      Audience Member It were possible I'd take stars away from this one. Bad acting... Stupid storyline... Nasty special effects... You would have a better time watching your niece pull her teeth out through her rear end... Sadly,i had to watch it 3 times to make sure i didn't miss anything. J didn't, and it's time in my life I'll never get back. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow. One of the worst movies I've seen attempted . Better will search something more interesting on boxxy software Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Prepare -- to be confused! The opening scene features some voice-overs by actual PC speech bots. Could they not afford to speak into a mic? We see some computer graphics apparently filmed two inches from a computer monitor. Could they not afford rendering to digital output? Do they even own the graphics they use? Skipping directly to the end credits to find out what HALO mod they were filming, you can discover attributions to "Donut Acquisition Specialist", "Coffee Addiction Specialist", and the mysterious "Rotosoping" [sic]. You also find out that the soundtrack is a playlist of obscure cybergoth EBM. Jumping back to see if maybe such an uber-cool musical accompaniment is justified, WONDER OUT LOUD why the live action sequences -- which resemble fancy Shadowrun or Rifts LARP taking place in an abandoned shopping mall doubling as a Laser Tag gym -- were also filmed the same two inches from a computer monitor, often through monochrome filters. I honestly think this film has some merits: if there's a satellite channel targeted at a stoned teenage graver audience, this is prime time. Until that future day comes (sometime near the end of the world, presumably), you can be content to purchase this at Wal-Mart in a package titled "The Road Fury Collection: 5 Movies". Let's... hit the road! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Poorly made, even for a indie. The cinematography stinks, and the audio is too soft, you can barely hear it over the music. The computer effects are bad, and one character goes around the film with a digital helmet floating over his shoulders in some scenes. The plot is incoherent, and doesn't really go anyway. The movie does try to be something cool and funny though, but in the end it feels like a underdeveloped rough draft. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Excruciatingly awful. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought this was a very interesting film. Totally unlike the typical narrative. I liked that there were clues to the mystery, both visual and in the semi-cryptic dialog that were fun to take note of and that helped solve the mystery. Yes, it's low budget, but the special effects are nice and I liked the storyline about the alien. The other "2012 end of world" films are all about natural disaster and this is the only one that speaks of an alien presence to end the world. Very cool!
