Black Road

The acting seemed adequate, the location was well-suited to the film's setting, and I didn't think that the movie suffered too much by its budget. However, it seemed to me that the premise of the movie -- a near-future where the brain could directly link with the computer -- was clamped onto a pedestrian mystery plot. What the movie needed above all else was a decent, polished script. Without it, we are left with a movie that tends to plod and doesn't make much sense. What the makers should have done is raise another million dollars and given it to a master scriptwriter for a rewrite. There were the seeds of something much better here.

Other titles I've seen from Gravitas were just awful and with the 3.8 RT rating, I was expecting more blech. I was, instead, plesantly surprised.

It's not a super-budget blockbuster, by any means, but if you are capable of looking at things with an open mind and trying to see what the cast and crew were trying to make you just might enjoy this movie.

Beautiful scenery, ok soundtrack, ok plot, decent acting (not going to nab any awards, but not terrible), an interesting cyborg approach, and no supermen had me happy with this movie. Just dont go into it expecting an Iron Man or Black Panther level of movie and you may like it also.

I don't understand how some people bashed this movie. I just wanted to let others know that there are people out there who did enjoy this movie. I thought the acting was just fine, and the CG was done well. The only part I'm upset about is the fact that Clyde wasn't in the film as much as I had hoped. I love the dialogue between Clyde and Dylan. There were quite a few humorous remarks made between them. Also, the ending is not what I expected and I'm a little confused. Other than those two things, I don't have anything else to complain about.

I understand that everyone is going to have a difference in their opinion. I just hope everyone else realizes that and act civil towards each other.

I LOVE sci-fi, but this was absolutely horrible. The only thing interesting in this is the implant, which is turned off part of the time. The sex scenes are ridiculous, and it seems that they are there due to lack of material content. I really do not understand why some of them were in the movie at all. They did not add to the content or quality of the story. This could have been an interesting idea, but instead comes off as cheesy and not well thought out. The acting is underwhelming for some characters, and over the top for others. I really tried to like this movie, but found myself fast forwarding through most of it. This is supposed to be futuristic, but that is not believable in this movie. The character's situations seemed to be silly and confusing. Even the music was awful.

The other reviewers with starry reviews probably got a dog in the fight, cause even a lobotomized zombie on crack will stay away from this stench of a movie. Acting is so bad that it made me cringe.

Wanna be director just need to go to film school - i don't even say "go back to film school" cause he obviously he never attended one or missed a lot of courses. I've seen wedding videos less cheesy than than.

I can't even say that CG are bad, they're just middle of the road, looking like some template from After Effects found on the net - it's just they're badly composited/integrated. I've seen amateurs on youTube doing way better than that with DV footage processed on a laptop.

But the worst, definitely is the acting part, or its lack of, once you passed the point where this "Sci-Fi" thing looks really that it got shot in rural Oregon last summer, missing all nice landscapes and scenery though. Adding a blue light to a barn doesn't make it look techy, film boys. You got a lot to learn in front of you. First and foremost would be how not to bore to death your unfortunate audience.
