Must See Movie...
Admirable film.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
I thought that the movie was entertaining. I have read the other reviews and I do agree with some of the things. The technical terms could be toned down. I was mostly happy to see Kellie Martin again. It was good to see some faces that I have not seen before. I guess that you would have to like fantasy/sci-fi to enjoy this movie. It is a great family show and I guess it could be easily be made more appealing to older audiences. I was a little annoyed with all of the Wal-Mart and Xbox commercials. I do not go to Wal-Mart, nor do I have an Xbox. If NBC does make it into a series they will have to make some adjustments. I hope that at least a part two is created.
I really like the idea behind this movie, a group of geniuses gathered together to solve the world's problems not for the credit, but because its the right thing to do. It was interesting to see Kellie Martin take on the adult role. She did well, but that makeup job made her look like she was pushing 40 and she's only 34. Patricia Richardson was good, but underutilized. Same for LeVar Burton. The special effects were really awesome. There were a couple of things that bugged me. While I realize it was necessary, all that science talk would start to lose me at times. The other was for the guy that played Edwin. When they are running the experiments on the nanobot, and the Asian guy keeps messing with the test subject's heart by first lowering it, and then making it go really fast, Edwin objects to it seeming to indicate that he's not a killer. However, when it's placed in Brody, he seems to have no problem with letting him die if need be. Overall, though I did really enjoy it. It's a good movie to sit down and watch with the family, and not have to worry about it being overly violent, with lots of bad language, and sexual content.
My ratings out of 5:Acting 1/5 (only for Kellie Martin)Directing 0.5/5Dialogue 0/5 (never mind how infernally fast actors spoke when dealing with comic-book technology so we couldn't understand)Story 2.5/5 Script 1/5Set design 3/5I quit after about 40 minutes. Pathetic and ghastly and manipulative. Too much speed-talking. Too much background music (bad pop) for who knows what reason. The premise was quite good. The execution was as bad and as cynical as it could be.
Everything was so fake. The dialogue sounded fake and they mention corny technology names too often. Not to give anything away, but I found it ridiculous that they had so much advanced technology, and the whole plot is saved by a simple device that everyone uses now.Only watch it if you want some laughs at how ridiculous it is.Out of ten stars, I would give it a, 2/10One other thing bad about the movie: The Sound mixing was terrible. There was music constantly playing but it was not balanced with the dialogue so it was very difficult to understand what they were saying at times.
