The Scientist (2010)

Powerful

Excellent but underrated film

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

According to the article below; the sole purpose of this movie was to scam the Iowa film board. Iowa gave among the most generous tax incentives to have movies made in the state. This one certainly didn't help anyone in Iowa. The people involved were prosecuted.The site is io9.com The article is the biggest science fiction movie hoaxes and scams of all time. I only watched a few minutes of this movie then checked out the reviews. The article from IO9.com explained why someone would even bother to make this.Don't waste any time on this.

Cant believe how boring this film is after reading some of the other reviews, I honestly feel like I wasted an hour and a half of my life waiting for something to happen in this movie. Long silences every 2-3 minutes, at least there is plenty opportunities to make a cuppa. To enjoy this film at its best, take some matches to keep your eyes open. The acting was good, The story was average There is nothing more I can say or write about this movie but I have to write at least 10 lines before this can be submitted. Which is a real shame as I am sure that if watched a lot of people will agree that it was a terrible film, in fact if this was a book it would be about 10 pages long...

I could have easily watched this all the way through had it not been for the movies sound. I cannot fathom what on earth the sound people think their doing. During quiet voice sections I was constantly having to rewind and turn the volume up to hear what the actors were saying and then turn it down during the loud music sections. Just after half way through I switched it off which was a shame because its a decent film but you need to get in to the vibe rather than automate the film with the remote control. Perhaps it was just the copy I watched?I may pick it up again when Im in the mood and knowing what the sound is like I will be better prepared because I would have liked this movie for its interesting story.

Back in July, Gypsyhouse Entertainment sent me the DVD ''The Scientist'', by Zack LeBeau, to review. It's about a reclusive physicist who creates an infinite-energy machine in his basement that changes his life and all those around him.Unfortunately, the DVD got lost in a stack of stuff piling up next to my desk until I cleaned up the stack a couple of days ago; at which point I decided to watch it, rather than put it off any longer.I usually have my laptop open when I watch movies so I can multi-task, depending on how much I get into the plot of the movie. But this movie had me every second. After about ten minutes I just closed my laptop and turned off the lights (which I usually keep on to see the keyboard).I was expecting a B-rate movie, which probably contributed to how much I ended up liking the movie. If you over-rate a movie, even a great movie can be a let-down – and vise versa.The film had a lot of things that captured my interest: metaphysical mystery, eccentric inventor struggling with his personal life, caring neighbors and friends, exotic energy device, healing via the device, time travel, mainstream vs. fringe science, synchronistic events, ESP, inter dimensional stuff.The cinematography was brilliant, the way the camera angles and starts and stops were executed. It had my brain and heart on the edges of their seats. The portrayal of the device was awesome: spinning, shining, with mini-lightning sparks pulsating.The subtitle of the film, on the top of the cover: "What do you think happens when you die?" doesn't seem to be very fitting for the actual contents of the film, though that concept was touched on.I would definitely recommend it to you, and I think it will appeal equally to males and females, having elements for both.It's great metaphysical food. But don't build up your expectations too high. Just watch it, and enjoy.
