One word: FUN. On the surface that's what this movie is.

It's also a really dark and unsettling look at modern society and how far we have come, or fallen. It deals with conspiracies and the idea that "nothing is what it seems" as the opening credits tell us.

I loved the music, and the single take action sequence.

You could complain about the plot being predictable, but it felt like that was the point. Like a classic video game. You've got your hero rushing to save the princess from the villain, and all his cronies along the way.

It's not perfect, but definitely worth a higher score than your average low budget action movie, and I'm glad it's getting the respect it deserves, even if the negative people seem the be mostly the ones doing the talking.

Like other reviewers who really enjoyed Beta Test, I am not vocal on IMDb. I think a lot of people who support movies often don't speak enough about their opinions, which leaves the negative voices to dominate the conversation.

So I decided to verify my account and post this review to help outsiders understand that this is actually a pretty fun and smart and well-made little movie.

I saw this film at a festival in Florida and must say that I was pleasantly surprised. I attend festivals every year, and most films I see aren't worth the view.

I should first say that this isn't a straight comedy. Dark is definitely the right word to use, but the film also has a dramatic side that is very effective.

A couple scenes were a bit long, but overall I really enjoyed the film. It has cult movie written all over it, and I'm sure it'll be released soon.

Easily Edward Furlong's best performance in many years, and Gary Busey was hilarious as well.

One of the best things though was the writing. The film is very obviously supposed to be "out there" so if you're looking for unbridled realism, stick to documentaries. It's crude, over the top, loud, and unafraid to poke fun at several social issues.

I overheard one or two people walking out of the theater talking about how offensive it was. Honestly, this movie SHOULD offend some people. It's supposed to, and it looks like it worked.

The crowd gave a great reaction as well. I'd recommend the film to anyone who isn't afraid to make fun of themselves and doesn't take life too seriously. If you're overly religious or can't handle explicit language, you probably should skip it.
