Perfect: Android Rising

First off, I'd like to say that I'm not writing some fake review, I honestly thought it was OK.

I'm a filmmaker myself, so I know it's hard to make one and get it out there. I honestly see this guy's potential, Chris R. Notrolie the director tried his best to make at least a decent movie.

Now, I know this film has it's flaws especially with sound design, I feel right now that his films are a work in progress, you know, he might not have all the film-making tools he needs, especially boom mics, hell I don't even have those.

I do agree that some of the alternate titles aren't great ( "Terminator Rising" is definitely stupid). At my library I found it under the title "Battle-droid" that title is OK, it's original title "Perfect: Android Rising" is alright but I think this one "Battle-droid" just sounds better and he should have kept it that. Also at my library this film gets checked out quiet a bit so I know I'm not the only one who likes this film.

The acting of course is not going to be "very good" but don't go into this or any low budget science fiction action film expecting Oscar wining performances, that's just stupid, just go into this and have fun with it. I will say that the director needs to work on fight choreography and filming it well, because he films too close to the actors in those scenes.

I've seen this a few times and I liked it, besides this is the first amiture film I could see more than once, I have seen others at my library and they where really bad so bad in fact you feel stupid for watching.

Overall a halfway decent little action move that really isn't half bad. I give it a 3/10. Mildly entertaining from star to finish that is OK to watch once and awhile.

Maybe they filmed this movie using Iphones? It seems like only one camera was used. There are two types of shots. First, a long shot usually from about thirty to forty feet, and from the floor looking up. So when people are walking towards the camera, the picture is looking up at them from forty feet away until they get closer. The next shot is super-close-ups, so that each character 's face fills up the entire screen.

I gave up after about twenty minutes, it was making me dizzy. When the characters are talking you get one giant close up, then it pans to the other character's full face close-up when he or she responds, and on and on, like watching a tennis match.

All the scenes were at warehouses. The beginning has people (17 according to one character) breaking into a warehouse to rob it. They all get killed (only four are actually seen) by the world's most advanced android. This top-secret android is guarding a warehouse, so that tells you how dumb this movie is.

Another two scenes of the android prison (also a warehouse), and the android headquarters (also a warehouse) follow. More than likely all the same warehouse, from different areas. Apparently in the future everything looks like a warehouse.

Oh, and the android is chubby. That was kind of funny in a sad way.

I have watched this movie for 15 long minutes. It is ridiculous.

I pray to the God that, nobody waste their precious 1 or 2 minute of time for this movie.

If I could I would give this movie a -10 rating for jerky camera, extreme close-up, inaudible dialogs, continuous bad music, real bad acting by every actor/actress up-to 15 minutes, really awful special effect (forget max, Maya, avid, final-cut etc. even a 12 year old kid with photo-shop cs2 or higher can make better Giff than that)

I don't think this movie will get better miraculously after the first 15 minutes. Thus I am not watching any more.

Please believe me, this movie is so bad, that, I am writing this review to discourage you from wasting your time. Life is very short; at least watch Harold and Kumar. They are not funny at all; but they try their best!!!

Wow. I don't get to see movies THIS bad very often.

There's a huge trend right now for horrible movies that are bad for the sake of bad. See "Sharknado", and it's like. And those movies are infinitely better than this thing.

Right from the start, the dialogue is usually not even audible over the background music or sound effects... or when the characters aren't near the camera. Clearly recorded directly on the camera rather than looped or using booms or anything. It's just as well, though, since the acting is terrible and dialogue is delivered terribly.

The SFX are... you know, just about anyone can do decent SFX at home now. These still fall short. Other than screen overlays, nothing looks decent. The fake CGI blood spatter is bad enough, but the cheap painted on non-CGI blood? There's no excuse for that. Karo syrup and food colouring works better.

Oh, and hand-to-hand fight sequences... please. At least pretend your punch is actually connecting.

Which brings me to the plot, and the point where I admit that I couldn't make it past 40 minutes into this thing. 40 minutes of bad audio, bad dialogue, bad acting, bad SFX and a plot that you pretty much feel that you've already seen hundreds of times. No thanks.

I posted this review despite not seeing the entire movie because I noticed there are some positive, highly rated reviews for this movie. And claims that they are fake. I don't think they're fake, I think they were posted by people who are happy to watch, and enjoy, horrible movies. People, there is ABSOLUTELY NO NEED to put up with movies like this! There are GOOD movies out there. Hell, there are bad movies out there that are still better than this. You guys are just encouraging the trend of below-mediocrity, and I for one would really appreciate it if you stopped.

I have no spoiler news, because I could not finish watching this movie. The frame work was awful.

It is definitely a low budget on screen type film to me. I don't understand why the camera has to be up in the faces of the actors.

I wish I could have finished watching it, because I love science fiction, but when the camera man and director of the movie don't pay attention, it makes for a terrible viewing experience. Deleted it!!!!

I have ran across several of these types of movies, which seems to be interesting, and would be a great movie if the camera man and the director and producer would try to make the film look a bit more professional.

Really disappointed I couldn't tolerate the screening.....
