Hughe J @Hughe May 5 Spectral is a streaming movie released in 2016 starring James Dale as the know it all scientist, Bruce Greenwood as the US Army general, Emily Mortimer as the possibly evil CIA officer with a conscience, and a bunch of other characters. Set in Moldova during a civil war the know it all scientist gets sent there because his "spectral goggles" recorded something spectral when a soldier was killed. Soon lots of spectral beasties start attacking everything and most of the good guys get killed. I won't spoil the crazy plot but the know it all scientist figures out who made the beasties and where they're originating from and makes a ton of plasma weapons out of radios and game consoles or whatever to fight them. We then get a CGI fest of soldiers battling the ghosts while the scientist and CIA lady try to stop more from being made. The CGI was mostly good, the acting was decent, but the ending was anti-climatic and the plot was horrendous. Still, pretty fun for a streaming movie.

Another aspect I respect here is that when watching for the 4th time I actually could pick out the times in various scenes where some lesser movie would have thrown in some jokes to attempt to make it a more happy movie when in reality, this is not designed to be a cool, groovy or hip flick rather a brutal soldier / sci fi / mysterious existential flick. Hell, not 100% but I'm watching it for the 4th time and still holds my interest. Oh, originality - 85% and the only dissapointment was that it ended when I wanted more. My advice, watch this mother - even it's Saturday night and you need a blockbuster, this sucker will fill the void. See more R T @RT44639157 Apr 25 Not your typical ghostbusting movie. Plot holes are forgivable - this is a sci-fi movie and things don't make sense all the time. The inconsistencies are I assume due to lots of moving parts, plenty of CGI and a production hit by the turmoil of Warcraft failure.

If you have the ability to switch your brain off, you might get through it… A particularly idiotic moment is when they leave the (unexplained) safety of their bunker towards the end, after magically inventing some weapons. To find the pilots already outside and firing up the aircraft… I guess they were happy not being in the bunker.

But if you want to leave your brain at the door at eat some popcorn it’s a good watch See more Sydney S @sydney217 Feb 10 If you like movies that make you think, this is not it. The plot has massive holes that are never addressed, and a lot of the scenes make no sense. The writing and acting is lackluster. It lacks depth, and a lot of the "science-y" things they talk about are complete BS. See more Read all reviews
