The Honeymoon Phase

3 out of 5 stars.

The Honeymoon Phase is a fair science fiction thriller film. About a newly wed couple going into an experiment trial. As the company observes how the couple are reacting towards each other for a month. They are given a house. Food. Furniture and supplies. Until the wife starts questioning if her husband is lying to her.

Interesting concept and plot. Could have been so much more. The script does fall apart by the time it reaches its third act. The writer feels like they ran out of ideas on where to go. When the twist is revealed which is surprising. But it falls so quick that it ruined the whole movie. Especially the ending.

The cast did decent with there performances. The direction was okay. The script and ending kind of wasted a good idea to having an uninspired shocking ending.

Even though this movie is far from being the first of its kind, there's potential at the beginning for something a bit original. Sadly, it soon turns out the story needed much more work. The ending is ridiculous.

Don't get fooled by the 10/10 reviews, they're all coming from new subscribers who are obviously here on a mission. Some of their nicknames are even related to the movie in a way or another, like johnjcarroll-61039 or bcarroll-37501 (Phillip G. Carroll Jr. directed the movie). Couldn't be more obvious...

Released the same year, Vivarium is in my opinion a much better attempt.

How , how you can ruin an idea this good like this ?!?! HOW ?

I give this one star because of the obviously fake reviews.

It is exasperating that producers/directors/or whoever resort to this stupid tactics. A film is expected to stand on it's own merits, and if whoever makes film can not tolerate public opinion then they shouldn't be in the business.

if public opinion is poor then filmmakers should learn from it and improve their art - not try and create some false delusional perception they have of themselves.

It started out with a good synopsis and was interesting for the first 45 mins then it all went down hill very quickly. The acting becomes pretty horrible around half way through and the ending is just ridiculous and pointless which offers no explanation to what's happening and leaves you wondering what was the point of the whole movie. Very poorly executed and a waste of 90 mins on the aircraft I could have otherwise spent sleeping!
