This movie's trailer was awesome and it had a sample of what I was going to watch.
This is the information about the plot "A young man must cope with involuntary telepathy, a potion-induced transformation, teleporting agents and a clone reincarnation, all while dodging an evil corporation that wants to harvest his brain for knowledge."
The movie did one of the jobs all movies should do, it kept me attentive. I loved the concept and how the plot unfolds in theory because as I writer I can catch on the details what was really there.
However, not all the message was successfully conveyed throughout the movie, because the director needs to express with visuals so many elements on each single frame, that some might fail to do so on their first 20 movies.
The most important part of any story (screenplay) is the plot. This concept is very ambitious and somewhat innovative, which catches my attention and makes me witness the existence of a creative master behind all of it. But in the moment expressing everything he knows to the public, he shall not leave any detail behind for the ignorant on the particular subject of matter. Coming from a very common habits today's movies have of jumping from scene to scene, the premise can be distorted, when jumping too often.
20 minutes in the movie I started understanding what was going on, and which direction we were going into. I did find the actors were into it, and a lot of sceneries were visited to have parts of the movie take place onto. The other 40 minutes of the movie were more enjoyable, I noticed the main premise of the plot was revealing itself and bringing the joy of adventure to the viewer (in this case, me). Moreover, the release of the conflict made me pay attention more closely to the overcome or relief.
Following my 3rd Parr. Another thing that I celebrate about this film was the ability to successfully give closure to such a tardy conflict emergence.
Cons:
-The special effects could have better (but I have no information about the budget to understand better, what they were working with). -Colorization is a must on any feature that wishes to leave a legacy. Note that this shall not be confused with Color Correction. -Sound could've been mixed differently to wipe the low-budget film feel out of this great story. Note that ADR is highly recommended for Features. -Shallower depth of field will be appreciated by the viewers more that anyone can imagine. -Having a blur throughout the whole film should be fixed before distribution, but it can also be a compression or Vimeo uploading thing that is not alarming at all. -The Voice Over needs to be clearer.
Pros:
-This movie is innovative and has an amazing concept. -The rhythm in editing was right on the dot, giving a unique feel to this movie; specially on the scenes with no dialog. This makes the movie pretty enjoyable. -I had no clue where this movie was going to take me next, which is refreshing and I celebrate it for that. -In basically 40 minutes, I felt like I watched a lot, due to the beat and pace of the actions and scenes. This is an awesome thing that most directors can't accomplish. -Very good supporting actors, despite some actors that fell through sometimes, everyone was in character. -The ending was very realistic, although I left with some unanswered questions; but endings don't need to be Hollywoodee all the time. -The movie kept me wondering (the first 20 minutes due to confusion and the last 40 minutes due to new element introduction into the plot -at least every 10 minutes-), but in a good way and it also kept me interested.
This movie has a great potential because in the end all that matters is the concept within the premise; I have seen very bad movies make it to the Theatre because of the partnerships they participate in. It's not a bad thing to consider doing that and bring the experience to the next level where there is more budget to play with.
I recommend it and give it 7 IMDb stars!
