Campus Code

Took me two days to watch this.

Let me start off by saying I only came across this film because I'm really into Conor Leslie projects right now.

This film is terrible right off the bat. The CGI, VFX, screenwriting, cinematography, lighting, and acting are all absolutely atrocious. It feels like a bad CW/Lifetime made-for-TV film that should never have been released.

This film had potential, maybe if given a better cast, budget, and creative team.

Perhaps a TV series could have helped execute it better.

Conor Leslie did great with what she was given though.

Just like all the negative reviews mentioned, everything about it was all bad. I would think that those looking at a future in directing films, would find this movie useful, as this is a fantastic training 'case study' on things to avoid.

Seeing Ray Liotta in the movie plus having THE Martin Scorsese as your dad (director Cathy Scorsese father), I assumed the movie would pick up towards the end and it would make up for everything! Unfortunately, it didnt.

Why watch it even after all the negative reviews? The movie I ordered was called 'Time Shifters' released in 2020! After some google search, I found the 'real' name of the movie "Campus Code" and then read these reviews!

Weird to read that the movie name "Campus Life" in 2013 changed to "Campus Code" in 2015 but doesn't explain why it changed to "Time Shifters" in 2020?

This movie should forever be free, it really is an offense to ask anyone to pay to rent this movie.

For being low budget the movie was good. I recommend watching it and formulating your own opinion and not listen to people who always expect A+(which is never possible anyway)

If it was only me, it would probably be OK. Then I could see this as some kind of surreal movie experiment. But it isn't unfortunately. This is about some college students (I think) go about their daily business and stumbling into "unusual" situations where they seem to gain supernatural powers. Maybe.

One reason this isn't very clear is that the plot is horrible. The weird, surreal things are laid one upon another from the start (and I mean start after the opening sequence) where people stop reacting, beat each other up, sell stolen stuff, bully one another for no apparent reason. And the characters "act" as this is all very normal. Then there is the "acting". It's horribly over the top on all accounts. Seriously, horribly bad including every cliché in an amateur directors "How-to manual" on directing. Including the goth group clad in black. :sighs: I guess it all somewhat is explained at the end, but even so - the explanation for everyones extremely erratic behaviour doesn't make much sense. Avoid if it's available for free on cable, run like mad in another direction if your significant other suggests you see it at a theatre.

At first this movie didn't look bad, then I saw the first minute and I couldn't believe how bad this movie was. It was filled with plot holes and bad acting. I would not recommend anyone to watch this.
