    The Nature of Man, written by people in Monkey Masks

    Pop quiz hotshot, you wake up one morning and go see your friends. They are suddenly acting very evasive and hostile towards you. Do you a) ask them what is the matter and wait for an answer, or b) just ignore it and carry on as though nothing is wrong. What do you do. What do you do?

    If your answer is a, welcome to the real world. If your answer is b, you will love this film. An interesting premise ruined by people deciding not to act as any normal person would do. Indeed, if they did act normally, this film would be around 30 minutes long and actually be a really good short film. Such as it is, we have to sit through an hour and a half of a mish mash of genres, to an ending that basically could've been tied up long before you get through your first handful of popcorn.

    Anti Matter, or Worm, follows the story of 3 scientists who invent a wormhole, basically. I couldn't tell you any more because the first part of the film is so filled with scientific terminology that they could've been making anything, really. It then turns into scifi, a bit of horror, a random chase movie thriller, and a romantic drama. It's all well done all the whole, the acting is decent, directing is solid and the script is serviceable. So far, so 7 or 8 out of 10.

    The problem is that the story, in order to fill a decent run time, becomes so convoluted that it begins to detract from the film's central ideas. The chase scene is so bizarre, it seems to have been taken from another film. The various red herrings are unnecessary and increasingly ridiculous, culminating in a comical playground chant that I genuinely couldn't work out was meant to be serious or not. There's even a gratuitous sex scene, which possibly ranks as the most shoe-horned excuse for nudity that I've ever seen.

    It's so frustrating that a movie with an interesting idea and decent cast and crew would feel the need to keep adding more and more nonsense, and culminate in an ending which is nonsensical to the point of just kind of shrugging and going, "well, yeah, there you go". There's even a touch of ambiguity about it, which would've had me walking out if I wasn't comatose already.

    How you like this film will depend entirely on my opening question. If you don't mind the fact that everything that happens could have been easily explained straight away, and not slowly dragged out, than give it a shot. I don't like it, but I respect it.

    It was great at times and boring and annoying at others. It tallied average.

    There is a philosophical component to the plot of the movie. I think that ruined it. Other than that, it started cool, the pace was good, the story was interesting, I was hooked. Then, at about half, the entire thing turned into the old "what is going on? Am I insane or is it real?" cliché which I personally abhor. And then the ending explained some things, but didn't really make me understand why I spent a quarter of a movie watching scenes that didn't make sense. And then it ended with a weak "don't play god" thing.

    I really wanted it to be more than a back of a napkin plot twist at the end, but it wasn't. So much setup for something that was basically a butt of a joke. Physics doesn't turn into metaphysics just because you equate apples with oranges.

    Bottom line: it started great and it fizzled in the end. The structure of the movie was good and the ending was artistic enough to not really matter in the overall story.

    Pleasantly surprised

    A few plot holes but it kept my attention throughout

    Very good film true to what scifi drama should be

    I had no idea this was a low budget/indie film until I read that it was. Keep in mind there are no high tech CGI gimmicks as far as I can tell and no famous Hollywood actors in it. Still, the film was good, much better than the usual low budget drivel. The acting was really good. The director must have made a choice to not use his limited budget on CGI and that must be a good decision because low budget CGI makes a movie look like low budget. Low budget usually also shows in the props and studio setting that is used. Again, good choices must have been made so that the low budget is hidden. Excellent work. I can only imagine what this crew can do with more $$$. Thanks

    Pretty good for a low budget sci-fi

    Whilst there are irrelevant side plots, and some parts are slow, it's pretty well acted, the tension and mystery are built well, the the ending is surprising.

    Obviously the science makes no sense, but that's not what stories are for. A good effort.

    • The very ending, after the reveal, shows the remains of her blood test and the caterpillar from one of the first tests with foreboding music playing. The seems to indicate a serious problem could be brewing, but I don't know what the problem could be. Any ideas?
