Interpreters

This is a 2 hour movie in which the whole plot is revealed in 20 seconds by an hologram, some 10 minutes before the end... The movie is full of pointless and boring sequences that have zero value to advance the plot or the characters. All other sequences are mostly boringly longer than they should be.

I blame this on lazy screenwriting and lack of editing experience. Looks like it started off with an interesting concept, but then... they ruined it completely with subpar movie-making skills. The whole movie looks like it was made by a cinema student trying too hard to show that he can make movies like a grown-up, with lots of directing clichés, such as 4-shot sequence of guys exiting their cars, complete with close-up on the guys boots next to the car door, and lots of bad dialogue. I can't understand why people with no talent try to do indie movies. The first thing you need to really nail it is a great script, and that's the thing for which you don't need a big budget. But you do need talent and hard work. There are a couple of good actors in this one, but there's really nothing else worth mention.

I actually could tell this was going to be a dud right from the start. A lousy music score is always a sure sign that a movie is going to suck. Only talentless directors and producers can put up with a lousy music score.

There is no cure for sloppy writing and no antidote for lack of talent. I suggest the director finds another way to make a living. He's in the wrong business.

It had potential and the lead actor was pretty decent but in the end I still don't know what happened. There's a scene where I think a bad guy may have been trying to explain it but it was really short and he mumbled so who knows. Without a clear plot it's just a bunch of people running around shooting things.

Way too many unfinished story lines, even to resolve in a sequel! Lots of dead characters who were never fleshed out, pardon the pun. This story has a lot of potential. But it's impossible to understand where things are going when so many characters are killed off with little to no explanation. Even the ending was a bust because I still don't know where the story is supposed to end.

If there ever is another movie, there will be too many broken story lines to resolve, essentially requiring you to watch the original all over again. Otherwise it would take half of the new movie to make sense out of what happened in the first.

Something about ancient aliens, back to "play". Lotsa action, gory gore, not much else.

Dark, dumb, annoying and anorexic. The actors needed to drink more coffee, and the baddie aliens looked absoluteley stupid with silly putty or whatever that is all over their heads. The high-tech props provided some comic relief from a dead premise presented in such lackluster fashion that you never know what is going on (beyond some deep state plot to take over a tiny town) and you couldn't care less. If you stick it out there are a couple of kewl head smash / blown off scenes that almost make it worth the watch.
