Genesis (2018)

Very Cool!!!

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

I don't know what their budget was, obviously not much when you see the poor special effects and the mediocre settings, but a low budget does not necessarily means a bad movie. It could have good actors and a good story. But the truth is that neither of those were present in Genesis. It's a terrible movie, a total time waster, one you wished you never watched. And not only the movie is really bad it's also extremely long, almost two hours of intense garbage. If only they would have used the money they spent on a two hour movie for maybe a very short movie or a videoclip then maybe it could have been something, but I have severe doubts about that because talent is obviously something they lack here. I hope it's not their only way to make a living otherwise I can't see a bright future for them. If so, don't despair, McDonalds is always hiring.

First; I don't like the new star rating system. I liked it better when they picture the number of stars. Not one star with text for rating.This movie is in serious need of a new director & screen writer. They fixated too much on the bad air & endless wasted shots of people running through it with failing hazmat suits. Not once did anyone bother to fix the com system between the hazmat suits and their command center or the suits continuous degradation. Yet they have no problem reading the suit integrity data which showed the shelter command had contact but didn't let the people outside be heard. Probably deliberate but no one bothered to check the problem.Then there was the raving & rioting of the minions and the political backstabbing & brutal military not following orders. I'm really sick of violence & loudmouths. They need to focus on the story & character interaction for a change. That's what made Star Trek so popular. The character formula & fresh scifi space stories.Let us not forget the Androids on this movie who decided humans weren't worth saving. Then there was the totally unnecessary scene of the rioters burning their leader alive while his backstabbing assistant survived. We don't need to see people burned alive or an hour of people choking on poisonous atmosphere in every scene.This movie also needs better audio. They need to do some major overhauls in personnel before making another movie. This one could also use a better name.You'll get sick of the running in poison gas with failing suits which is the very first scene & ridiculously long & monotonous. Then the same type of scenes repeated every 10 minutes. I also found it unbelievable that they had no idea of the status & locations of other shelters, and little detail on how they got that way. I fast forwarded it the first time & finally want back & rewatched the entire film.I cannot recommend it.

Captivating for the first five minutes, and rapidly downhill from there.I watched it to the last minute only so I could fairly rate this stinker.Rating: Stinker!

Considering that this film is a look at human nature with an AI humanoid made to help them, the ending is not a great surprise. quite predictable but also quite well made for a low budget film. It's a shame that although this is the first of a trilogy, I don't think that the second part will be made, let alone the third. (any film makers out there who want to prove me wrong, please go ahead and make part two, I for one will give it a watch.) The films views on how "humans" react to certain circumstances is fairly accurate which makes the whole story line believable. I feel that a higher budget would have helped, but overall it's worth a watch if you like this kind of film.
