An unwatchable swath of cliches glued together with grating cringe.
11 January 2024
Wow what a stinking pile of shizzz this was....

1 star for special effects is the only positive reaction to this.

The misleading premise that this is a cohesive film is incredibly irritating from the beginning. If there were actual stories that lead to anything interesting i'd call them stories but they are meaningless, mindless crap attempts at sci fi in a short form.

How many? 7 of them I think, most of them seem to attempt to join together as one cliche to the next.

When I got through the first one I was wondering what is going on? Like... umm... is this movie going to just keep introducing new characters and not build or lead to anything? It seemed exhausting getting through the first short without receiving some kind of cash reward from the filmmakers.

Sci Fi is such an amazing genre and this abuse seems to continue with amateur filmmakers.

With a budget this big somebody should have known at some stage that this film is a waste of time to make.

For me it would have been seeing the screenplay is essentially blank pages, no substance at all.

The olden days were black and white kids...
28 December 2023
This is a complete mess. Dialogue is very hard to follow, spoken too fast, multiple actors speaking at the same time. It's not even easier to follow with subtitles.

It feels like takes were selected by an amateur director for all the wrong reasons, actors speaking from another room off mic but then in the reverse of that shot with the same distance everything is audibly clear.

It kills the illusion and reminds you that nothing is real, it's just a movie and even worse it feels like an amateur movie.

The complete cringe of the real life slipping into broadway musical sequences is just too much, it does nothing at all to tell the story of this mans life unless he stated at any point he lived in a semi state of daydream.

Whoever thought writing these sequences into a biopic was the right thing to do must have thought it would make a boring persons life story more entertaining for a movie? I have no idea what was to gain considering it comes off so badly and way too camp.

There's also nothing worse than a movie in black and white because the setting is from a period where there was no colour? I mean cmon, it doesn't make anything feel more authentic and it's an outdated cliche.

The way the actors are directed to deliver their lines in that ridiculous theatre accent is waaay too fake and overdriven. It's so far fetched anyone would have spoken this way off stage.

I doubt anyone could walk away from this film and score it higher than I have. The fact the lead actor is wearing a prosthetic nose to look more jewish is one good reason for this.

Ridiculous.

It's hard to not feel impressed by this film.
22 September 2023
No spoilers here, watch this movie and enjoy it.

It's brave, artistic, thought provoking, suspenseful and brilliant.

The camera moves are well thought out, it can make or break a film that relies 100% on the visual aspect. I absolutely loved every damn shot and how the camera was used, there's nothing worse than a million jump cuts glued together to give the impression of action. The direction of the actors was perfect and so were the visual effects.

The plotline is not supposed to be narrated by voice, it leaves the viewer to figure out what is happening and makes the story far more powerful.

I can't rave on anymore, it's not often I watch a movie and think it was worthy of a 10. Most films are so bad these days it's not even worthwhile reviewing them.

The Postman Pat of Science Fiction.
13 May 2023
It only takes a few minutes to realise this film is more inline with an episode of Jabberjaw than actual science fiction. The virtual sets and ridiculously annoying cast are as wooden as postman pat or thomas the tank engine. The out of focus camera work on their green screen bedroom set seems like it has more to do with zoom abuse in post production but I don't really care what the actual reason for that is, it's just unwatchable crapola.

The desperate vibe from the cast makes me think they thought this was going to be a real film once it all came together, they give off a cheesy vibe like they're actually thinking their lines are hitting just right. I guess they are if you enjoy the feeling of extreme cringe.

Giving this 1 star is a wild assumption it even deserves a rating at all, I'm writing this review more as a warning to anyone wondering if this is worth watching. Just to be very upfront if you misunderstood my past words, it's not worth 2 seconds of your life.

Steaming pile of d grade garbage.
11 May 2023
Wish this was a good film because the subject is interesting. Worst acting, editing and every aspect of filmmaking. It's so bad it sometimes doesn't make sense.

One thing that just made my head explode was having shot locked on the character not talking while the other person waffles on for eternity.

So bad it's really a shame. Whoever made this film probably had good intentions but it fell apart.

I can't rate this more than 1 star because it's impossible to watch. You can't take an historical film serious if the quality of the script and execution of the film is this terrible.

No spoilers, its a steaming pile of crapola.

Only fools would consider comparing this to previous films about Dinosaurs.
9 March 2023
Ummmm it's confusing to see anyone drawing comparisons to Jurassic park and rewarding this film because it's better than previous releases from that trashy franchise. They don't own dinosaurs and it's not a dinosaur film contest entry so... that's dumb.

Whats more disturbing is the whole plot line and point of this film, the premise is lame and it doesn't seem to build into anything better.

There's really nothing more to say, a bad idea like this should never have got a green light. I watched this with low expectations but that usually means I get entertained, not this time.

It's sci fi for dummies, no real edge to it. More of an action film than a sci fi mind bender.

If you hear it's boring that would be an accurate way to describe what I saw.

This would have been funnier if the cats were also blind.
11 September 2022
I give this 1 star because at first I thought it was going to be a comedy like Homer Lone.

This plot line and premise was so ridiculous it should have been a comedy but instead it's like any D grade movie you accidentally watched, complete and utter cringe. Even the cast you're supposed to like are crappy, I wanted the thieves to succeed.

I'd like to say you should skip this and watch something else, I suggest you do but it's your waste of time if you think this movie is going to be worth it.

Blind cats would have made all the difference? Maybe not but at least this film could be borderline comedy.

They must think they're funny at least.
11 September 2022
This is the worst sketch comedy i've seen in a long time.

Nothing made me laugh, it's like the most watered down derivative writing. 100% cringe.

If you think this is actually funny you would die watching something as funny as I Think You Should Leave.

I understand they had a following on Youtube before this, I imagine that's why their friends and fanbase came here to 10 star these reviews but saying this is on a level of something like Monty Python is like saying dog shizzle tastes like chocolate.

From the moment I saw the first sketch I knew this was poorly written but I stuck it out to see Scott Aukerman. I wish I gave up in the first 10 mins.

Predictable and BORING
17 June 2022
Nice sets, that's about it.

For some reason this film just didn't work, cramming a bunch of classic songs for the soundtrack with meaningless montages only prolonged the lag and pain.

Incredibly boring film. I kinda wish I gave it a miss.

Unbelievably BAD
16 June 2022
If you can sit thru this steaming pile of crud you deserve the Oscar.

Acting and dialogue is complete crap and it's plot line is trying to recycle Cube and a slasher film.

You'll probably notice here in the reviews that anyone giving this a ten just joined IMDB because only the film maker and cast can give themselves a pat on the back for this.

No spoilers here, save yourself the cringe and boredom and watch something else.

Movie of the year?
20 May 2022
No spoilers, it's a great film across so many genre's and it's going to make you feel good. No one could possibly not enjoy this movie and I usually hate most films for trying to be something they're not, this film managed to be so much without even trying.

D grade revenge movie
12 May 2022
This was a massive bore, so bad.

Fight scenes were like hallmark quality.

Worst writing and most pathetic dialog.

I wished I died in the first 10 mins.

IMPOSSIBLE TO WATCH
5 April 2022
I have no idea who made that mask but it's the worst i've ever seen.

You can clearly see a mans eyes and skin under it? Why did they even bother?

You can't take any of this movie serious with that going on, besides that the dialogue is so ridiculous.

I can't rate this any lower than 1 but I wish I could.

SOOO BAD!

THIS WAS EPIC! GREAT SUSPENSE AND ACTION.
1 April 2022
I really enjoyed this, no idea why anyone wouldn't.

The acting is superb and the pace of the film is perfect.

Kudos to Chris Pine for a job well done here, i watched it for Ben Foster but this is mostly Chris Pines film.

Was the dog real?
4 March 2022
I watched this historical biopic to learn all about Amelia Wren but discovered she was not a real person. This movie was still crap. What is the point? Why not just make a movie about the dog?

Warning: Spoilers
I waited for this to get interesting, even to hear the music from MGMT but that seemed to be a wasted opportunity too.

The plot does a see saw act right thru the duration of the film, are they an insane cult? Is it all real?

Nothing is really explained, the constant synth glissando wipe between the past and present is cheesy. The final scenes use very little special fx and no you can't run in space, sorry.

This was a major disappointment. Anyone rating this film higher than a 3 is delusional.

This was so bad I'm considering never watching another movie again. I really wish that everyone who devoted their time to this POS stayed home and played video games instead of this.

Pathetic, boring and laughable
28 January 2022
This was not worth the data it streamed in on.

Seems to be on an endless loop for the first half and then it becomes a predictable mess in the second.

I wish I didn't bother.

This is a classic
17 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Anyone who read the premise of this film and said it fell short or wasn't making sense... BAD LUCK! You lost the game before you even began.

This is a total tongue in cheek masterpiece, it's almost like a Mel Brooks kind of energy but in a league of it's own.

The fact these guy's were actual martial arts specialists for asian films makes the whole scenario even more bizarre (in a good way) because with all their technical skills they chose to make this hilarious film.

They could have churned out forgettable ninja action fodder that made a good profit but instead opted to create this zany post apocalyptic, alternate universe.

Buddy is almost like a Johnny Bravo type of character and yes the kid is annoying, he's supposed to be!!! That's part of the reason the viewer is accepting he get rid of him throughout the film.

I gave this 10 stars because it's on it's own planet in terms of category or genre and it's done well for whatever budget they had. It's also lasted the test of time.

Complete trash

Don't bother with this... Not even worth typing 150 characters, no idea why this was even released.

Terrible acting and a terrible movie.

Find something else to watch.

Biggest waste of time ever
18 November 2021
It's so boring, that's it.

Very hard to give a single damn about anything going on when the majority of it is in the dark too.

I actually don't even understand how anything this bad was made in the first place.

Oh and a very cringe intro from ethan hawk didn't help me appreciate this film.

One of the most annoying films of all time.
29 September 2021
Written, directed and starring... oh and it sounds like him singing every terrible song in this too. If you're thinking about watching this you can definitely find something better. Give it a miss.

A couple of things that stand out as really not funny, the president on the tv who is a black man that's seemingly incompetent and stupid in regards to the pandemic.

Over 600k Americans are have died from covid as of now, the President who was actually in power when this movie is set was a non black, psychopathic weirdo so the choice here was hardly inclusive and made zero sense.

It was just bad taste. Are these scenes supposed to be funny? With or without hindsight?

I can't see how this is being released on any streaming platform today.

I couldn't rate this lower than 1 star but it doesn't even deserve a star.

If this film maker gets his friends and family to write some fake reviews or boost his rating with fake stars after I publish this you're just going to have to trust me, this film is a pile of rubbish.

One of the most annoying films ever made.

Cringe all the way through. Hallmark in Mexico.
19 September 2021
Worst acting, script and plotline of any film Clint has been involved in.

Feels like it was cast by a deaf and blind person.

It's got a cringe worthy scene wherever there's dialogue.

I have no idea why he made this film... I'm still in shock over how bad it was.

How can anyone be so idiotic to make a film like this?
6 September 2021
With a title like 'C. O. R. N: A Field of Screams' it's as stupid as a sketch from Wonder Showzen but not actually a comedy or parody of anything except itself.

Even the meaning 'Collective Order of Recreational Necro philanthropists' is literally the most unrealistic acronym to set up a horror film, a B Grade comedy maybe but hardly believable to set up a horror film. I doubt a group of human taxidermists would even be concerned with having any formal identity.

No spoilers here, the direction and acting is a massive pile of steaming feces. Amazon Prime are flooding their service with crap like this and it's a bubble that has to burst soon, they earnt the worst reputation among streaming services by investing in D grade garbage across all genres.
