Pluskylang Great Film overall
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
flatbeddriver Never leave reviews but had to after watching this. I very much enjoyed the story line, effects, and acting. This movie is seriously underrated. Morfydd Clark is an actress I'd never heard of and found her both gorgeous and entertaining. I'd like to see more of her work. Definitely worth relaxing and watching.
nnom Don't listen to the it-wasn't-that-bad reviews. It was. Acting-poor...expected. Storyline-overmined...expected. CGI-decent- expected. But even though it meets expectations, that's not saying much when expectations are low. There's just no reason to waste 90 mins of your life watching this...in a week, you'll have forgotten everything except, maybe, the fact that you watched it. It's racing out of my short term into oblivion as I type. Hard pass.
ericaharris1908 You know it is a bad sign when you start hoping the characters in the movie will just die already. Like others have said the concept was good but the execution was terrible. First off the acting was atrocious. And the stereotypes were so obvious and boring. Me and my husband both said the black guy was going to die first. It was like they followed the formula "how-to-make a bad movie". It is boring. The set pieces were same. The 'action' was so boring I kept fighting falling asleep. I kept rolling my eyes through out the movie. It is not good when writer's make the characters do stupid things. Stupid stupid stupid movie. Don't waste your time on this movie. It is so ridiculous. You don't care about anyone. You hope they all die because they have been so stupid.
neil-43355 For something with an OK concept and aimed squarely at the gaming community you might think they would have actually spoken to one or two gamers when developing the concept - it seems pretty obvious they missed that boat! I would like to point out that does not generally like to rubbish things but I was amazed that every single person in the movie was such a terrible actor and even more amazed that I was not even rooting for a single character in this movie and wanted nothing more than it to finish quickly. It was complete rubbish and I have nothing really positive at all to say about it, even the cheap attempt at a twist at the end was badly conceived and even worse in execution. In short, avoid like the plague!
