Agent Revelation

"Agent Revelation", a sequel to 2017's "Agent", just reeks of Saturday afternoon B-movies from the past, in fact the VFX look like they're from the early '80s. The story is bad, the acting poor, the directing is nowhere - in fact, let's lay this travesty at the feet of actor/writer/director Derek Ting! You have to be at the top of your game to do all three for a film otherwise you end up with something you find in the bargain bin at Walmart for $1.99. The actresses that play "Billy" and "Dr Porter" are pretty attractive but that's not really appropriate for the characters, especially Billy who's military but looks like she's from a modelling shoot. There's all types of incongruencies throughout and Derek, as director, just whiffs on them. Another wasted attempt in the Covid-era.

I was duped into watching this movie on Tubi because it had a 97% approval rate from rotten tomatoes so I just rated rotten tomatoes at the same level as the peace Nobel commission. This movie is like a high school play. From the acting to the editing everything's wrong with this movie. - The dialog, special effects, cinematography, the baby-faced 'seasoned' soldiers that do nothing but training. They have no mission whatsoever. They wear empty-armored tactical vests while training with electric jolts. The robots (aptly named RUNTS) are always looking elsewhere. Everything in this movie is a cliché. You can see the so called twist from miles away. The idea was a good one but the execution is extremely bad!

This is not the worst movie I've ever seen... but not for lack of trying. The dialogue is poor, the action scenes are often clunky, and I could not find myself caring about any of them... even Worf. I would advise a hard no on this one.

This is a movie to watch when you are in the mood for something that really doesn't make a lot of sense all the time. The CGI isn't as bad as some reviewers claim, but it isn't great either.

I was so excited to see Michael Dorn! And then I wasn't. Either he has family involved in this movie, or he needed to money. Let's just say, it's not his best work.

The story is complicated and twisted. Who is doing what to whom is confusing. It's also very preachy. Plus, Jim (Derek Ting) wears his hat EVERYWHERE! What was it with that hat?! The few times he wasn't wearing one, it's obvious he isn't wearing it to cover up a bad hairline.

I have no idea what the story was about. Maybe it's because it didn't really hold my attention - nor did the hat. And I wandered off a time or two, but I blame the director for that. It was up to him to make a movie that kept me riveted in my seat - not wondering if I needed to do the dishes now.... or later.

Billy (Kayla Ewell) - is worth the whole watch. She is fantastic! Her comic timing is brilliant! I look forward to seeing her in the near future.

I can't recommend this movie. Or keep it on as background noise while you do the dishes. I gave it 4 stars because you HAVE to give a star to Michael Dorn no matter what AND one for Kayla Ewell.

Written. directed and acted..."say no more, say no more"
