That was an excellent one.

Simply Perfect

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The most impactful aspect of Spectral is its wonderful adaptation of states of nature and materialistic aspects into a thrilling and a suspenseful science fiction movie by the writer and director Nic Mathieu. The flow of the story merges a military background with an ongoing war with a catastrophically misaligned human experiment with the unnatural and unstable states of nature in the aim of creating mass murdering military weapons. James Badge Dale as Clyne shines and becomes the main focal point of the film as the DARPA scientist who is confused and carries the burden of responsibility of finding the answer for all the chaos breaking loose on battle grounds. The momentum of the plot is best kept with enough suspense in the first half of the film where you wouldn't take your eyes off the screen but the second half would slowly become repetitive and kinda exhausting with its predictability. But, the climax would set things straight in the right way giving a proper conclusion to the chaos. Watch this film for the director's unique adaptation of unstable states of nature into a chaotic science fictioned catastrophy. I'm going with 3.5/5

Spectral: Special Forces along with a DARPA scientist and a CIA agent battle invisible creatures which can kill by touch and seem to be composed of energy. Through special goggles they appear as ghost-like wraiths.Set in near future Moldova where the US has intervened in a Civil War. (The supporters of the over-thrown Government are referred to as Insurgents.) A devastated City and abandoned/ruined industrial plants give both the feel of Terminator and Alien. The Special Ops teams are equipped like Colonial Marines or even Starship Troopers. A Netflix original filmed in and around Budapest, I recognised some landmarks but I hope CGI was used to inflict the damage Good SF/Horror which at 1h 44m might have benefited from a 15m cut in running time. 7/10.

If any of you who reviewed this movie so harshly EVER watched a Star Trek episode, trust me, you would see the same ability to create high tech crap out of nothing in the blink of an eye. Scotty worked absolute miracles in under an hour. The real problem with some of these reviewers is that they simply do not know how to be entertained. If you want the perfect movie, totally believable, without plot holes, scientifically accurate, and beautifully filmed then make it your damn self. Oh, but not any of you can, cause you're not actual filmmakers. Just sad and negative people who can't be simply entertained and just have to ruin it for those of us who can. This movie is not great, that's true, but it is kinda fun and kinda goofy, and thouroughly entertaining to most normal people. I'm sorry that some of you expect EVERY movie to be a masterpiece. Maybe you should confine yourselves to watching classic movies and avoid anything new. SHEESH what a bunch of maroons.

Not sure how to go about this review without contradicting myself. It's both a very good movie and a mediocre movie. It's a mystery sci-fi thriller. Set in a war where soldiers are being killed by ghost-like specters. The special effects in this film are superb, really really excellent. The specters are brilliantly portrayed with some outstanding scenes of them running through air. The plot is basically the army bringing in a scientist designer of high tech gear to help them identify what the specters are. Although the plot is pretty good the movie lacks a certain depth. I think maybe a stronger cast may have helped deliver some of what was lacking. Even as the film reveals what the specters are it doesn't really disappoint, the story-line is one that hasn't really been overdone in the past. The movie is full of action, a lot of death which is a little overwhelming at times and the specters are relentless. The locations that the film was shot at are very impressive. It is just a shame that it feels something is missing just to make it that level of excellent that we look for in this kind of movie.
