Tinker'

This is a family drama. Good acting but the plot and characters seem to go in different directions. If you're looking for good Sci-Fi this is not it. And yes, I registered just to tell you this.

This is the type of movie that you have to pay attention to. It is not full on action packed, it is a thinker! I drove 5 1/2 hours to see this at a film festival and I would do it all over again! If you are the type of person that likes to truly fall in love with characters and understand them from the depths of their souls, then watch this movie! You won't regret it!

This movie has no point. The only thing i got out of this is the writers really like the idea of crystals having some magical powers or something? The "machine" the guy is working on makes no sense. The only reason i'm giving this 3 stars is because the filming was good, if there was some sort of meaning behind the plot it would be enjoyable. I don't understand how there are so many good reviews for this film

It was difficult getting through this film. Not one of the characters seemed human. Lots of ideas which don't really fit together. A very disjointed film in that quirks of each character are revealed, but it all seems meaningless. There is no suspense, apart from.just waiting for the end of the film. Many scenes are drawn out. The men are all unecessarily quiet or grumpy. When the kid asks 'where are we going' I felt exactly the same way about the film. It seems like the director started filming without a script, and then just made it up as he went along, but never really coming up with a consistent thread or story. "You look to the stars? I look to the stars. Some say fools look to the stars. You're not wrong. Four sides, four different winds. Energy comes from all around you and is drawn to the earth"

If that type of dialogue is gripping for you, as well as other unrelated and disjointed hippy pseudoscience, then maybe you'll like this film. My guess is most audiences are more sophisticated. Well, anyway; overall a film with little emotion, little engagement with the characters and a meandering 'plot' (using the word plot loosely).

Yip that is what i do now to find out the real reviews; quite sad really that the ratings cannot be relied upon now to find good movies to watch - The first 10 reviews on here are all false shills with only one review under their belts and giving a movie 9 or 10 means its the best movie you have ever seen imho and those come about once in a blue moon if you are a real movie goer these days.

Then come the real reviews - A soon as I saw the 1/10 reviews I kinda knew what to expect and should have switched off but due to my Movie-OCD once I have started to watch I must finish and so I did - Damn OCD!!! lol >;O)

Well , what can I say but ... you guessed it , the 1/10 reviewers were kinda right. I would rate the movie more of a 3 out of 10 as it does have some merit and has some pathos and thought provoking moments but it really could have been condensed into a short 30 min episode of Under The Dome!
