Movie was very hollow and pointless. what's worse is all the fake positive reviews.
'Mad Genius' did intrigue me. Despite it being very lowly rated, from personal experience quite a lot of film rated under 4 are rated low for very good reason, and with a lot of the reviews being tepid at best (quite a lot of them negative, with some passionate, overly so perhaps, defending), the advertising looked cool and the concept was quite intriguing.
Seeing 'Mad Genius', while not finding it a particularly good film it to me wasn't that bad. Have seen far worse recently, quite a lot of them higher rated, and far worse overall. Although the execution was severely patchy and quite a few elements are easily criticised, it didn't strike me as if those involved weren't trying, if anything there was somewhat of a biting off more than they could chew feel to me. Actually understood what they were trying to do and respect their efforts even if it was not my cup of tea, will not join the fake reviews conspiracy theory, something that has been polluting the internet to an out of proportion degree for some time now and although there is suspicious activity admittedly for quite a number of times it is getting really annoying.
Visually, was expecting 'Mad Genius' to be much worse than it was. Low-budget films with a higher budget than the one for 'Mad Genius' actually manage to be comparatively quite a bit cheaper. While finesse is not a strong suit and the effects are very hasty-looking, there was effort made here. It is slickly shot with some very striking angles that progress rather than distract and the sets and lighting are atmospheric, a world that is easily immersive.
Really did like some of the ideas conceptually and there were some neat video reactions and real-time social media comment touches sprinkled throughout. The acting is hit and miss, but Faran Tahir chews the scenery enjoyably and Scott Mechlowicz is likeable enough.
Chris Mason's performance is uneven, sometimes in command and amiable and at other times bland and unsure. Spencer Locke looks wide-eyed and frightened the entire time, pretty much the only notable expression in a role with practically nothing to it. The characters were very flimsy in development and the more interesting and better performed ones are on screen too little. A couple of elements are uneven, the fast cuts in some of the camera work could have been used less (the overuse became gimmicky) and the music while quite nice and groovy on its own intrudes a little too much and didn't always fit within the film.
Would have liked more clarity and tightness in the script, some of it felt rambling and muddled. The story had some great ideas but too many are not followed all the way through, they are not exactly new but intrigued but the film executed them too predictably and ordinarily for my tastes. Character motivations generally could have been much clearer, had the constant feeling of why is he or she doing this and what do they want, and the middle act is on the sluggish side.
Overall, a nice try but didn't do much for me on the whole. 4/10 Bethany Cox

Why so many 10/10 reviews. The plot, if it has one is meh. I was confused through out till the end.
Remember that 90's movie Hackers, remember how bad that was? Well you would think after over 20 years on the concept of young, drug fuelled, pretty looking digital geniuses wanting to change the world that it would have evolved by now but no.
Some trippy visuals, a Bond-esque villiain in training, faux science mumbo jumbo, teenage hormones and recreational drug taking is all this film really amounts to.
For all those handing out 10 star reviews here (movie marketing people) it screams of desperation and not believing in the product you've sent out into the world. We see through it, please stop !!
I give it a 3 cause I made it to the end and 2 of those stars are for me achieving that!!

30 minutes in and I had to stop - I rarely do that once I've started a movie. The positive reviewers are definitely fake accounts (having only reviewed this movie) and should not be trusted. I thought I'd give it a chance and it's a half hour of my life I'll never get back.

- CuriosidadesOn the last day of shooting, the team arrived early to the final location at Elysian Park overlooking downtown LA, to learn that the city had double booked the location. A city wide orchestra event was taking place, and there were 10 saxophone players standing in the center of the location. With daylight running out, the Mad Genius crew had to work with the saxophone players, stopping every 15 minutes to let them serenade a new group of concert goers.
