Horizon

...even actors can not hide smiles however situation seems to be serious...

Reading some of the reviews make me wonder what people really expect. OK it's not a Hollywood blockbuster produced by a big studio it was a web series made by a company in Bristol who patched it together and released a movie and considering this whole 2hr movie had a total budget of £30k it's bloody good. I imagine most of the actors and crew would have worked for free and the budget went on the production costs. It's got a good solid story, the acting seemed a bit wooden in the first scene but soon loosened up the further it went on, the story flowed smoothly with plenty of backstory and we even had flashbacks a few hundred years. All in all it's not a bad movie for the very small budget, I'd recommend it to people who like indie movies just don't expect billion dollar budgets!

Lots going on in this one, mates. Lots of subplots and cross references and... blah. Lots of overly hysterical characters, gasping and grasping. No one central character to follow. So, lots of people to not care about. A big old spaceship, but lots of micro-action instead of the big picture. Fairly good fight choreography, but not much else going on. Seen on Tubi, the free streaming site, which has many indies, foreigns, older major studios, and now, live TV.

Combine Independence Day with an episode of Doctor Who from the 80's but with a cast where the vast majority doesn't even reach the level of community theater. Special effects were probably made with a free filter on a mobile phone and the action scenes are either very bad (gunfights) or rather good (hand to hand) that go on forever. The really awful thing was the writing. The story made NO sense and the dialogue was appalling. To give you an idea where you are getting yourself into : at a certain point they want us to believe that an EMP was activated while you still see the lights on in the background and they step into a working (modern) car. There's more "sci" in an episode of the Teletubbies. If I hadn't been locked up for the last year with this pandemic, I would have gone for a pint instead. I like to remind myself people worked very hard on these projects so I try to find something positive to write but I couldn't find anything. You have been warned.

... and watched the whole thing in the hope that perhaps the plot took some amazing twist that may have made up for an overall very substandard viewing experience. It didn't.
