The spirit of Ed Wood.

[timmoss-26387 · 2/10 · 18 December 2021]

I strangely enjoyed this film,even though I shouldn't have.

It's 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' for the 21st century.

Every imaginable cliche of the genre is brought into play,together with a script that's unbelievably bad. The same can be said of most of the acting,which is clearly in AmDram territory.

What saves it from complete disaster is the sheer enthusiasm of all those involved. They are clearly enjoying themselves and give it as much as they can.

For this reason,above all others,I recommend it as harmless fun.

Definatley,as Ed Wood himself might say,it belongs in the category of 'so bad it's good'.

$10 budget. They spent $5 on funions.

There are some humorous bits... not really enough to carry it though. The evil mastermind sounded so bad it was like his part was not originally filmed in English and they got a bad voice actor for the dubbing.

Such potential

The Academy Award for Best Sound is given for a reason. I almost had this on max volume, checked my settings, went to a different program, even a different T. V., and none of that made the sound better. No sound effects when the "main powered person" used his abilities. This film could have hit me differently had there been a decent audio added to it. Fight scenes, nothing. Keyboards on computers, nothing. Conversations in rooms of complete silence. I'm all about an independent, low budget film, with a good story, half way decent acting, and good sound. Not just music, no, rustling of leaves as someone is running, the sound of a blade flying through the air, so you "hear"the action, ordinary sound that you take for granted in a film and then won't why they give out an award for it.

So much potential.

A real threat!

Some reviewers just wrote some nonsense and gave a very low score, and not even they are aware that some of what has been described in this movie is absolutely true, not the super powers tough.

If the best hackers would be unite, they could save the world and I'm not kidding, but they are too selfish and instead of being heroes, they are criminals. So talented and so stupid. This movie is real, I mean about that the governments are in the hands of someone (a bunch of billionaires, Blackrock and Vanguards) and that those people are interested to kill people, (bill gates told that clearly and it's trying, it, as it is not human), because they want to decrease the population, because they think we're too many for the resources we have on the earth. Pity that they are the same people who decide about everything in the world, not only they own banks, media, all the biggest companies in the world, but they are the same people who take advantage of the whole population by managing the world resources, and they take decisions on what the world has to do next. The reptilians exist too, but I'm not going to say more about. Unfortunately a lot of ordinary people are completely blind and they don't understand, see, listen to, do anything, so that the manipulation of the humanity is almost possible (look at the "pandemic"). We'll fight until our death, the body is human, the soul is divine and eternal., unless you decide to stay with the darkness instead of the Light.

Those who wrote this, know that it's true, great people!

Almost unwatchable

Between the poor script, subpar line delivery, and the absolutely atrocious blaxploitation present, I had to take three tries to finish this film.

The MC has a haphazardly described backstory on a budget. His "team" is the trope of "computer guy", an "empath" and a self-described "ninja". I kid you not. They call themself a ninja.

This movie seeks to create a black superhero origin story, and all it does is poorly execute a sci-fi B-movie.
