Área 15

When I first spotted this movie, I took a look at its score here on IMDb, and found it to be a 8/10. Thinking that I had finally found a horror comedy movie that could match (or even exceed) some of my all- time favorite movies, zombieland or Shaun of the dead, I was excited to go see it. I was very wrong. This movie has the worst acting I have ever seen filled with cheesy jokes and an awkward feel throughout, average sets and props with items and locations I could find myself, and a straight forward plot. The reviews given are false, and are not truthful to the quality of this movie. I am not certain, but I believe these reviews are from a screening where they were told to rate it highly, or possible these were simply people working on the movie itself. Either way, not worth watching what-so-ever.

Firstly, I don't really care for rating movies on IMDb I only care for looking at the ratings to determine the "quality" of the movie... to determine whether it's worth watching or not.

8.5/10... That's the worst rating I've ever seen, it's so far from what the actual rating should be and honestly this is one of the biggest false ratings I've seen on IMDb and hence rating this movie 1 out of 10 to make the rating represent what the movie actual is rather than a big lie, but had the rating not been so off I'd given it 3/10 on a generous day.

The movie...

It tries to be comedic, but it fails. I actually can't see how somebody could think that the "funny" acts in this movie would be funny...

I would give myself a medal of honor for enduring this movie.

Let's be honest, even if people had a weird and twisted sense of humor, at best the rating would be 4-5 out of 10, but 8.5 out of 10?

I understand people like to falsely rate movies when the crappy movie has their favorite actors in them and all that but I actually truly don't understand 8.5/10 with over 2k+ ratings...

EDIT: Going through the "reviews" I had to come back and edit my "review"... I don't actually know what to say other than that this pisses me off, crappy movie gets good ratings because of idiots meanwhile really good movies get crappy ratings because of idiots.

I... got... no... words... to... explain... what... this... is...

This was more of a rant than a review but rating a movie for any other reason than rating the movie angers me, that's not what the rating system is for...

EDIT2: Would be nice if IMDb had a mass "block/ignore" option that you can use to ignore future ratings by people who voted a certain movie above 5, that way in the future you wouldn't watch another movie rated 8+/10 that sucks and confuses you for a whole hour and makes you question What The Actual Fu...dge!

This is the kind of movie that will either get good reviews or really get trashed, and I think it depends on the person looking at it. Those who think of military people as these saintly people, who piously go fight our wars with Jesus on their minds, etc, are gonna hate it. Likewise those who can't see broad farce and see all kinds of micro aggression's and the like are going to hate it.

For me, as lowbrow and over the top and so forth it was, it was funny, because the humor in it is not meant to be hateful, it is gleefully poking fun at everything and anything, including themselves, and I think it likely represents the dark, out there humor that veterans, especially combat veterans, seem to have. I saw a podcast recently talking about Chris Kyle (American Sniper fame), and his platoon leader and CO said the movie made him out tot his seriously, saintly person when he was a funny, full of hell kind of guy, as good a soldier as he was...if you are easily grossed out, offended, think the military are all soldiers of Christ on a sacred crusade, I don't recommend this, but it you can laugh at people laughing at themselves, it is funny as hell.

Just watched it and it was very hard to not throw a brick at my TV, it is that bad! The ratings and reviews on IMDb giving it a 10 star rating are bogus. The acting is wooden, effects are cheap and the jokes are cheap and childish. Avoid this one as wasting any of your precious time on this can be better spent.

0 out of 10 although I gave it a 1 out of 10 as that's as low as I can go ratings wise on IMDb.

And here is some more text so this review makes it onto IMDb. And here is some more text so this review makes it onto IMDb. And here is some more text so this review makes it onto IMDb.

I want to preface this that I am an active duty soldier with 7 years in special operations. I thought that being in the military this comedy would resonate with me. This was absolutely terrible. Nothing about this movie was funny. I thought there would be a good amount of team room humor in this movie. It failed to live up to expectations. I related to absolutely nothing this movie tried to play up as comedy.

I gave it a 3 because it was just barely enough to keep my attention. this was more in part bc i wanted to see how the fucktardery was going to end. The sponsor plugs were absolutely annoying and definitely added to the poor quality of the film.

i would watch Sharknado again over this movie.
