Wavelength (1983)
6/10
Wavelength: More than meets the eye
28 October 2017
This early 80's lighthearted scifi is going to win no awards for, well anything but certainly does have its qualities.

Starring Robert "Revenge Of The Nerds" Carradine this early 80's scifi effort tells the story of a girl who begins to hear ominous noises coming from a supposedly abandoned military base. With her boyfriend in tow they go investigating and find more than they ever could have expected.

Though extremely dated the film is interesting enough to keep a viewers attention but has severe pacing issues and the ending is highly predictable and underwhelming.

I was just waiting for Carradine to deliver his trademark laugh and always find myself struggling to take him seriously despite him being a terrific actor.

Wavelength is a decent enough effort but hardly original.

The Good:

Robert Carradine

Well made

The Bad:

Very dated

Pacing issues

Weak finale

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Naked children make me very uncomfortable

If Carradine had played his Revenge Of The Nerds character this film would have been brilliant

In every single movie the governments reaction to aliens is exactly how I'd imagine they'd react in real life
