Gave up after the first 10 minutes
That was annoying
shareThe first 10 minutes is actually the most pointless annoying part of the movie

You really should be more patient, and you will experience some amazing things. This was a really good movie.

Some people have no patience. It's a strange world we live in now.

True dat.

If I rate this movie based on the trailer, wow great trailer, crappy movie. Some good stuff in it but that doesn't make it good just because. This movie really needed a writer that knows how to write movies and not short stories. π½π€£π€·ββοΈποΈ

So are you trying to say you saw the movie?

I saw it based on the trailer, which was pretty good. The movie itself felt like a really long episode of the Twilight Zone or something. There is so much filler in this to give it the full movie vibe but this to me seems more like a short story stretched out. Because of that, the pacing and all of Act III. i did not like this and cannot recommend it. It is better than say Jeepers Creepers: Reborn, which is probably the worse movie EVER made since Troll II...

So there's something wrong with being like a long episode of TTZ??

I never said that: "So there's something wrong with being like a long episode of TTZ."
You did. I said:

So, to summarize: I do not like this movie because it is a short-story stretched out to "technically be the length of a film," but has too much filler and a poorly written 3rd act for me to give this a pass as a movie people should watch and like. 6.7/10 on IMDB, 66% Audience score on RottenTomatos where the Audience score reflects more what the general public feels, while not terrible scores, they are not great either and I would have rated this around the same or a hair lower if I cared enough to vote.
It isn't so bad that it should be mentioned with Troll 2 or Jeepers Creepers: Reborn but not by much. The production of the movie was good. It has a good look, which is why this is even more disappointing to me. I have seen better movies dealing with the same concepts but it looked like a college or TV movie than a polished film. This has the polished look but due to ALL the other issues i have with the film it won't be getting a favorable response from me. I am objective about this and not subjective about this.
I didn't say you said that. I said it. I was asking you if there were anything wrong with being like a long episode of TTZ.

Only if the "stretching out" is used as filler to make it an actual film/movie and not a short. Shorts usually do not make their money back. At least this got sold to Amazon so someone somewhere made some money for their time/effort on the project but that doesn't make it good or even successful. I just saw another terrible movie last night called "Cosmic Dawn." Another movie with the same subject matter that goes nowhere. A lot of the same. A movie that looks like a polished movie but lacks any substance, characterology, plot that makes sense. Makes me really wonder how these movies get financed.
shareI glanced at the running time when I felt finally something was happening and I recall seeing about 21 mins.
Before then they are just walking around or standing around while talking and smoking, then they just do it in other places but the mysterious signal makes it more interesting.
It sure works up a bit of tension for payoff at the end, and then it kinda felt like a let down as the credits roll.
Yeah the third act was kind of a let down, but the movie had so much going for it. The dialogue was very witty, somewhat unbelievably and annoyingly so at first, the casting was excellent, the cinematography was impressive with it's long single camera scenes, constantly switching to the period-era television display etc. Most of all the acting especially the young lady that plays Fay Crocker, but it was all convincing.
sharecrikey all the thread titles are warning me off , but it has a reasonable imdb score
shareI enjoyed it. A friend of mine didn't. I don't think you would be upset of you watched it all the way through. You may not like it, but it's not such a terrible movie that it's a waste of life. The single shot was a well executed idea.
