Higher Power

I got into this last night without knowing anything about this movie, not seeing reviews, trailers, honestly never heard of this movie before last night and I was a bit skeptical...slow opening then about a qtr of the way through it hooked me..the ending was very unique, a hidden message was in the final scenes if you looked hard enough....don't skip this one.

So let's get one thing straight. The best thing about this movie is the overall story. There are some amazing effects done here too. Unfortunately, between some of the horrible dialogue, some poor casting (maybe), and some changes that should have been made to the script to lead to a more believable ending - this movie did pretty good for a rookie director. Looking for ward to see his next movie.

Admittedly the build up during the 1st hour was hard to sit through. Yes the other reviews are right.

We need to appreciate the incredible effort it is to create such a wonderfully original? Idea.

Great job guys- maybe just may be you will touch the right people in just the right way too which they begin to understand their OWN potential.

See it for yourself, make up your own mind.

Almost all of the acting is terrible and 90% of the dialog is horrible. You never develop any interest in what happens to any of the characters. The main character just does not seem right for the role. The reason I am able to give this movie four stars is because of the special effects. This movie is low budget, but some of the special effects are pretty amazing for it's budget. The end of the movie is kinda strange, but I can say it was almost good for about 5-10 minutes. The rest of the movie is pretty bad. Though, it is hard to get passed the first like hour and 15 minutes to get to the interesting part because most of the movie is just boring and one of the main character's daughters is irritating. Not the worst movie I have ever seen, but FAR from the best. Easily forgotten aside from that 5-10 minutes.

I was not expecting much from this but boy was I wrong!

Starts off a bit pedestrian but slowly builds into a really well crafted and visually stunning movie that blows everything else this year out of the water.

Some deep and thought worthy ideas that will make you think and that is what makes this one stand out for me, most especially when you consider the tiny budget it was made on. Compare this to turds like Pacific Rim II which had tens of millions wasted this is a masterpiece in comparison!

If you like your brain tweaked , are desperate for some real Science Fiction ideas that have not been copied a million times over and want to see what clever CGI guys can do with a small budget like John Carpenter and his crew did years ago on similar budgets then give it a go - you might just be surprised - I was!!!
