Prototype

Its another low budget sci-fi. You shouldnt compare that kind movies with known sci-fi movies but there is things not about budget. Masks, lipsyncs, dialogs are very bad. Lighting and cinematography not bad but why always close shots, is this daily soap opera ?. Dear cameraman and boom operator, next time check reflective surfaces twice.

I have no idea who made that mask but it's the worst i've ever seen.

You can clearly see a mans eyes and skin under it? Why did they even bother?

You can't take any of this movie serious with that going on, besides that the dialogue is so ridiculous.

I can't rate this any lower than 1 but I wish I could.

SOOO BAD!

You know when movies are so bad you actually laugh. This was just below that, which means it was super ridiculously bad, but not enough to have fun laughing at it. It was just bad.

Not only is this a horrible movie, the ONLY positive review here on IMDB was this one:

"Very Thought Provoking, A Gem.

Petermundy-898528 April 2022 Very interesting film with insight and imagination. If a film makes you think, that's got to be a good thing. Very impressed. I was particularly taken by the fine directing and good writing. Also the actors should be complimented. The costumes were very convincing."

Ummm... That review was written by "Peter Mundy" John Peter Mundy was the "DIRECTOR" of this atrocity of a "film. FAKE REVIEW meant to try to boost his score on IMDB.

This "film" has the worst "costumes, the worst writing, the worst "acting," the worst "filming (iPhone 6??) and the worst "Director" ever! Don't waste your time on this!

Well, sure the movie's synopsis sounded interesting enough, and it was essentially why I sat down to watch the 2022 sci-fi movie "Prototype" from writer Sam Gurney and director Jack Peter Mundy. Sure, I hadn't even heard about "Prototype" prior to watching it, and I am not particularly keen on sci-fi movies. But the synopsis made it sound interesting enough.

And what sounded good on script and paper should perhaps have stayed on paper, because the transition from script to the screen wasn't a good one. The whole movie was just oozing with amateurish atmosphere. And it sort of held the movie back in a very bad way.

The storyline was okay, but not great though. I will say that the movie can be watched, and perhaps even enjoyed if you are a sci-fi fan and can get past the amateurish feel that flows from every single aspect of the movie.

The special effects and designs of the androids was just laughably bad. It was so painstakingly obviously just an actor wearing a synthetic latex face over his own. And no effort had been made to make a smooth transition from the eye sockets of the latex mask to the actor's own eyes. Nor had they even bothered to try to fuse the mouth of the mask and actor together in a seemingly meld. It was just painful to watch, and it made the movie feel even more amateurish and low budget than necessary.

This movie was a swing and a miss, even for a sci-fi movie. And this is definitely not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on, not even if you are a sci-fi aficionado.

My rating of "Prototype" lands on a two out of ten stars.
