Campus Code (2015) User Reviews

Something fishy is going on

[bek-12 · 4/10 · 12 February 2017]

The concept was actually pretty good. The acting wasn't bad. The movie did suffer due to some of the dialogue, and I'm not expert on cinema, but I suspect the directing and budget hurt it as well. I was shocked to see Liotta and Martin Scorsese, then I realized that the director was Cathy Scorsese. I can only assume a family member decided to break into directing and Martin and Ray gave them a little help. Hey, that's cool. I would do the same for my kids. Everyone wants their kids to be successful. In any event, it's a weird ride that comes together at the end... well, as much as a low-budget mediocre movie can pull that off. It wasn't the worst way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Utterly confused

If it was only me, it would probably be OK. Then I could see this as some kind of surreal movie experiment. But it isn't unfortunately. This is about some college students (I think) go about their daily business and stumbling into "unusual" situations where they seem to gain supernatural powers. Maybe.

One reason this isn't very clear is that the plot is horrible. The weird, surreal things are laid one upon another from the start (and I mean start after the opening sequence) where people stop reacting, beat each other up, sell stolen stuff, bully one another for no apparent reason. And the characters "act" as this is all very normal. Then there is the "acting". It's horribly over the top on all accounts. Seriously, horribly bad including every cliché in an amateur directors "How-to manual" on directing. Including the goth group clad in black. :sighs: I guess it all somewhat is explained at the end, but even so - the explanation for everyones extremely erratic behaviour doesn't make much sense. Avoid if it's available for free on cable, run like mad in another direction if your significant other suggests you see it at a theatre.

time wasters

This film is crap! 4 teenagers run around a school for an hour and a half screaming at each other "why me, why us". no time travel, no killers, no explanation! just a cheep rip off of the 13th floor and the matrix, really that's all you get. not even a decent ending. the only reason this got made was she's martin scorsese's daughter. 0 stars and not even a good sized asteroid!

DO NOT WATCH

[bradleycr · 1/10 · 2 May 2019]

At first this movie didn't look bad, then I saw the first minute and I couldn't believe how bad this movie was. It was filled with plot holes and bad acting. I would not recommend anyone to watch this.

I was HIGH and yet I hated it ...

[abrarnadir-383-335451 · 1/10 · 22 August 2022]

Hands down THE worse movie I have ever seen in my life. Plot, direction, acting was Out Of This world (in a bad way) I do not write reviews ever nd this is not a review either, this is a Public Service message. I am bound by my Morals to let the rest of Human Race know about this movie and its affect on my DAZED hour.

NEXT.

I was not impressed...

[Mehltretter · 3/10 · 18 July 2013]

OK, so I have been a fan of Jesse McCartney since I was a kid. So I decided to check out his newer work in the acting industry. He kind of slid off my grid as I grew up. I kind of forgot about him. Recently I heard some of his newer music and I was very impressed. I also checked out his other movie Keith. I thought he did very well in that, very well. I only knew he did music, so I decided to explore his other achievements. I saw an interview on youtube of him talking about this interactive movie called Campus Life. I decided to check it out. I viewed Campus Life on the Jumpstreet website. I watched it 2 times to make sure I didn't forget or miss anything. The site was having issues as well. So here comes the review....(dun dun duuuunnnn...) I was not impressed with Campus Life. I love Jesse but this movie was a bad move. The acting was...odd...and the ending sucked. The effects were terrible as well. It was a movie I wish I never saw, I cringed as I watched, it was just bad. I won't let this get in the way of me continuing to support Jesse through his career, but I hope he doesn't pick up a small cheap low budget film like this again.

Boring

[xconwombats · 1/10 · 5 February 2022]

Took me two days to watch this.

Let me start off by saying I only came across this film because I'm really into Conor Leslie projects right now.

This film is terrible right off the bat. The CGI, VFX, screenwriting, cinematography, lighting, and acting are all absolutely atrocious. It feels like a bad CW/Lifetime made-for-TV film that should never have been released.

This film had potential, maybe if given a better cast, budget, and creative team.

Perhaps a TV series could have helped execute it better.

Conor Leslie did great with what she was given though.

Fantastic Movie to be used for training at Film schools

[smhl · 1/10 · 25 November 2020]

Just like all the negative reviews mentioned, everything about it was all bad. I would think that those looking at a future in directing films, would find this movie useful, as this is a fantastic training 'case study' on things to avoid.

Seeing Ray Liotta in the movie plus having THE Martin Scorsese as your dad (director Cathy Scorsese father), I assumed the movie would pick up towards the end and it would make up for everything! Unfortunately, it didnt.

Why watch it even after all the negative reviews? The movie I ordered was called 'Time Shifters' released in 2020! After some google search, I found the 'real' name of the movie "Campus Code" and then read these reviews!

Weird to read that the movie name "Campus Life" in 2013 changed to "Campus Code" in 2015 but doesn't explain why it changed to "Time Shifters" in 2020?

This movie should forever be free, it really is an offense to ask anyone to pay to rent this movie.

Legitimately Life Changing

[changboy · 10/10 · 11 June 2019]

10 years ago, I was just a child, rotting away at the hands of the system. I dealt drugs, got arrested frequently, and almost ended up in jail. That's when I found this movie. After watching it, I was inspired. I was blind, but after watching this movie, this masterpiece, my eyes were open. Everything around me seemed better, clearer, more colorful. I stopped dealing drugs, stopped getting in trouble. I turned my life around, and all because of this movie. I graduated as valedictorian, and I now attend Harvard university. I highly recommend watching this movie, it changed my life and I owe everything to it's screenwriter, Michael Simon.

Am I high?

[krabwniefi · 1/10 · 9 February 2021]

No but seriously, am I high? That's the only way to make sense of the non sensical I just Watched 40 minutes of. (I had To give it a fair chance).

[andrasmarto · 10/10 · 2 May 2019]

This is the best movie that I have ever seen! The effects are beautifully done and the acting is exquisite. I highly recommend that you watch.

horrible reviewERS!

[ralph-45268 · 8/10 · 4 April 2021]

For being low budget the movie was good. I recommend watching it and formulating your own opinion and not listen to people who always expect A+(which is never possible anyway)

Great

[saraberry57719 · 9/10 · 8 June 2020]

I loved this movie. I watched it for Jesse Mccartney and I thought he did very well. I hated how it ended with a cliffhanger. Are they making a second one? What happens next!? I need to know!
