Night Sights: Heavily shilled nonsense

[Platypuschow · 2/10 · 7 June 2018]

Let's get something clear, this being written by a 17 year old is fairly impressive so good job to the young fella. However, that doesn't take away from how dreadful Night Sights is.

A grieving father witnesses something remarkable and *Yawn* sorry the plot is a jumbled mess of several other films but manages to not have a single redeeming moment throughout.

Insanely boring, poorly paced and at no point does it actually go anywhere.

It looks drab, it sounds drab, everyone involved looks bored and so was I from starting titles to closing credits.

There really is nothing good to say about Night Sights at all, other than it's a masterclass of how not to make a movie.

The Good:

Nope

The Bad:

Unforgivably boring

Has nothing going for it at all

Dreadful finale

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

People who do shill reviews on IMDB should be aware of how stupid they make themselves look and how easy they are to identify

This requires two ratings - the 2*s is for the movie

Apparently, this was written and directed by a teenager. If so, it needs two reviews - one for it as a movie and one for the fact that the writer/director (already a warning) was so young.

It's a bold stab at a simple but interesting idea but the inexperience shows through everywhere. Add the fact that he also edited it and that explains much about the shots and the pace. And that's what you're most likely to notice and keep wishing the story would just get a move on.

But watch it knowing it was, apparently, created by a teenager and you have to marvel at his amazing abilities. However, impressive as they may be, they still don't manage to pull a good movie together but bear that in mind as you watch it and you may be forgiving enough to enjoy it.

Beyond The Medallion

Night Sights is an impressive film, especially considering that a crew of high school and college students developed it and filled a number of key production roles. The concept is really interesting, and includes some surprisingly fitting spiritual themes for a Sci/Fi movie. The plot flow may surprise you at points, but keep an eye on the key characters and the importance of their relationships throughout.

The acting performances are solid and the effects strong, even on a low budget. You may spot a familiar face from Even Stevens as well! Worth watching if you came across it, and you'll definitely want to keep an eye on this young director and his team.

Seeing is Believing

Matt Thompson, the young writer/director's attention to detail and depth-of-field storyline makes the Night Sight movie a must see. You are quickly immersed in the emotional despair of what might have been, that can easily knock down any person. But the film's main character, Rich Hadley, accidentally learns leading edge technology coupled with traditional human beliefs may yield devastating consequences. With time running out, Rich must fit the Night Sight puzzle pieces together to see the evolving picture.

I encourage movie fans to follow this young production crew, many outstanding projects are in their future.

Amazing production

[csoto-01668 · 10/10 · 7 March 2018]

Director made this when he was 17 years old. The story is captivating and very enjoyable. Quite amazing to see young talent put together a production like this.

Great movie

[larkin-12128 · 10/10 · 11 April 2022]

I thought Ryan andrews did a great job on this movie and it was pretty awesome watching it. The story was well edited and shot especially coming from a 17 year old. You can tell a lot of effort when into this movie and it all came together throughout the movie.
