The Wheel

Look, sci-fi is in the eye of the beholder and we all expect different things, but this film isn't as terrible as some people have reviewed! The acting reminds me of the cheese of Flash Gordon! The martial arts was good. I don't often leave reviews, felt I had to after seeing so much hate for this film!

Arquette must be hard up for money if he takes roles in this massive waste of a film. The premise is ok at start but then it treads water and the budget starts to show. It actually becomes kinda boring and I found myself looking at phone and had it on in background. The lead actress was absolutely awful. Her acting was so wooden, so bad. I actually thought she was a robot or something. The fight scenes were average at best. Tedious even. The song at the end also sucked. Ha ha

If they make a sequel needs to be a lot better. I could go threw all the not good in this film but is easier to say the end was good, and you have to watch a fair piece of it to get the end.

I don't see why others are saying David Arquette didn't belong in this film, common David Arquette has done almost anything to stay relevant. I won't say he sucked because the film was not exactly a show case for any of the actors.

I gave it a six just for the ending, I would not watch it again.

A lot of people have mentioned bad acting in the reviews, but I think the main problem with this movie is the terrible dialogues. After all, an actor can do just as much as hes given. Lead actor shows a lot of promise, David Arquette shows the worst performance, but to his defense he's been handled the most ridiculous lines. I think this can be worth to give a shot if you are into dystopian movies.

The movie itself doesn't meet many film-making standards nor hasn't in-depth story, generally based on the important subject of technology/science misuse which is rapidly getting more present in everyday life. Some of implied global catastrophic scenarios are making a climate change old, weary and not immediate; unlike bio-technology, polymer pollution, techno-totalitarism, etc. The story basically does a shallow dive into some of latter disaster scenarios. Combining misuse of bio and nano technology with corporate dystopian surveillance. That's what actually drove me through the movie, beside (some of) esthetics. With the great significance of those catastrophic scenarios, it really could do a better job, leaving us (after medium action) with very unfinished ending, "unchecked" science, unanswered questions and very thin characters and story. Not to mention other film-making goals that are not met. They really should have done a better job with obviously enough budget (judged by casting, effects, etc.) because those catastrophic subjects are of global great importance to us all.
