The Chair to Everywhere (2019) User Reviews

One of the best movies of 2019

A former Google employee, along with his daughter, build a teleportation prototype with the intent of transfering from one chair to another on the other side of the room. Seems like a simple enough premise, but then the film gets rolling and the cringeworthy insanity begins to unfold. I am not going to say much about this movie. My score above tells you what I think of it. The director, Mol Smith, told me he made this for £7000 and you can see from the make shift cgi, lowkey animation, minimal sets, and amateurish camerawork, that he's unlikely to be pulling our chain. With that being said, I believe he's made a great indie that may be the best film I've seen all year.

The Wtf moments don't let up the whole film. From beginning to end you are going to be questioning the mental stability of the director. Did he do this just to make people squirm? Just for the shock and the mortification of it all. I don't really know. But when you set aside the obvious shudder inducing creepiness and, keep in mind, that he produced this for nearly nothing, you are left with an incredibly compelling narrative and a total mind plot twist at the end. Plus there's lots of naked women if you're into that sort of thing. Anyway, I love this movie. This should be a future cult classic.

Interesting premise

Interesting story, despite some holes in the plot and weak CGI. It could be an amazing film with a large enough budget. There is copious nudity to make up for the low budget, which is a good choice.

Bizarre Ambitious Low-Budget Sci-fi.

While, there is a lot to like in this no-budget film, the movie is 100% NSFW. It is loaded with nudity and creepy family-related innuendos. I'm really regretting sitting through it as I'm not a fan of nudity in films, so in this film I'm covering ½ the screen for 70% of the film. If the nude girl on the cover isn't a giveaway, then maybe, like me, you didn't realise she was nude, she is.

The story revolves around a father and daughter duo who seek to create a quantum transport system due to their mother's death in a vehicle accident. While this movie seeks to explore how far you would go to save your family, and prevent unnecessary deaths for other people's families, it is marred by excessive nudity, inappropriate family relationships, and bizarre fetishism.

I enjoyed the storyline, and the acting, for the most part, was actually not bad, I've seen far worse in bigger budget films, let alone micro-budget films. Things definitely go in a lot of directions that one may not expect, story-wise. The way the story is executed is also very different, this is not the kind of film you would ever get from Hollywood, or even mainstream UK cinema, this is a very strange and unique take on some common sci-fi themes. While you could argue that it is bizarre that everyone speaks English in this(I wont say why), it all makes total sense in the end.

I think it goes without saying that the film quality is not great. The sound is surprisingly well-done. I was also surprised by some decently, for the no-budget, rendered CGI. The CGI was a bit jarring, it looks like it came from the mid-late 1990's, but again, they couldn't have had much, if any money to even make these effects, I give them points for doing a decent job.

Again, I am not exaggerating when I say there is probably female nudity 70% of this film, no it isn't sexually in nature, it is there. While there is a "reason" for it, I believe it was wholly unnecessary. Also, the creepy relationship the daughter has with her father, is a major turnoff. It is a good thing she is not in the bulk of the film. Despite being very intrigued by the storyline, I just cannot recommend this one, even though, from a no-budget movie making standpoint, and it's ambitious nature, I have to rate it 4 stars, I just cannot recommend it.
