Warning
A bunch of (related?) stories, with perhaps future technology and mankind as a central theme

Vague unrewarding stories
Incomprehensible at first, I got some ease of mind when I realized it's just some vague ideas and separate stories glued together in a movie. In itself still a feasible concept, but in here it was just a bit pointless and directionless, without any payoff.Ender's Game
A youngster is the chosen one to be trained as spacefleet admiral and repell alien threat

Kids in space
These kids are trained for space command by having them play a pointless Harry Potter floating game! This unwatchable movie is full of such nasty face palm moments, burying the sharp looking visuals deep beneath the surface. "He has a complicated response to authority" - who talks like that?Other Life
Scientist invents memory injections, but when it is used against her the line between real and artificial memory starts to blur

Lifeless
Nothing wrong with the idea, but it is let down by the miscasted lead playing the cocky, cold emo-scientist. The story is also annoyingly vague, and not in the intriguing, mind-bending way I was hoping for. A few days after watching this, my wife asked how it ended and I had no idea what to say.Exorcist: believer, The
After a midnigth visit to the woods, two girls need exorcism

Boring, messy, silly and not scary
I was already getting bored with exorcism movies, and this is one certainly isn't turning the tables. The only novelty is that there are two victims at once, and three people doing different kinds of exorcisms at once, which turns into a mess, looks ridiculous and none of it seems to do anything.Magellan

Unable to compensate for the little resources it had
An irresistible story and some of the space graphics are not too bad. But they contrast starkly with the amateuristic 'interior' of the spaceship, and the bizarre procedures of the space flight and handling of possible alien artifacts (plastic bag?). I also missed a point or clue to any of it.Into The Storm

Cloaked with bad decisions
The question is: can you handle obnoxious teenagers with all kinds of uninteresting teenager problems, an unlikely crew of unlikable people, stiff acting and a pointless handheld camera approach in exchange for a few amusing tornado shots? Well, can you?Movie 43
Teenagers scout the internet for a movie that doesn't exist, taking them through various bizarre movies as they go

fascinatingly unfunny
In itself I can see potential in the jokes on offer. But I just gazed at these clumsy, grime and bizarre sketches without laughing once, becoming almost fascinated in the process. It's one of those 'You need the right drug first' movies, but if you find which one, it could be hysterical.Parallels
A mysterious phonecall from a missing father leads people into a strange building that opens up to alternate earths

Nice idea poorly executed
Love the basic idea, but it's executed poorly with rather annoying young adults delivering really bad lines and making everything seem hopelessly amateuristic.Cars 2
McQueen and Mater get caught up up in a spionage and racing adventure.

Let's put in everything, kids gotta like something
Looking at this through the eyes of my children, I felt exhausted and embarrassed by the loud, hectic and rushed screenplay, overcomplicated story, and Mater shooting miniguns. But there must be something wrong with my eyes because they still seemed to enjoy it.Cocaine Bear
Various people in the woods have to deal with a bear addicted to cocaine

Cult is hard
It is going for a cult status with an over the top story, a bit of gore, humor and loads of colorful, quotable characters. But I found none of these components particularly successful, and the pacing seems off as frankly I got quite bored with it.Movies found: 1040 | max movies per page: 10 | Showing: 91 - 100
