wasn't well made and had a very confusing plot. Add here a small budget and zero creativity to the material, and you have a bad movie. Its not a worst movie ever, but that does not give it additional points.

First of all, I have nothing to do with the folks who made this film. No bias here, just my honest opinion. Well, maybe a little bias since I'm a sci-fi nut in general.

I thought the story held together decently. Not perfect but I've seen worse... Acting was decent, effects were decent... I'd watch it again.

Not sure why so many dislike it, I'm gonna go with "matter of taste".

Not a block buster but not horrible either. Perhaps watch it as a "warm up movie" on your movie evening, then you'll still have something better to watch IF you don't like this one.

It wasn't quite what I was expecting, but I thought it was pretty interesting. Most of the story is told though the characters, and the flashbacks to their lives.

The acting was decent, and the tension was kept pretty high at points. So I did find it enjoyable. It had it's creepy moments too. Although more about the aliens could have been explained through one of the main characters Sara.

I thought the ending could have been stronger, and had a little bit more explanation.

A group of people wake up in an alien room attached to an alien apparatus apparently in an alien spacecraft. Sera has spent her life being experimented on in an alien machine. John Brighton works for defence. Perry is a prisoner. Rhonda is a high school teacher. Alex is a French prostitute. Zack Chase is a rock star.

It's a small sci-fi. It tries to limit itself. It's a functional sci-fi premise. There is one nice sci-fi reveal. It works but the movie gives too much away earlier on. Once the reveal happens, the movie really needs to build on that momentum. There are actually two revelations and I like both of them. It needs to explain them and dig into them. Essentially, it puts the car into second gear and fails to go any higher. The actors are fine. The opening reveals too much which should have been left to later. The movie stumbles to take it to the next level.
