Polypore

Polypore, a film about a young man on the run from a multinational pharma company, is an in recent times increasingly rare specimen of thought-provoking and intelligent science fiction that nevertheless never gets dull. And while I have to admit the very complex story is at times hard to follow (in its complexity rather than its basic narrative), it is incredibly well-paced, finds the right balance between delivering a serious message and outright satire, and has an air of mystery to it throughout to keep the audience guessing. Add to that some great action and locations, a rich visual language, and a solid cast, and you've got yourself a pretty good movie. Recommended!

It probably was an challenge to produce this on a small budget, and deserves recognition. But;

For an independent movie, it's pretty ambitious. Maybe too much. The script is all over the place. The photography relies a lot in the post- processing, it compromises the immersion.

There are some interesting characters, like the french guy and the guerrilla leader. But they feel underdeveloped, they needed more screen time. Again, there was too much going on.

When it was intended to be funny, it was funny. But when it tried to be serious, not so much.

In the other hand, it does makes some good points about corporations and such. I am looking forward for more movies from this studio.

Amazing sci-fi thriller, it draws your attention, great concept, curiosity and interest. incredible special affects, the film has a good set tone, did an great job, you can tell their was so much effort in this project and ambition, even though it gives you many characters, it makes up for all the imaginative and creative things that are brought in the film. If you are a lover for SCI-FI crazy, creative flicks, this film is for you! You will be amazed . It does have a lot of elements in the flick but adds unique artistic style to it. For a independent flick, Jesse Barack did an excellent job . Also funny film as well. I would recommend this film to anyone and hopefully every gets the chance to see this flick and see how much hard work was done in the independent movie. Excellent scenes and the philosophy of it, so much originality into it. Fantastic Job!

This film is a prime example of independent cinema giving us what Shlollywood has not been able to give us, original stories. This is a science fiction film that makes you pay attention, if you miss a few minutes you miss a lot. This story about a young man on the run from a global pharma company while dealing with a sudden life alter transformation keeps you curious until the end. Definitely an unpredictable script that has everything you would want out of a good sci-fi film, a mixture of humor, social commentary and WTF moments. Both actors who played as Paul did a good job of selling that they were the same character. The special effects in this film were also well done for an independent production and in general this film was a lot of fun. I highly recommend it to those who are looking for something original to watch and fans of intelligent science fiction.
