hyped garbage
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
In the year 2029 Southern Oregon and Northern California have formed a libertarian style nation called Jefferson. Dylan (Sam Daly) is ex-special forces. After two years he is going back to visit his Sarah (Michelle Lombardo) who now lives with Bruce (Danforth Comins) a peace officer. Dylan has a small cylindrical computer called Clyde that he can pop in and out of his head. It advises him...aka "A Boy and His Dog." That is when he wants to use it. At a nightclub, Dylan meets Lisa (Leilani Sarelle) an untrustworthy woman who hires him to be a mediator between her and her even more untrustworthy husband (Simon Templeman) in a divorce.The title comes from an ELO song, "Long Black Road" an appropriate song for Dylan. There is a smidgen of humor in the film as when Dylan calls Clyde, HAL. This is a slow burn science fiction and I can envision many not enjoying it.Guide: F-word, sex, brief nudity (Leilani Sarelle)
I'm the kind of guy who will just throw a movie on while I'm playing a video game or whatnot so I can live with a lot of bad things in a movie, but this one is so bad it hurt. I barely made it 15 minutes in before I had to stop it. The CG looks like terrible, flat and terrible renders. The acting is... well also flat and and inexpressive. The cinematography is perfect, as long as the scene is boring and there is nothing better to look at than an actor walking across the shot. Sound fx, sounds like it was grabbed off the internet - they somehow managed to fit 200 wildly applauding people into a shabby nightclub for example. Unless you're really bored and don't mind a very sub-par movie just don't bother with this one.
The people of Oregon seem to have overwhelmingly positive things to say about this budget flick, which was made in their backyard. However I, knowing none of the crew or cast personally, am afraid to say I found it a little wooden. I kept waiting for the action to ramp up, for the cyborg part of our protagonist's character to come into it's own and do something more than a monotone voice-over. But, sadly, for much of the time this 'supercomputer' implant was removed from his skull and left our hero confused and unable to solve a rather tedious "He did it!", "No, She did it!" argument. There was no clever 'Aha!' moment where the truth was deduced from minute details, no caught in the act reveal, just a slow decline into a humdrum ending.
This movie was filmed locally in southern Oregon. I was not sure what to expect.. However, it is a Sci Fiction movie based in 2029 which was thrilling and had unexpected plots an turns. The main character went back to Jefferson which had become a free state to find his girlfriend. He was a cyborg with a removable computer that was implanted in his head. I gave this a higher rating because it was so much better than the cheesy Sci Fiction movies I have had the displeasure of watching. Great acting too. I felt like I was watching an A rated professional movie. I see almost every movie that comes out especially independent film . The producer even talked to us before the movie. You won't be disappointed.
