The fact that 2,400 people gave this a 10/10, and there are very few votes for the numbers in between is clear proof that someone involved in the film either had everyone they know vote it up, or paid someone. I can't see anyone considering this a perfect film; I ended up turning it off halfway through after not being able to take any more of the amateurish dialogue/acting and non-stop cliches.
shareI gave it a 2. Didn't care for it at all. Too many reasons to go into.
I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!!
I gave it a 2 as well. Not a 1 just because the lighting was slightly interesting. But when you're complimenting the lighting, it's not a good sign. I can't imagine a single person genuinely giving this movie a 10.
"That kid kicked sand in Cool Cat's face!"
Yeah, somebody obviously paid for all of those fake votes and a few fake reviews too.
That's all the reason I need not to watch it.

Bangladeshi click farmers.
Well, not just bangladesh. Many 3rd world countries have companies that run "bot" accounts for hire. When cost of living is low, click farming is a sustainable business.
If you look at the reviews for this movie and then go look at the other reviews by the same accounts they all follow the same pattern - the other reviews are for big name movies, many of them 10 years old movie (what kind of idiot writes a review of the matrix today?), they were all either posted on the same day as the review of this movie or about one review a day for a span of a week or two.
My suspicion is that that the reviews for the big-name movies are actually plagiarized from other reviews. Those big name movies have so many reviews that nobody is going to notice a duplicate review, especially if it was copied from something written 5+ years ago.
So they build up artificial credibility with those other copied reviews. But none of them have any forum posts because that's harder to fake. You have to write something at least plausibly relevant to the forum's topic.

Absolutely agree it's skewed. It was one of the worst, if not the worst movie I've seen in the past year. Okay, the new Blair Witch...but even that had more sense than this quasi-artistic, pretentious crap which was not even elaborated right.
Some people indeed are fascinated lately by the movies that are not developed at all, everything seems mystical and everything is open, but it's not even closely statistically possible that we see such a difference between 9 and 10 stars (14 vs 2402). I expect more 9s in the future though.
But don't blame "paid" people from third countries, problem is that majority of these current 2680 people that gave a 10 is from the US. Not a problem to fake an account though so this surprises me quite much.
US users 2378 8.4
Non-US users 718 3.9
One couldn't seriously expect more than 10% of the top votes to be real.
