Internal Repurposing

Warning: Spoilers
The year is 2052. There are small bots flying around, drones, androids, cyborgs, and enhanced humans which may or may not be the same as cyborgs. The situation was explained on the fly. There is a new thing called "ghosting" where a person's mind can be placed into an android. The title refers to the initial ghost.

The bad guys are an organized crime unit called" Oon Tong." They do aftermarket modifications which they sell. There are also sexbots too. A group of Homeland Security special ops are going after the bad guys. They tend to have dirty faces most of the time and are lead by Warnock (Joe Barbagallo) whose character I didn't find entertaining as he looks too much like a mouth breather. I didn't find the acting that great either in a plot that came across as incoherent at times. The exterior of all the buildings are all sleek and modern CG creations while the interiors are dingy.

I liked the overall basic plot idea. It was executed poorly. Could be bad direction, script, or editing. Or all three.

Guide: F-word. Brief Sex. No nudity

I tried; I couldn't. This film is craptastic; so craptastitc, in fact, that try as I might, I could not keep my attention on it. Tumblr memes won. Actually, paint drying would have won out over 'Ghost Source Zero'. The film is so disjointed that it was hard to distill a narrative from the jumbled mess of poorly constructed visual refuse vomited across my screen. I can't even say it was a good first try. Nope... I'm trying to find something redeeming, or at least something nice to say about the film. There isn't. I've seen far better high-school media production class projects. Avoid at all costs.

I'd give 7 stars within it's scope. Good B-class action sci-fi.
johnpechon13 January 2019
This is definitely worth a watch if you go in knowing what to expect.

This is a B-class movie. Late night sci-fi special effects, acting and camera work. If you can't watch those type of movies don't watch this. If you can I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I felt like they did good for a low budget film. It was very watchable. After the initial "shock" that B-class movies give you it settled in well.

This is a typical action sci-fi. It won't blow you away with originality but still has a plot that is interesting. The action isn't bad and has a decent pace for this type of movie. The acting was good enough so that there wasn't a disconnect.

If you are digging for something to watch, don't mind B-class movies and like action sci-fi I'd recommend it. Don't let the low score (3.2) scare you away.

I do not think this is worth an 8.8/10...
jayjayr-343473 October 2018
I was fooled watching this movie thinking it had an amazing rating of 8.8/10

Do not be tricked by this fake rating, everyone! The story was so bad, the characters and their personalities were dull and boring, and dear GOD every actor and actress in this movie did horrible. The effects, the sound, the camera shots, and the fight scenes were also badly done.

tl;dr. This is a terrible movie!! The fact the review rating was also fake makes this movie even worse. Wish I can give it a 0, but I can't, so this pity 1* will do.

A source of zero quality
TheLittleSongbird28 December 2018
Am a major film buff. Of all decades, all genres, regardless of budget. Never has there been the intention of bias, like saying that my favourite directors and actors have never made bad films or done bad performances (not true in any case). Or saying that any directors and actors that don't know anything for me have only done bad films or only done bad performances (mostly not true, have seen the odd surprisingly watchable effort and seen surprisingly good performances with a good script and director).

What semi-intrigued me about 'Ghost Source Zero' was the premise, if done right the film could have been interesting at least. Did think that even then it was not the sort of premise that one could say "what could possibly go wrong?" like there is with some. Did feel that there were potential traps with it, with the wrong execution, it could easily have been cluttered, disorganised and far-fetched. Really wanted to be fun, thrilling and intriguing. 'Ghost Source Zero' sadly was none of those things and fell into all three of those mentioned potential traps. Of all the films seen recently, which has been many with a good deal of spare time on my hands, 'Ghost Source Zero' is down there with the worst.

'Ghost Source Zero' is amateur-hour visually. If there are two words to sum up the production values here, it would be drab and chaotic which made the atmosphere feel very dreary and the photography and editing gave me a headache and nausea. The film is over-bearing on a musical level and the sound is recorded in a way that's unintentionally creepy and further suffering from inappropriate, in terms of being random and like an afterthought, placement.

The writing is so bad that it is impossible to keep a straight face, had to refrain myself from laughing when not meant to (very rare for me). One cannot believe their ears at hearing dialogue so vomit-inducing and with such a lack of natural flow delivered like wood. Even worse is the storytelling, primarily suffering from trying to cram in far too much and doing nothing with any of it, on top of having a choppy structure. Making it a disjointed jumble that is mostly impossible to follow. The very few times it's coherent (and few is being kind), not only is it hard to invest in it and take it seriously with all the ridiculousness it is just not engaging with such lifeless pacing.

Furthermore, there is no competence in the direction and the characters are completely un-engaging, dull as dishwater ciphers that irritate with their illogical behaviours. The less said about the non-existent acting the better.

Summarising, a complete and utter mess with zero quality to be present in sight. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Incomprehensible / unwatchable
aphilipp4 October 2018
Awful quality sound /vision. Pitiful script, direction, acting and camera work. Like a cheesy game, sadly lacking the capacity to kill the cast.

Best B movie I've seen in years
moncheeks22 February 2019
Great script and a lot of fun! Main characters are well acted, some terrible side actors that don't really matter and not on screen long. Impressive action, plot driven storyline , modern effects that surprised me, reminds me of decent live action sci fi anime. I recommend it to several friends that dig cyberpunk world .

Another "Independent" film, a lot better than most of Hollywood's recent garbage!
rsvp32116 October 2018
I enjoyed this.

Most series and movies coming out of Hollywood in the past five years has social activists hired as writers, this actually has a *script*!

No PC, no agenda messages, no political slant, just fun Independent produced *fun*.

Special effects, plot, acting, directing are all worthy of a respectable nod, and I admit if they made a series from this, I'd watch it! lol

Maybe that's why there are so many bad votes - snowflakes aren't inspired to make placards or wear vulgar hats to protest something unrelated! lol

Definitely worth the watch, esp if there's nothing else on.

Sci-fi and gore
rmcshugs24 January 2020
This movie started out weird. It looks like it might be a crime drama of the future. But it ends up it's all computerized android futuristic politics. It really is a good movie and I want to attract all ages to watch and enjoy this movie. They mention sexpots sex bots a little too often. But this movie does have quite a variety of genres. You've got Gore, crime, over the top violence, lots of shooting, sex & romance.
