Shockwave Darkside (2014)

To me, this movie is perfection.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Best movie of this year hands down!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I'm a really big Scifi fan and can endure a lot... this, however was a pain from start to end. The CG is so bad your laughter will get stuck in your throat. The costumes look like they are made in a garage and I feel sorry for the actors that had to wear them. I think they might have abrasions between their thighs still (2016). The lead actor (?) disappears without any explanation, I think she might have died? Half the movie is covered with a silly computer in-helmet interface that would make any interface designer cry blood. So, if your a big Scifi fan like me, go to your bookshelf pick out the worst VHS you can find and I guarantee you will have a better time then this.

And I'm not talking about "how bad the movie is" or me watching this was awful or worst ... ever scenarios. I've seen worse movie, that's not it. But I have never seen anything and talked to people after that, where no one ... let me write that get again -> NO ONE(!), not one single person, had anything good to say about the movie. This happened at Frightfest and if this movie won something, it was worst movie playing in 2014 at the Festival.Having said all that, I normally have a weak spot for movies that put a band of people together, preferably with different skills, diversity in general. One of the few things this almost succeeds in. One of the other being the science factor, where a friend of mine said, they got a couple of things right. But all is rendered useless, by an uninspired script, acting "wooden" (which is also attributed to the really bad costumes), bad effects that could be able to make you puke and a general disorientation at times. Which is even worse when it happens during action sequences. It's a shame, but this 3D experiment went completely off the rails .... not in a good way

I caught a screening of this film in NYC prior to the Fright Fest debut. It's actually a brilliant reflection of the current state of global affairs with regards to war and religion... driven at the end of the day by resources disguised as fanaticism. The storyline mirrors what is happening right now in places like the Middle East, Russia, Africa -- timely is too passive of a word. It is funny how US audiences are responding more favorably to that message. Especially in NY. (I know we screened a stone's throw from the September 11th attack site -- now the Freedom Tower. Chilling.) This is the type of film that slashes the moral mind -- not a scantly clad actress' left breast. Not the best thrill for a horror film festival crowd. A great film for a crowd tired of the Hollywood Marvel Comics machine! I can't wait to see what Mr. Weisman does when given the Hollywood budget and big guns!

I saw this on Friday at FrightFest. Not every day you see a small budget picture with big effects and payoff. I enjoyed the intellect of the writing, the acting and many of the effects. I really liked how they coloured this film. Felt very immerseive in that sense. I'd say my favourite film from the four I saw at the fest. As a love of the arts in general, I applaud ambitious story telling in all forms, not just cinema. Any piece that can captivate your senses and force you to think, to ponder, to question- is a piece of art that deserves to be acknowledged. The world is filled with brain numbing material that is proved to make our culture and society less endeavored than previous generations. I'm not saying this picture will change the world, but I certainly don't see it making it any worse, if not providing some clarity along the way.
