    Waste of time

    Pathetic acting and story line. No idea why this movie has a rating of 8.3. Based on thought of watching the movie, but please do not waste your time, even if you have ample to waste.

    I was waiting throughout the movie, to have a twist and turn or something that's worth a good rating. But I was disappointed to the core.

    I was fed up to see the actress giving up at every possible situation. Everytime the actress dives to save someone, ends up someone else saving her.

    The lady simply gets married and has kid, even after being so messed up.

    It is not a emotional or romantic movie. It is just a irritating movie.

    Waste of Money & Time

    I had to leave the movie in interval, I couldn't tolerate such a mess.

    The Starfish movie, despite its ambitious premise, ultimately falls short of expectations on multiple fronts, leaving the viewer with a sense of dissatisfaction and missed potential.

    One of the major drawbacks of the film lies in its narrative execution. The plot, which initially promised a unique and intriguing storyline, quickly devolves into a convoluted mess. The filmmakers seemed to prioritize style over substance, resulting in a confusing narrative that leaves the audience struggling to piece together the disjointed events. The lack of a cohesive and well-developed storyline undermines the entire viewing experience, leaving viewers disoriented and detached from the characters' journeys.

    Character development is another notable weak point in Starfish. The film introduces a cast of characters with the potential for depth and complexity, yet their arcs remain underexplored and unconvincing. Viewers are left with one-dimensional characters who fail to evoke empathy or investment. The protagonist's motivations and internal struggles are particularly poorly conveyed, making it challenging for the audience to connect with or care about the central figure's fate. The film misses an opportunity to create a meaningful emotional impact, as the characters lack the depth needed to resonate with the audience on a personal level.

    Pacing issues further exacerbate the film's problems. Starfish suffers from inconsistent pacing that oscillates between sluggish and frenetic, making it difficult for viewers to fully immerse themselves in the unfolding events. The abrupt shifts in tempo disrupt the narrative flow, hindering the establishment of a cohesive and engaging viewing experience. This lack of pacing cohesion results in a film that feels disjointed and haphazardly put together, preventing any sustained tension or emotional resonance.

    Special effects, a crucial aspect of any modern sci-fi film, fail to impress in Starfish. The visual elements intended to bring the fantastical elements of the story to life appear lackluster and dated. In an era where audiences have come to expect cutting-edge CGI and immersive visual experiences, Starfish falls behind, relying on subpar effects that diminish the overall quality of the film. The lack of attention to detail in the visual presentation serves as a constant reminder of the film's budgetary constraints, detracting from the audience's ability to fully immerse themselves in the fictional world.

    The film's soundtrack, rather than enhancing the viewing experience, proves to be a distraction. The music, seemingly discordant with the film's tone, fails to complement the on-screen action or evoke the desired emotional responses. Instead of contributing to a cohesive atmosphere, the soundtrack often feels like an afterthought, further highlighting the film's lack of attention to detail in crucial areas.

    One of the film's most significant failings is its inability to deliver a satisfying resolution. The climax feels rushed and unsatisfying, leaving numerous unanswered questions and loose ends. Viewers are left feeling unfulfilled and wondering if there were aspects of the story that were overlooked or simply left unexplained. A well-executed resolution is essential for providing closure and leaving a lasting impression, and in this regard, Starfish falls disappointingly short.

    In conclusion, Starfish, despite its initial promise, ultimately disappoints on multiple fronts. From a convoluted and poorly executed narrative to underdeveloped characters, inconsistent pacing, lackluster special effects, and an unsatisfying resolution, the film fails to deliver a compelling and engaging sci-fi experience. While ambitious in its concept, the execution leaves much to be desired, resulting in a cinematic endeavor that struggles to leave a lasting impact on its audience.
