Waterborne

I, as a witness to the world Trade disaster. I felt very emotionally evolved in this film. I guess I didn't notice the cinematography problems some have commented on. I saw the reality of what can manifest out of the suspicion of innocent people just because they look and act in a different way than most of us expect. As Americans we hardly look inside of ourselves, Perhaps the reality of one of us harming innocent people is hard to except. So we force the blame on what we do not understand about others and strike out against them.I Feel this film is entirely underrated. It should be seen by all of us as Americans. We have to realize that there is good and bad in all. I don't understand why we expect the bad before all.

I saw the World Premiere of "Waterborne" at South by Southwest, and it is compelling both as an examination of what would happen if Los Angelos came under biological attack and as a human drama. The acting is excellent, the music is original and works perfectly, and the direction is right-on for this kind of film. This movie ought to get released; it does a better job than any big Hollywood movie ever could at dealing with the true terror that a contaminated water supply could bring about.

The story is told through the eyes of a few different characters, all of whom are at a point in their lives where a widespread panic allows some hidden anxieties to show. The dialogue is authentic and the characters are excellent and varied. I especially enjoyed the multi-cultural flair of the film - in too many of these kinds of movies, the people affected are cultural stereotypes, but "Waterborne" plays with that notion to fine effect. Indeed, the LA in "Waterborne" - like the one in the real world - is populated by Sikhs finding their place post -9/11 and clashing with older generations, military officers with a conscience who marry outside of their race, and middle-class twenty-somethings dealing with a scary world. "Waterborne" actually creates multi-layered characters and shows how many things that seethe under the surface will bubble up in a time of terror and panic.

At the South by Southwest screening, the producers gave out free bottles of water, and needless to say the entire audience looked at the bottles differently after the movie was over. If you get a chance to see this, take advantage: it's a very cool film.

If you enjoyed crash you will undoubtedly enjoy this. Similar story - similar structure - similar music.

If your into films in any way you'll appreciate the that the final cut of this movie was made on a very small budget, but gives the feel of a much bigger movie. There is a believably tense atmosphere throughout the movie which is further drove into your being by the excellent music (very similar to crash).

The running time is short - but leaves you feeling as though you've seen a lot more.

The film is a character based one and is driven along by some pretty good acting. But the film is really too short for any of the leads to really stretch there acting skills.

The main guy is actually the oldest brother from "malcolm in the middle" and after watching this I hope he gets more work in the future.

A very good film overall - My buddy thought it was super sweet.

Who am i to disagree!!!!!!!!!!!! WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Waterbourne" had a lot of potential, and it's really a shame that someone with the cash didn't pick it up and make it properly. It deals with the fears and absolute terror that come when one is deprived of one of the very necessities of life...water, and the desperate things that one will do in order to survive. As one reviewer has said before, it's like a cross between "Crash", and another disaster movie like "Earthquake" or something else equally earth-shattering.

I lived through 30 days of no water during the floods of 1993 here in the Midwest of the United States (Des Moines, IA), and this film probably comes closest to demonstrating the fear that was experienced by many people during the first 24-48 hours after we realized that our water supply for a city this size was shot. Luckily for us, we didn't experience a situation like "Waterbourne" displayed for us. Our people pulled together, and worked together. We gained strength from our situation. This, unfortunately wasn't an aspect shown in this film.

Not a bad movie, but not a great movie either. As previously stated by another reviewer, the camera work is very rough. It's definitely a thinking persons movie though...very dark and foreboding, so if you enjoy that type of movie then this is the one for you! I wouldn't recommend this for any person with psychological difficulties or anyone seriously disturbed by thoughts of terrorism. It has the potential to mess with your mind.

WATERBORNE is an interesting movie, the plot is good and the acting is okay, too. But, the camera work/cinematography leaves a lot to be desired. Sometimes you see only half a face of the actor/actress or the camera moves too much up and down. I felt as if I was watching a home movie. It really bothered me. The music, of course, is another topic. If you like that kind of noise, then it's fine. I wouldn't call it music, though. I am not trying to be overly critical because the movie deserves praise for its content and scriptwriting. If it comes out on DVD, I would definitely recommend it so any viewer can make up their own mind about.
