Good story, Not enough for a whole film
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
This move seemed to have a pretty slow lead up with multiple subplots. Unfortunately things didn't come together well and I certainly wouldn't say this keeps you on the edge of your seat. Disappointing ending to a lackluster buildup
Modern technologies upgraded our civilization, but also crated a whole series of emotional and humane disruptions, some of which could easily be the end of humans as the dominant species on this planet. ''Disconnect'' cuts itself deep into the psychological consequences of modern technologies and way of life, giving us four separate stories that interconnect at he very end of this highly contemporary movie. Script will also manage to avoid all the traps of pathetic, giving us a much needed bitter-sweet end. ''Disconnect'' is one of the movies for millennials and all the other desiring a meaningful and educative script
PROS: The best part apart about this film was the acting. Each and every character went above and beyond what I could have ever expected for this film. The actors in DISCONNECT are raw and talented. You felt sad when they felt sad, you felt scared when they felt scared, you felt powerless when they felt powerless. Overall, it was just a combination of a director knowing what he wanted and actors knowing how to give it to him. Another great part of the movie was the build up in tension. Every single plot line in the story came crashing down in a ball of fire. There was no short comings when it came to the mass intensity at the end. You're breath got taken away, and just when you were about to get it back it just got stolen away again. CONS: The number one thing that irritated me about this movie was the in completion of the overall plot. I disliked that there wasn't a falling action in this movie, and not only that, but there wasn't a falling action for any of the plots. Everything was abrupt, and not in a good way. This issue led to a greater issue about the consistency of the plot. There was just too much happening for there to be such little bits of clarity that were there. You ended up getting attached to the certain characters, you cared, then all of a sudden they get ripped away from you and you're left there with no real resolution, just an ending.www.chorror.com
This movie approaches a multitude of situations any of us could encounter in today's world. We often think tragedy only strikes others, so it is definitely food for thought.Disconnect addresses situations we are all aware of but probably don't pay much attention to, as they are outside our little bubble. The movie confronts you with those awful situations and asks you what you would do in those characters' situation.The directing was very good. I can tell there was a lot of thought put into the set according to each particular characters' situations and even filming each scene.Pretty much the only downsides I found were the couple dealing with the loss of their son – they felt like strangers well before that event, it's like the husband's military past did not even happen up to that point, for example -, and the FBI being so inefficient felt like a plot device to get things to where they needed to be for dramatic potential. Also, I had trouble dealing with the slow pace.It makes sense because there are several different stories happening at the same time and due to the reality of the situations. There are no car chases or big explosions here, this is real life.The stories reach their climax in slow motion scenes but I just could not feel the impact as expected, for some reason. I guess I found the build up to some of them either too slow or that it did not have enough background/development or I just wanted more.Still, Disconnect is a very heartbreaking, real movie. The ending was just as realistic and I believe it is something everyone should watch, from as young as teenagers.
