Static Codes

I liked this movie. The story was good. The pacing was good. Very well filmed and the vfx was good. I liked the lead character's obstacles, especially with his daughter. I particularly am a fan of father daughter stories, so they grab at me and prick my heart. I don't want to give any spoilers but, I am pleased with the outcome of their relationship. This movie was entertaining to watch. I feel that the daughter's life from her point of view could have been added to this story and showed more of the origin of their conflict. From the way this movie ended, it looks like there may be a sequel. If there is one in the plans, I would like to see it. Good job.

Strengths to this movie are: Cinematography, set design and actor performances - all top-notch. This movie raises the bar technically speaking for low-budget indie scifi movies. A disabled older man, alienated from his daughter, who lost his wife in a UFO abduction years ago hosts a daily stream/podcast. He is a notorious drinker who is haunted by what happened to alter his life. The strained relationship between father/daughter is the heart of the movie. Some cool UFO effects during the final confrontation/finale. The government forces add tension and suspense. Worth watching, it's head and shoulders above the competition!

The only thing worse than making a crap movie is getting all your friends and coworkers to rate it high when they all know better.. They should be forced to watch this three times straight just as penance for their ridiculous fake reviews.. Taryn was in it for maybe a minute and thirty seconds tops.. Nothing sci fi about it other than the glowing arm.. Superficial drivel at its finest.. Maybe tattoo guy was ok, but the rest of it was poor acting, bad lighting, weak production values and a horrendous script with nothing to say and nothing at all entertaining about it.. Don't waste your time on this and reward then for what is probably just a money laundering gig..! 🙄

I was on the lookout for some indie magic, and bam, Static Codes hit me right in the feels. It ain't flawless, but let me tell you, it's a dope little sci-fi joint with mad heart. The story goes like this: Years post some traumatic event, this dude's claiming his wifey got snatched up by aliens, and now he's drowning in loneliness, ready to call it quits. This film brings a unique vibe I haven't seen anywhere else. The family dynamic between the daughter and Shane's old man character? Straight fire. "Static Codes" is the kinda flick I'd throw at my peeps when they're craving something fresh with a killer story and some real dramatic chops.

Static Codes is an engaging and truly unique film in the Sci-Fi genre. After a man's wife is abducted by aliens, he becomes obsessed with finding her. I thought the special effects were fantastic in this movie, for example, having a face come out of a screen is very difficult to pull off, so hats off to the special effects team. I think the cinematography was outstanding, especially during the night scenes, and I was super impressed by the drone shots in particular, clearly the work of an excellent drone operator. I liked the soundtrack too. This movie is raw and doesn't shy away from human struggles.
