Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
I love this movie and highly recommend it! I love it so much! I would watch it again!
BIRDEMIC: SHOCK AND TERROR, tells a tale that must be told. After an opening drive, where we are made to feel... every... inch... of the trip, during which, music plays like someone twisting sharpened toothbrush handles into our ear-holes, we are introduced to the main characters. He is Rod (Alan Bragh). She is Nathalie (Whitney Moore). Their footfalls are each unique. His are the sound of feet padding through popcorn. Hers, like someone skating over Lincoln logs. He is a phone solicitor. She is a model. This is a love story. We know this, due to the conversation between Rod and Nathalie, resembling two exhaust fans humming, while eating Chinese food. Suddenly, cartoon birds fly -more like swim- by, symbolizing desire, or perhaps they are harbingers of what must unfold. Nah! They're just fun-loving cartoon birds flapping along, accentuating the love of these two living appliances. Minutes drip like honey, turning into hours, then days, then... eons. Rod chatters on about whatever it is he's selling. An art festival / pumpkin show! Love is everywhere they look. A walk on the beach, and a cartoon bird lies dead. Thankfully, nothing whatsoever occurs. Rod and Nathalie cut a rug, while a statue sings rhythm and blues. Jump back! Nathalie does "The Robot"! Time for love, and kissing that sounds as though someone is trying to suck a watermelon through a snorkel. Upon awakening, after their night of loving-ness, cartoon birds are everywhere! Cartoon explosions happen for no reason! Doom has arrived on CGI wings of awful death! Rod and Nathalie are joined by another couple. Hangers are used as cartoon bird swatters. Hovering fowl move side to side, prefiguring our coming demise. Hovering in unison, always turned away from us, signifying their disdain. Toy guns are no match for these phlying phantasms! An old man on a bridge explains the horror. Global warming has caused cartoon birds to attack fossil fuel-using humans. Humans must go! We are bad! a woman stops to answer nature's call, only to be called upon by an angry eagle. Yes, even toilet paper is offensive to these sensitive, cartoon guardians of virtue. Traffic goes by, almost as if they can't see the birds! What black magic is this? Bus passengers are "bombed" w/ flesh-eating waste. Take that, human monsters! Let's see you pollute the air, now! Ha! Listen to the cartoon birds, man! They know! Quick, into the woods, where there are probably no birds. Probably. Luckily, a man in a Cher wig explains the situation, so that our guilt can be made complete. Bravo!...
... but this is another film that is just so profoundly awful in every way, shape and form that it is an absolute must-see for anyone who appreciates such things.Trust me, if you sit down and watch this cutting room floor crap, you'll be saying, "One million dollars!" and drawing hysterical laughter from anyone else in the Birdemic coterie.
Returning to his small-town home, a man finds his attempted romance with a local model interrupted by a series of attacks carried out by swarms of killer birds attacking anything that moves and must not only get themselves but the other survivors of their town to safety.Frankly, this one really is that bad. About the only thing enjoyable with this one is the fact that there's a lot of bird encounters in the last half which really generates a modicum of excitement compared to the bland beginning. From the attack at the motel to the gunfight with the creatures trying to get away and the later sequences on the beach-side picnic area which has a bit of action thrown in to raise this one up slightly. With these providing the film with some decent gore effects for the aftermath of their attacks, these here are the film's positives as it does have many factors that bring it down. The main issue here is the absolutely atrocious bargain-basement level CGI that passes as acceptable in the film. The attacks are laughable in how inept they appear due to the work in here, as the birds not only look completely inorganic and nowhere close to interacting within their environment that just makes for a frustrating watch. These creatures perform the most rudimentary actions possible and seems to think that passes for horrific attacks here as they seemingly hover around the location placed on-screen in a random manner which really turns these into being silly rather than scary as this occurs for every single one of these action scenes. Likewise, the other big issue with this one is the atrocious pacing on display here which really does hamper this one considerably. There are way too many scenes of this one being dragged out with extra moments that do nothing for the film as a whole. It's not that important to witness every step of his journey into work from taking the freeway to the side-streets and walking to his desk or his date with her at the restaurant that goes on forever which really struggles to make this one become interesting at the very beginning. As well, there's also plenty of useless scenes inserted simply to add more time to the film as the boardroom meeting showing everyone individually applauding or trying to place all the useless environmental messages that are shoehorned into the film with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, and together these elements really hold back the action to the last half of the film and rarely gives this any kind of enjoyment whatsoever. The other big flaw is the lack of reasoning or rationale for anything that happens, from the start of the bird attacks to why items in their possession continually appear or reappear or why the film follows the same general storyline that makes it predictable. These here really do lower this one so significantly that it's just as awful as its reputation suggests.Rated R: Violence and Language.
