Extracted

I generally depend on IMDb ratings while watching random movies. Sad that this movie got a 5.9. Its deserves far more than that. I am giving this movie a 9/10 to make the rating a little better! Nice and original plot, no famous actors to boast of, keeps you engaged all throughout and finally a nice twist at the end. Everything is balanced in the movie. Even you start liking the actor as the movie progresses..And finally until the end you really want him to come out. Even Anthony's character is nicely portrayed..This is one of those movies which goes unheard of unfortunately. Please don't go by the ratings..watch the movie for yourself and decide..well i maybe glorifying it a little too much but you can call it inception's younger brother.

IMDb got it wrong the film is great great character portrayal very believable strong story and all in all very enjoyable to watch right from the start the idea is captivating which in some cases if you take such a good idea , bad IMDb score= a b or c grade film bad camera work crap script and you start thinking oh great this is one of those eagle entertainment flicks. but this film is the complete opposite.I'm glad i took the time to see it,i passed on it a few times but when i had a read of the comments i thought hey they cant be all wrong which makes me wonder how many other films that I've passed on that are actually good because of IMDb giving it a rubbish score lesson learned i think

you wont be disappointed

As with all films in this genre I assume it would be easy to look too much into it and uncover plot flaws or put it down because there isn't much action, but this film is more than your usual sci-fi bullets and blood film. The pace of the film is never dulled and it doesn't become boring because the characters and involvement you are likely to get drawn in very early on.

To summarise: - Great acting. - Best experienced in the right mood (this is no Inception). - Enough depth to be believable. - VERY well made on a fraction of the budget other terrible films are given.

As the other reviews have said I can hardly believe the low rating this film has been given.

Utterly confused about the title of this movie (it's either Extraction or Extracted) and its quality I dived in it, expecting nothing. What I got in return was something that seemed really innovative and new, but was actually a really old idea with a twist. It all revolves around a device that allows you to access and immerse yourself into other people memories and experiences, much like the movie Strange Days [1995]. This time we can witness how that device was made and funded, and eventually tested. The clash of the science and real, corrupt and devious world is another thing that I liked about Extracted. Although the hipster assistant was a bit too much. The cast is relatively unknown but they did their job really good. Dominic Bogart (Anthony) stole the show from lead actor Sasha Roiz (Tom), as the drug addicted accused of murdering his girlfriend. This doesn't mean that Sasha was bad, but just that Dominic was more passionate and realistic. Sasha redeemed himself, either intentionally or unintentionally, by giving his character a dose of douchiness, showing us that not everything is black or white.

Tom and Eric are a couple of scientist working on a machine that would allow them to go into peoples minds and memories. The main purpose of this device is to help autistic and other people with severe psychological and physical disabilities, but as the research starts to reach its critical phase they are forced to take funding no matter what obligations it may bring. Through Richard, their middleman, they contact a mysterious stranger who is willing to fund their research. As it turns out the mysterious stranger had some other things in mind when he decided to invest, but one thing remained the same, the test. They meet on a remote farm in the country, and there it all goes as planned, right up 'till the end where Tom is supposed to exit the subjects mind…

The real rating of this movie should be 7 or 8, but I am giving it a 9 to encourage filmmakers and others to follow their example. With a unique script, several overlapping stories which all make you think and look at things from another perspective, Extracted is an example of how science fiction movie with a restricted budget should be made. You start with a very good concept idea, build characters on it, hire the right people to play them and eventually direct the whole thing. A job well done…

This is a at least a 6 or 7/10. Before viewing, I thought all the user reviews down here were the writer under various guises trying to bump the film up! I thought what low budget trash is this! Pathetic! But - No. They are real people who are baffled at the current low (5/10) rating. I cannot say I blame them - IMDb ratings lately seem as about as honest as a 9 dollar note.

The insertion of the main character trapped in the foggy memories of the heroin user's mind for 4 years, trying to escape means the film runs through twists and turns in the plot aka the junkies mind and relationships and past horrific memories (robbing his own dad at gunpoint for example) is a reasonable plot - OK - It would have been far better if the junkie was much more of a dark character instead of a pathetic one - but the plot still moves along, and it's low budget doesn't hamper it.

Sure - it's nowhere near a 8 or 9, which I would say 'Limitless' is (in the same sort of apples to apples comparison - the same genre), or even another 'Inception' but certainly a decent watch.
