The Call Up

Well shot and composed with good colors and contrast. Appropriate solid special effects and motion graphics, not over the top at all.

Yes these are aesthetic observations but aesthetics are important, especially in Sci-Fi. They're also the only good thing I can say about the movie.

Horrible acting and a horrible script. I don't know whats worse, the script or the casting. The stereotypes are also poorly written. For stereotypes. All the building blocks were there for something more coherent and edgy. A tighter script with some better casting could have turned this into a cult classic.

The missed opportunity is highlighted even more by the solid production work. Unfortunate.
