Algorithm: Bliss

Everyone behaves in a completely illogical fashion. The basic idea is just silly. The budget production grates and i thought the lighting was bad. I think that you would regret watching it.

The pace of the film is very slow, it's rather dull and predictable, "low-budget" seems really low in everything: script, props, sound, locations, even some acting.

It has no notable plot twists, it does not evoke any thrill, excitement, compassion, plain interest - nothing - thus this movie resembles rather unpleasant documentary which you force yourself to watch till the end, although guessing that it cannot end well.

The moral of the main character's story: don't let your passion outgrow to obsession that can consume you with very unfortunate consequences.

It would be a nice short film (20-30 min), but as a full-feature it sucks...

Although I must admit that acting of Sean Faris and Sarah Roemer was rather good and believable, compared to other actors, that is why I can give this flick 3 out of 10 stars (and not 0/10).

P. S. Interestingly enough, in the end of credits I saw a line "A film by Isak Borg and Dena Hysell. ©App Film, LLC 2014", so the question is: why is it marked by IMDB as made in 2020, and not in 2014?...

Stumbled across Algorithm Bliss on Prime and seriously loved it! Finally a good indie, sci-fi (mixed with scary) movie worth watching on there.

I found the initial concept of controlling emotions through modern technology to be a fresh approach on the subject. The initial idea however seemed to devolve into more of a horror movie involving a number of the protagonists. The movie never seemed to fulfill the expectations of either genre leaving the viewer disappointed on both levels.

This movie would have worked better as a straight-to-video VHS B-movie in the '80s with a touch of David Cronenberg thrown in, or perhaps an entry for Hammer House of Horror back in the day.

As it stands now, it's absurd! Even the poster is a lie - Vic doesn't use a handgun in the movie. Watch it if you're not expecting a blockbuster, but a low-budget affair with some ropey editing and a poor audio/foley mix.

Still, they made a movie so congratulations.
