• What did I watch!?

  The only good thing about this project(?) is that it appears to give employment to people who would normally be cashing an unemployment cheque. You couldn't really call it a film as it's so terrible with it's attempt at cheesy one liners. The acting is so bad I'd swear this was their first attempt at it if I hadn't checked their previous history. Clearly Netflix is padding out their library with rubbish like this. Do yourself a favour and give it a miss.

• Opportunities missed by a country mile...

  This could have been an excellent movie, but from the first scene (post-apocalypse 2067, with heavy road traffic visible in the background) it was obvious this was going to stink. The budget was so low it couldn't even stretch to hiring actors, the universally poor performances seemingly delivered by unwitting members of the public who sounded like they were reading from a shopping list. To sum up how poor this film is, when I logged on to this site, I watched the trailer for the film. It was preceded by an ad for Ferrero Rocher which was infinitely more interesting than the entire film itself. This could have been a really good effort, even with the obviously non-existent budget, but instead it was poorly written, poorly acted, a poorly executed exercise in putting together every cliché in the genre in the least entertaining way possible. All I can really say about spoilers is this: if you actually watch this film, you'll have spoiled your evening when you could have been doing something much more interesting, like watching paint dry.

• Barely passable

  This movie was recommended to me in the new releases category on Netflix. So I gave it a go, trying not to be biased by the bad ratings it has already got. But oh boy... The plot of the story is in short that the world is in ruins after a nuclear war that almost wiped out the entire human species. The remaining survivors enlist to become time traveling agents to stop the war from ever happening. These agents are also rebels and when there's rebels there's an almost omnipotent evil government-like force trying to stop the rebels from preventing the war. (Sounds like something I've watched before) I tend to have faith in ridiculous movie concepts, because those movies do, from time to time, blow me away. But I lost faith after the first 3 minutes and kept watching out of curiosity. My god the movie sin counter was off the charts on this one. Trying to create cheesy movie- catchphrases, bad clichés of every sort, that made me cringe at multiple occasions, CCTV has the exact same shot on monitor as in the actual scene, gaping plot holes. No well written characters, dialogue or conflicts. The plot was wishful thinking at best. I do also think the chronology should have been changed. The movie also ends in a manner that makes room for a sequel. No thank you

• The acting sucks

  Great concept - but the acting! It sucks like no other movie pretending to be mature. Or any other movie. The characters speak to themselves to underline the storyline. Lines are written as out of a schoolplay. Action is carried out with panting and don't-show-tell teenager one-liners. This movie could have been good.

• Swing and a miss

  I've seen some terrible movies but this....there are no words. Actors only begin to seem comfortable in their skins at the end of the movie. Plot was good in theory (if you ignore the whole time travel paradox) but missed the mark, left it open to a sequel that I doubt will ever happen. Not much else to say, sorry it's terrible.
