Absolutely the worst movie.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

"Human Revolution" is a 12-minute live action short film from 2014, so this one has its3rd anniversary this year. It is one of the short films by writer and director Moe Charif and it is also his only career turn as an actor so far. I read that this one we have here is based on a successful video game and while I have never played this game, I think that the outcome is respectable. The effects are on a level where they are certainly good enough to be used like this in a full feature film too. Acting and script are not too bad either, but in Sci-Fi movies these two areas almost never really shine anyway, so it is all good. i guess people who know (and like) the game and appreciate this previously mentioned genre more than I do may have a pretty great time watching here. Yes it is all a bit generic in terms of the story, but I still enjoyed the watch. The characters were somewhat memorable too, especially the dark-haired killer. Overall, I was positively surprised here and I give this film a thumbs-up. Worth checking out.

Although I have never played the game on which this is based and am therefore not really target audience, I did look at it when it came out as it looked like my sort of game. So in terms of being able to say how loyal it is to the game in terms of story or experience, I'm not the guy for that since I watched it as a standalone film. As such the film is very much about the superficial aspects as it tells a story about a woman being held while an augmented man tries to rescue her from the tight security around her captors – a large man and a psychotic augmented female assassin.The film opens with the striking image of a woman on a table and in a very nicely done set, has a tense standoff between the two. It is very well done and it sets the tone that the rest of the film will follow, which is that the visuals, design and delivery will be the all – the plot and specifics you don't really need to know. As someone not connected to the game, I appreciated that I guess for players the plot will fit well, but for me it still had plenty to offer. Although it is all very much about the surface level qualities, the film makes this work because it does these very well indeed. The sets are crisp and well done, costumes and makeup are very impressive and generally it all looks and feels the part.The filming adds to this by being very impressive; OK the action sequences are not groundbreaking in their technique, but for a short fan film it is really good (albeit with Machinima's support). The cast are not great actors but they fit visually, whether it be the punky violence of E'Orio, the striking physique and presence of Borrego or the slickness of Charif (cheeky devil, taking the lead in his own film). The visual effects are very impressive and generally they go on top of everything else to make the short feel much more expensive than it is.The running time is about right since the focus is on the superficial and it works very well on this level with great effects, sets, style and tone. It may be a fan-film but there is enough cool slickness here to draw in those who have never touched the game.
