The 7th Dimension (2010)

So much average

I wanted to but couldn't!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

I clearly wasn't thinking straight when I bought this DVD entitled Decoder, assuming it was the German film directed by Muscha. Why did the Japanese feel the need to change the title? Paid for it, might as well watch it, I thought, and then found I couldn't switch off the Japanese subtitles. The non-stop chatter and the histrionics gave me the impression that the script was written by a teenager and the only reason I ended up watching the whole silly film was because the cat went to sleep on my knee and I didn't want to disturb her. Unconvincing story and unconvincing performances. I'm not saying the acting is particularly bad, but it's English soap opera / sit-com level. The credits state 'This motion picture is a work of fiction'. No kidding. I've ordered a copy of Decoder. The right one this time.

The character of Zoe is so annoying that it overshadows any attempt at a plot - which turns out to be very weak.I don't have much time for females who go stomping off every minute when things don't go their own way, also the double-talk super fast dialogue did very little to hide a very weak plot.As usual we have a group of people trapped in a lonely location who tap into something and scary things happen. This has been done so much much better by other people elsewhere.There is a myth that certain people have the ability to hack into any worldwide computer system, this film taps into the myth with the hackers shouting techno-drivel to each other as they open up various highly secure systems from their flat.When weird things start to happen everything is drowned out by Zoe yelling the usual "Oh my God - get me out of here" and "Did you see that - something was here" drivel.Films that have to include the token love angle show a lack of focus and weak script - this was no exception.

Quite possibly the worst film I've ever seen. An hour and a half of my life I won't see again. Having paid to watch this dross on Sky Box Office I was not happy at all. The synopsis sounded amazing - British Spooky Chiller, erm were was all the spooky chills. All this was was a cheap, nasty little gore fest with petulant teenage type females arguing and seeing how many times they could use the F word. It became wearing after a while and shows just how lazy the writers are. You don't need to litter a movie with F*** every five seconds and you need to have a believable story. All that going on in a penthouse in a seedy run down block of flats in London and no-one notices - come on! I wondered what the people in the flat below them were thinking as noise travels in flats so all that idiot nonsense would have been heard, the police would have been called especially with all the screaming Zoe was doing - there was a character that you wanted to slap to shut up her incessant complaining, ranting, screaming and shouting. Not one of the characters made you want to invest in them, their story or their fate, it was a cheap, crappy, lazy tripefest of a movie and if this is what The British Film Council is actively encouraging then its no wonder it's being disbanded.Kelly Adams of Hustle fame needs to choose her roles more carefully in future; this crap will do nothing to further her career if she leaves that show.What a complete and utter waste of time and money, I absolutely detest rubbish like this, advertised as one thing and is totally the opposite. Lazy and ineffectual writers should be told to go back to school and learn their trade PROPERLY, not have money thrown at them to go away and make rubbish. The more that happens the more rubbish movies like this we can expect to see.All in all this was F****** Sh*t, just like they kept saying all the way through the movie. Appalling, abysmal waste of time and money.

The film is set in London, although the story sees only a pinch of the city and is plotted inside a tatty London flat.It's a psychological paranormal film, are the characters going mad or is there something supernatural at force? Sarah comes from a strict RC mother and knows her religious passages, although, she's not a firm follower herself. She has her beliefs tested throughout this film, with a glimpse of possibility that she could fall for the insanely ranting Declan.Basically, 2 Uni student girls, go out on a whim to visit one of their 'love interest's', which turns out to be a 1 night stand that her friend can not get over and has to pursue. Evidently, this guy feels the same way, the big issue with this, is that he is her lecturer at Uni (doh!). Only, they get an evening that they were not bargaining for! Upon entering her love interest's flat, they find 2 other people, a Gothic bi-polar American lass and a deluded ranting crippled brit. All 3 are on a mission to hack the vatican's archives, in the hopes that they can find the elusive 'Torah' in a 3rd dimension, meaning that they may be able to crack the most sort after code, in centuries.During this time, you do get to see declan becoming more deluded, schizophrenic could be a term for him. Breaking into the vatican record, for him, is life changing and not in a good way.The film never expanded on the 'supernatural attack', just words like 'CIA's remote viewers' and 'Vatican ghosts' were usually flung about.A super natural low budget thriller that would have justified it's self better, if the plot wasn't so scatty and lacking.Saving grace of this film................quality cast.Not a bad film but by means,it's no 'Da Vinci' code!
