Entangled

I am a huge thriller sci if fan. So much out there is less than mediocre these days.

This movie has the good acting, which most movies today do NOT. It is a lower budget movie, but it doesn't require a higher budget as it relies primarily upon the plot to keep you guessing. Actually glad it didn't try to add in a bunch of high end techno stunts or high end pyrotechnic scenes...that would have been a waste of money on a poorly themed movie...

For the savvy sci fi fan, the ending is rather obvious and not well thought out or explained. The plot is interesting, but not really anything new or different. Just sort of a low budget slow burn on an old idea.. The acting is what sustains the movie and it is quite good.

This would have done better as an episode of the X files, ( but there really are no shows like that anymore) but doesn't stand out well as a movie. Sure, it kills time, but is not memorable or something you are even likely to give a second watch. But, in these lean times of free movies on Hulu, one that has acting this good puts it far above most of the other free movies in the genre.

If you don't expect much clarity about the laws of the multiverse, this is not a bad film. The young cast works hard in their roles and some of the ideas are intriguing enough - but the multiverse is a pretty random place and you'll find yourself scratching your head much of the time. I appreciated that the film goes the extra mile of using deaf actors to play the roles of deaf characters and pulls off one neat trick with a voice-over assist.

The production costs of this movie are evidently low. A young amateurish cast and Marlee Matlin do their best with a script that is poorly written, and the dialogue is clunky yet does contains some good ideas. One of the main problems with low budget Sci-fi is the terrible special effects, but in this movie they successfully solved that problem, there are none, which for me works. In the hands of the right scriptwriter and a pot of cash this could be turned into something really good. I have seen far worse movies from the big studios this year, so it definitely gets an 'A' for effort.

7 March 2023. I just finished this movie. I read the synopsis on Hulu and I thought I would give this a try as sci-fi movies on my thing. I am not disappointed at all - I was glued to the screen until the end. I love the twisted ending and I felt that all characters did extremely well. I just look at the other reviews and people were complaining about bad script - I don't think so. I could not have done anything close to this and I have to tell you how much I enjoyed this movie. All the characters were very believable - they look like real friends in real life. The character of the mother was terrific, as well. Thank you all for this movie. I will keep an eye on future projects.

A good sci-fi movie that focuses a bit on drama. The work around for the low budget was pretty clever. The characters seem pretty relatable as well. As another reviewer said, they've done more with less than a lot of big budget dramas, which is pretty impressive.
