Homeworld (2008)

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

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.

I saw this movie without thinking i would get something out of it, but it seems the story was actually captivating. Especially the ending was a bit of a surprise, although it was kind of spoiled by final words before throwing the virus at the city more exactly it was kind of a cliché. The acting wasn't all that good, i didn't see anyone that caught my attention as an actor in this film. The special effects weren't necessarily bad as they were almost missing. But the good part was the story. It was kind of a psychological SF film. I tend to ignore the lack of special effects if the story is right because i think a movie is made by the story not by the special effects and that is what i appreciate most. So it depends on what you want in a movie to decide if you should watch this movie or not.

It seems that a lot of hard work and thought went into writing and filming this movie, however the person(s) responsible for casting blew it.I really enjoyed the story line. It was thought provoking, possessed continuity, and stands out as one of the better crafted movies of this genre for 2008.The people responsible for cinematography and effects in this movie did a fine job, and the music was original and fitting.As for the acting, Kenneth Sears was not just a bad actor in the film, but his accent was distracting and annoying making any scene in which he spoke a chore to experience. The rest of the actors in the movie delivered mediocre performances as well, but none were as bad as Sears. I felt as though I was sitting through a 1970's porn before the sex scenes started.

After reading the summary here, I got interested and finally gave Homeworld a chance. I still have mixed feelings. Sci-fi movies nowdays tend to be awful, so I was a bit skeptic all through this movie, and for part of it, I was right.Let's get the bad things out of the way first: low-grade special effects, the script is awful, and the props and camera-work could be better. Homeworld being an extremely low budget movie, these things are kinda expected, so no biggie there. The acting is a little corny too, but seemingly the actors are giving their best at least. The characters have speaker names (Gray, Bane, Heart, Fulsome...etc), which is kinda strange in a movie like this, but at least they are mostly true to their characters.The good part is the story itself. Although it feels like it was taken square out of Outer Limits, it still enjoyable. The ending is the best. It manages to do a rare thing, which is to turn the tables around, making an awful movie feel much better in the long run. It completes the story, but leaves the rest for the imagination. Loved it.Interesting concept and good story. Too bad the low budget ruined the picture. Better script and dialogs, better props, scenery and effects could've made the difference. Homeworld is not a bad movie, but sadly, not a real good one either. If you like a good story, give it a try. If you are out for the flashy CGI, Homeworld is not a movie for you.

I was a bit hesitant to rent this, as Sci-fi movies you first see on the shelves tend to be appalling. I was pleasantly surprised to watch a thought-provoking film that made me really try to figure out the ending before it happened.The special effects were cool, but don't expect to see much, since they obviously spent most of their FX budget on the first scene. The acting was good for a low budget sci-fi film, but there were some moments at the beginning that almost made me turn it off. Every sci-fi film needs a hot chick, and this one will suffice. As far as the writing goes, what I thought was a bad story progression was actually pretty original and intentional considering the ending, so watch with an open mind, and enjoy the internal struggle you will face watching it.I immediately checked here after watching for some insight into the ending, so I may make another with spoilers attached, to share what I think the ending meant. Great story, I wish they had put more money into it, and acquired some more substantial acting and music. But all in all, it was an intriguing movie that anyone who likes movies that makes them think should watch.
