Okay, Danny Draven is a very good director...only 23 years old...anyway--
Like most reviews I have read about this movie...I also felt it ended too quickly. This movie was actually building up to be something...The story line about technology destroying mankind, was getting good...then a 2 minute show down at the end killed the whole thing.
Too many Matrix overtones, I feel, also killed the movie. It was good, but it was "borrowing" too much from The Matrix...However, I really did like the creatures in this movie. Wetwire and Manifesto were excellent costumes, that didn't look as dull as most of Full Moon's recent stuff does. I would really like to see the director, Danny Draven redo this movie with about 5 million dollars (instead of the maybe $200,000 or less he did for this). I think he is good director, and young...that is a good thing in hollywood. I just hope that Full Moon doesn't keep their hooks in him too long..I hope he is really discovered. JR Bookwalter did an excellent job recommending Draven to direct....
At maybe 70 mins long, this movie really relied on alot of Padding to get it thru those 70 mins...listening to the commentary on the DVD, we learn that there were several other scenes intended for the movie, but were not made because of budgetary retraints....
Charlie Band: Please, I beg you instead of the insane notion to make 40 movie a year...Please double and triple the budgets on movies with a good idea...This would have been alot better with more money....
7 out of 10
