Altered Perceptions

Director. Jorge Ameer's "Altered Perceptions" is a post apocalyptic feature film released in 2023. The screenwriter, Dr. Wayne C. Dees, a neurologist by profession, was inspired to write this narrative during the pandemic shutdown. As a scientist, Dees addresses current issues at hand with acumen. In this riveting thriller, a pandemic sweeps the nation in the face of civil unrest, rioting and deepfake news. Adults over age 60 infected with the scourge experience extreme danger to themselves and others.

The characters in this film, a politician, a few seniors and others are likable despite their foibles. In the midst of the chaos and crisis, a time traveling prophet presents as a source of. Inspiration. "Altered Perceptions" is an important film portraying the tenor of the times.

"Altered Perceptions" stumbles through its story with lengthy, redundant conversations likely to compel even its most charitable watchers to internally give up. It qualifies to become a late-night flick like Soylent Green, a poor take on a sci-fi nightmare or a bureaucratic parody targeting the intolerance of the folks in control. Get ready to have your psyche shattered.

It may seem like a relevant, seductive, sci-fi brain-sweeper that is Jorge Ameer's most impassioned and edgy film so far, but it contains no rationality at all from one moment to another, with the situations scarcely even relating to one another. It may be one of the most explosive, hypnotic, sci-fi nail-biters since Demolition Man, spoofing natural tragedy and cultural criticism, but stuff becomes so faulty in the couple of hours it takes to watch this movie that real societal problems seem delightful by comparison. Still, that cannot be a valid justification to check out this movie. "Altered Perceptions" stages an overcomplicated tale that tries to mix types without any defined order, and it stumbles shy of its goals.

One extra star for the naked guy, though, just because it's quite a choice.

Even though there are some interesting ideas, no other aspect of this film works. Most of the acting is amateurish. It makes you realize how difficult it can be to act convincingly.

It is overly long. Parts of the score is probably the best ingredient in this film. The cinematography is nothing special. I lost interest less than halfway through but did finish the film.

No way is this anywhere, anywhere near a 10 film. To keep the reviews relatively honest, maybe those involved in the film should only put one 10 review on here. I can only assume all the tens have some connection to the film.

Again, I rented this and I regret it.

Just ordered the Blu-ray after watching this film because it's definitely a must for my collection. I found the film to be very relevant to current events happening in our political eco-system. What I also liked about this thriller is that it's very unpredictable. After looking up the film on social media I found interesting that the main star Oran Stainbrook is running for Utah Senate inspired by the events happening in the film and in real life. This film will make an impression on you and I recommend it very much because of its insight and foreshadowing. Keep in mind this film was shot years ago and yet everything that was film is currently happening. I find this very intriguing and fascinating! Highlly recommended specially for those who are still undecided on who to vote for this November.

Imagine the events in this movie were taking place?! This is a different approach to society's doings, but with an actual realistic political perspective. What if the eldelry were commiting such crimes? We do live in a scary society controlled by politicians, which amongst everything else, they seek power.

Altered Perceptions is such an interesting film worth watching. It is not your typical Hollywood film with action and story timeline.

Wayne Dees is such a creative writer when it comes down to have an original Script. And Jorge Ameer is the eccentric experienced Director and artist that have this vision fulfilled. Watch it!
