Risen wont fare well with impatient streamers. Writer-director Eddie Arya should be applauded for his creative ambition, but even the most forward-thinking filmmakers need strong performances to sell their product. Go to Full Review
Nathaniel Muir AIPT 08/21/2021
The movie is flawed, but there is a lot of promise here. The final act and twist are creative and mostly make up for the lackluster moments. Go to Full Review
Peter Sobczynski eFilmCritic.com 08/20/2021
Considering the ambitious nature of the story, Risen deserves some points for at least trying to do something different and if it is ultimately a miss in the end, at least it is a near-miss. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
A low-budged alien invasion movie that sometimes looks better than low-budget and sometimes doesn't. Go to Full Review

Valerius S Nov 30 I can do better CGI with my phone. See more Peter H Oct 4 So so bad. We only got through it because of the fast forward button. On a positive note, seeing such wooden acting and extremely poor CGI is kind of amusing in this day and age. Maybe this film will be a classic for different reasons. See more Thomas T Jul 16 Hands down the most boring si-fi movie I’ve ever seen with some of the worst editing. They went way overboard with the green screen use. See more Marlene T May 2 The movie is interesting as far as the story line goes, but the woman playing the main character, was a bad choice of casting. She moves too slow, kind of pisses me off that when people talk to her, she either says nothing or stares into space like she's catatonic. This would have been so much better with a good actress. The director did great with everyone else, so I don't understand what the problem is here. I'm still watching it, and will watch until the end and come back with a final review. Ok finished the movie. It wasn't bad. If they had used better editing at those truly boring parts, many more would have liked it. If famous actors played the main parts, and things were switched around a bit, this would be a blockbuster. See more Michael P 10/19/2024 Slow, boring, unlike able characters, poor dialogue, I mean do you need more reasons to avoid this movie? See more Simona C 08/22/2024 Too slow movie that does not create suspnce but just boredom. Not appealing protagonist or cast. nice idea but not sufficient See more Read all reviews
