Kill Switch (2017)

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I love these kind of movies. But the acting and script is insanely bad.

A pilot battles to save his family and the planet after an experiment for unlimited energy goes wrong. I didn't expect to like Kill Switch to be honest but both Dan Steven's great leading perfomance and the whole 1st person shooter direction that the movie takes kept me entertained and pumped even when it has it's flaws like the whole back and fourth with his family or even the average cgi that at times hit the screen but i would lie if i said that i didn't like this movie and believe me it's better than it gets credit for. (8.5/10)

Actually the premise is pretty good. Special effects, cgi first rate but acting, especially the female lead - terrible. Impression I got was similar to a YouTube video shot with a GoPro. Jerky, not very illuminating and really distracting. The idea of an echo universe "created" but devoid of all life is interesting I guess, but surprise, it is a duplicate including all the bad actors. Oh and script! Did I mention dialog was really lame?? And "scientific" explanation for how the universe works supposedly by a world-renowned physicist was so lame a first physics major would know better. Story would have been better without the pseudo science explanation, well commercial really. All in all, even as a sci-fi fan I had a hard time watching this. If one has nothing better to do I suppose one could kill 2 hours but think I would rather play online poker lol.

While the science by its self is reasonably sound, at the same time; I believe that String theory is a subset of M-Theory while I am not completely up-to-date on the in's and out's I fairly certain these two are not reconcilable together as they are both Opposing Theory's!Further more this movie lost me the moment I was supposed to believe that He has to travel 8+ Km while walking right past a Boat and then a Bike! I mean common who's not going to take a boat to the island in the middle of the giant lake! We're supposed to believe the main actor is standing on a bridge over looking water with boats parked in dock and in the distance is the tower, if they wanted to do the FPS sequence thing they should have watched Doom at-least that was done right ... The movie just gets more cliché from that point forward. I was really hoping that this was going to be a hidden gem something that slipped under the radar ending up on some under-rated list, but I don't see that happening. Save your self the time and just go watch cat videos on or something.
