How It Ends (2018)
4/10
The Title of this Movie foreshadows the problem with this movie..
14 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
This movie kind of starts alright and then just kind of meanders along with your usual scenes of post apocalyptic devolution of humanity with normaly law abiding citizens turning into feral animals fighting for survival. Its punctuated with some pretty intense scenes of desperation fueled violence as you'd expect when the lights go out & the cops go home. But it barley adds up to a cohesive narrative that you could call a plot. More like a group of vaguely related short stories mashed together in post production. To be fair these short movies are on the whole well portrayed, believable & well acted out giving it a watchable vener with a backdrop of mystery over what is actually going on, hanging in the air... BUT...!!! Nothing is ever tied up or reveled along the way & then, just when you think it's all going to come together... THE MOVIE STOPS... & That ladies & gentleman, "IS"... "HOW IT ENDS"... Leaving myself & the three friends who watched it with me, thinking one thing... ~~~~~ W. T. F....??!!!

This movie has no ending, it just stops... Leaving you thinking there must be a part two or a sequel or f'n something, cause they can't be serious... Its like the budget ran out or they ran out of room on their harddrive or the main actors were all killed in a plane crash (god forbid) cause all of a sudden mid exciting scene its just 🎬 CUT...!! & THATS IT....!!!

The Machine (I) (2013)

LOW BUDGET, BUT HIGH QUALITY...
15 February 2021
This movie was made for less than $1M, which surprised the hell out of me... The movie and storey line are easily in the league of huge budget Hollywood Blockbusters... It is a must see Film for any Sci-Fi buff & is a tribute to how good a movie can be without the input of Hollywood producers, & financiers, so called "Great Ideas" of what they believe makes a movie a hit at the Box Office, rather than focusing on good old fashioned, entertainment, through thought provoking, storey telling...

Intriguing Concept

Interesting idea, though it seemed to become less adhered to as the film progresses...

The Cure (I) (2020)
3/10
Hilariously low rent action sequences save this farcical flop......
16 November 2020
As the reviews from who I can only assume are the directors friends and family, point out, it was done on the cheap. Which in their dubious opinions make this a great movie. Surprisingly I tend to agree on this point but not I presume, for the same reasons... The only thing that makes this movie in any way entertaining, is the comically low budget action scenes, seemingly shot using scale models & old school camera tricks, reminiscent of the Thunder Birds puppets, that on a few occasions had me in stitches... The truly funniest thing though is it's 7.4 out of 10 rating... This 'load', does not even stand up as a Tv show. There is no real storey line, so I guess the action is the guts of the thing & it is completely gutless in that respect, so what you have left, when all's said and done. Is a big fat nothing.. I realise this is a harsh critique, but the rating of 7.4 / 10 sets the bar so astronomically out of reach of this crap feast, I felt some balance was required... I mean one reviewer rated it 10/10 & described this turd of a movie as close to perfection.. However I still give it a solid 3 out of 10, purely on the basis that the action shots are so terrible, it's entertaining on a comedic level, & short enough that this offering to the gods of 'slap stick' has not enough time to wear thin... Just keep in mind, it's 37 minutes of your life you can never get back...

The Outpost (2019)

Intense Battle Sceans...
21 October 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The acting is good, its well paced and the battle Sceans are f'n intence, it's like your immerced in it praying it will stop... 🔞 Irs all such a sad storey on a personal level.. I guess that's how was is done. But its hard not to notice the brutal waste of life & the stark futility of fighting for stratigic spots of land. That won't even matter a s#!t tomorrow...

Awesome Concept at the Heart of the Movie...
16 July 2020
Hi , NO SPOILERS Really liked this movie, it had a lot of facets to it, all of which thread nicely through the movie, so your never quite sure where its going to go.... Gave it a Seven... (would have given it 7.5, if i could, but not an 8)... Because I felt it could have been so much better... It was a great concept that should have been taken full advantage of & fleshed out into a longer movie that could have been an iconic Feature Film...Don't get me wrong, its a great flick, but i just felt it could have been so much more... or maybe it was just the Great Cronic... Lol... Definitely worth a watch anyway...

Too many Haters in User Reviews...
5 February 2020
Though i actually rate this movie a 6.5/10, I have given it 10/10 to counter balance the 1/10 reviews, as I find them to be very unhelpful... Though I firmly believe everyone is entitled to express their opinions Giving a movie like this a 1/10 review is just unbalanced and unfair not to mention being of no true value to others in deciding weather to watch it or not.. The fact that you feel the movie was misrepresented in some way by the trailers and hype etc,(which appears to be the predominant dislike) is not a valid reason to rate any movie 1 star out of 10... Though of coarse it should factor in to your rating, anyone with an ounce of intellect should still be able to rate the movie based on its own merits... A 1/10 rating is for a movie that has no redeeming features, where the acting was appalling, the camera work atrocious, and the directing useless & the editing a dogs breakfast... No matter how much you dislike the subject matter or whatever it is you did not like.. THIS MOVIE WAS IN NO WAY DESERVING OF A 1 STAR RATING... A rating like that says more about the lack of intellect of the reviewer than it does about the movie, and frankly smacks of racism. You can dislike a movie without totally 'black' balling it. Just because you are clearly not the target demographic for this movie does not make it devoid of any value and deserving of such a low rating, this serves no one's interests when it comes to evaluating a movies watchability... Which after all is the main objective of reviews, that being a balanced evaluation to help others decide wether to watch it or not... If this was a D grade project done by idiots with no concept of how to tell a story, filmed badly, edited poorly, with nothing to redeem it in any way. Then sure, give it a 1 star review, that would be what it deserves. But this movie was not 'that' movie and saying it is, just makes you look & sound like a moron with an axe to grind... I give your 1/10 ratings a 0.000001 / 1,000,000.... LOL...!!! Ps.. This movie is worth watching but could have been put together better... I give it six and a half stars...

Not a mile away from being your Typical cops & robbers fare, but refreshingly different from the usual formulaic crime movies out of the States... its Well acted & watchable but clearly madev on a budget.. it's a movie I'll probably watch again though, so I give it a 6/10...
