Shockwave: Darkside

Do not waste your a minute of your life on this. Its not even so bad its funny. The cardboard acting matching the cardboard space suits sums this thing up perfectly.

A total waste of time. 1 star because I can't give it less.

I sincerely feel sorry for folks trying to add to the Sci fi gendre. Obviously it's ignorance of the science field that leads directors spending on props and scripts that make a scientist like me cringe. I genuinely feel sorry for the actors who has to endure this laughable joke of a Sci fi movie.

Please contact tech guys with degrees in science before you make yourself a laughing stock in front of the whole world. Clearly you had no clue when making this movie. Frankly it's disrespectful to the Sci fi gendre. Please don't attempt it again. It will make you look the even a bigger fool. Sci-fi is not for you.

Watched this "movie" at FrightFest 2014 (a "world premiere" and I hope the last ever showing), it was by far the worst movie shown and an embarrassment for anyone involved. Never have I seen a cinema auditorium empty so quickly. Dubbed as a 3D movie, it was the worst use of 3D I have ever seen, with at least 50% of the shots viewable with no 3D at all; I ended up watching most of the movie without 3D glasses.

The CG looked unfinished, a very confusing use of HUD (used throughout the movie) made some moments unwatchable and the script was just plain awful.

There really was no need to make this into a movie, an audiobook would have been easier to digest.

The boxy spacesuits looked like they were made from cereal boxes, you could clearly see tape around the edges! My creativity in writing has waned so I'll bring this to an end, this movie is truly awful, some people should never make movies.

Avoid this piece of crap at all costs. I really tried to find any redeeming quality in the movie (if it can be called one) but I sincerely can't find any: the script is terrible, the production value is even worse and the direction might as well have come from a high school kid.

The movie lacks structure, any decent line of dialog or engaging plot, it has lame HUD's superimposed at random times and shows what might be the worst space suit design even for a low budget film.

I can't give it a 1 simply because I can imagine that somewhere there is a worse film worth of that rating, but I have yet to find it.

Shockwave Darkside 3D (as it was at the cinema) is unwatchable.

The 3D had big issues; I kept fiddling with my glasses to see if the problem was on my end but nope, it was the movie.

That aside, the story is non-existent, or at least well hidden.

And another thing, the special effects were truly horrible. Think "The Last Starfighter" from 1984 and you might have an idea what I'm talking about, except that at least that movie was doing something new. Who cares if you could argue they look vaguely realistic, they looked crap, like a not so expensive video game. Even budget effects can look good or fitting, or at least fun. These were none of the above. Cold, stark and clinical like Tron (1982), but Tron was meant to look like a video game - this was probably not.

But excluding all this, the acting was wooden and it was hard to recognize any of the characters, whose faces were obscured in ridiculous space suits.

I walked out after twenty minutes because I couldn't take any more.

To those who remained, I applaud you.
