Meridian

While a short film this is also a test run by Netflix to see how it works across various algorithms. Netflix produced "Meridian" as test footage to evaluate anything from the performance of video codecs to the way Netflix streams look like on 4K TVs.

I give this 2 stars because I reserve 1 star for "worst ever made". This doesn't quite get there, but it's close.

This 11 minute short starts out interesting and looks like it's going somewhere. But then it hits the ground like cow poo. Plop. "Story" over... except there's no story. It's one of those "Let the audience figure it out" flicks... but there's nothing to figure out. Zero. Nada. No clues or hints or even the faintest whiff of anything. The only thing it has going for it is the appearance of an attractive woman. Those dames come a dime a dozen and you'll get a nickel in change. (Sorry, couldn't resist slipping in the 40's reference).

Videos like this don't belong on Netflix. This is something we'd see on a low-rating YouTube short, not a paid-subsription video presentation. Don't waste your time. It's not even worth the 11 minutes (or 9 minutes, because about 2 of those are end credits).

Style over substance. Great period setting, the guy playing the police captain was perfect for the part... and the setup was intriguing. But once he goes into the cave... meh! Like they didn't have a real idea, just the setup (see Yellowbrickroad). Also, the 'girl' was just mundane pretty... nothing weird or unearthly about how she looked... needed someone 'scary pretty'... Tilda Swinton or Amanda Plummer-ish.

Only eleven minutes long, the movie reminds me of a film students Twilight Zone theme movie short.

I was waiting a coherent scenario but couldnt find it . I dont wanna say waste of time but really mediocre
