Best small scale sci-fi since "The man from earth"
29 April 2023
This was a pleasant surprise. Highly recommended for people who like ideas.

It's a small scale movie. 4 characters, mostly in one room, and ideas. This is a movie about ideas more then anything. Very solid script and dialogues.

"The man from earth" is a good reference. "The Artifice Girl" is also centered around a very common argument, with a twist that makes it unique and intriguing to watch. I wasn't bored at any point of it. The acting is solid, specially the girl gives a stellar performance.

If you like sci fi' ideas and not afraid of listening to people talk, I think you may like this.

I really enjoyed this one
9 September 2022
I wrote this comment cuz I see lots of negative ones, that don't reflect the overall score, right? I think they was written by die hard fans of whatever their are fanning. But I just wanted to see a movie, and I really liked this Thor.

First it was funny. Like laughing out loud funny. Good jokes. Second the action was nice, non of this over the top endless fights. Also the music was great, really added some flavor to the movie.

Frankly most of the latest superhero movies I couldn't bare. This one is just different in the overall approach. You can see it just by reading reviews. Some fans didn't like the change of formula. They want what, more of the same?

I recommend this movie if you like this kind of movies but don't mind some silly in it. Good comedy, good action, touch of drama and story, and overall a fun movie.

The Call (2020)
8/10
The ending is the most important thing. and you must read "the call explained"
13 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
First, after you watched the movie. Scroll down and read "the call explained". It will blow your mind.

To the explanation I'll add something very important that prove this is the right explanation : at the start of the movie, she "lost her phone", and got a call claiming to find it. Yet when she checks, the phone location is her home.

This is very crucial, cuz 1) it ends with the same strange laugh as the "crazy girl" 2) it shows how her reality starts to crack, and her delusions start. Strange calls from imaginary people.

And the ending is very important, cuz her mother, as explained, died. And this tie up things. In her mind, her mother death is also not her fault. She said her goodbye, and her mom disappear in the final shot. And it also shows that she still didn't reconcile it all. In her mind the killer is still alive.

The Lazarus Project (2022–2023)
8/10
One of the best sci-fi shows I've seen in awhile
18 June 2022
What a pleasant surprise. A very entertaining sci-fi show about a kind of time travel, something I don't remember seeing before in other shows or movies. All wrapped up with lots of action and twists.

Binged it in 2 days and can't wait for a 2nd season.

I won't waste time talking about acting and lightning, frankly when you enjoy something you just do, and as a sci-fi fan and time traveling shows, this one is just good fun.

It's not perfect but if you read the plot and think, mmm this sounds interesting, should I try it, I think you should, try 2-3 episodes, it's worth the time in mu opinion. And if you don't like it, just press reset, and get you 2 hours back...

In the Dark (2019–2022)
6/10
Good first season, but don't dare watch season 2
24 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
No spoiler in this part : I watched the first season and rated it 7.5 to myself. pretty decent. It's not a masterpiece but something different then the usual shows, but then, oh then, came the first episode of the 2nd season, and made such an unbelievable, unrealistic, naive and annoying plot "twists" that practically made the whole first season seem like a waste of time. one week later I still can't believe they did this to the plot.

Here is the spoiler : Well the first season ended when it's revealed the cop, her friend (and semi lover) is the killer she was looking for. he is corrupt, he work for the bad guys. and she recorded him admitting it. then in the 2nd season first episode, his captain comes and in a stupid 90 second scene just says "hey so you didn't do it right?" and the cop says "no off course I didn't" and the captain says "oh ok, then here is the phone (that recorded the confession), now delete this from the cloud, and come back to work".

Holy s#@&, what???

Seen some plot twists in movies and shows, but this is plain and simple dumb and made me not wanne watch this show any farther.

Retina (2017)
5/10
Nice story, but little dialogue
12 May 2018
The plot is quite nice, but there are too many quiet minutes in this movie for me to enjoy it. People do stuff without speaking to each other, like pulling a gun on someone or getting shot and saying nothing. Which is a shame cuz this is actually an action/conspiracy movie that could be much more. but I found it boring.

For this reason I don't recommend this movie to average joe's (like me). if you don't like to watch movies where 10 minutes pass and nothing is said, and you are used to Hollywood movies, this one isn't for you.

5/10 since the story is ok

Time Trap (2017)
8/10
Original, Solid, small Sci-fi movie
27 April 2018
I was pleasantly surprised by this small movie. thought I would have to do a lot of fast forwarding or quit in the middle, but watched the whole thing and enjoyed it,

Long story short it's about a group descending into a cave and find themself trapped in some kind of a time babble. the story is very original, so is the execution. acting is ok, never really cared about acting unless it's very bad. it isn't.

If you wonder is this movie worth your time, I think it does.

Gave it a 8/10 in relation to it being a small budget film.

A horror gem
2 November 2008
I'll keep it simple :

It ain't a scary movie, nor a slasher. If my warning didn't scare you - go see this movie.

A pure gem. about true love. with a little gore, some blood, vampires, and a pile of bodies.

It's like a European sexless version of "Interview With The Vampire".

very strong and powerful movie.

great acting by the two kids.

If you seen the trailer and liked it, you'd also like the movie.

I loved it.
