Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Birdemic is an exceptionally bad movie that's become legendary in its suckiness. From the non-existent acting to the infamous CGI-birds who have kamikaze plane-sound-effects when they dive onto 'terrified civilians', James Nguyen shows his artistically inept vision where he can show his expertise in the field of cinema; he just shows how much he bites off way more than he can chew, and he can't make movies to save his life. Sure he loves Alfred Hitchcock, but that CERTAINLY doesn't show in this movie whatsoever. It's gorgeously terrible movie-making it hurts.Birdemic is an exercise that f###ing ANYTHING is possible when it comes to movie-making: nothing's off limits in terms of ambition or quality regardless of the end product. Birdemic is the below rock-bottom result of that effort; it makes The Room look like Vertigo.James Nguyen is an ass-teur, an asinine 'auteur' who relishes in making movies while having absolutely no idea what the f### he's doing at all. He makes Hollywood mainstays like Brett Ratner and Michael Bay look comparable to Stanley Kubrick or Christopher Nolan; or freaking David Lynch.Birdemic is a 0/5-star magnum anus of a movie.

The Director is such a Dork, Derp and Stupid. Why such this exist? The Cinematography is such painful in the eyes! It's like from the Windows 10 Night Light Feature but much painful in the eyes! Poor CGI, Poor Acting and Most Likely the actors doesn't have a Workshop support! Even the director didn't have at least attend school for directors!The movie is true from it's title... Because the movie itself is in fact.... SHOCK AND TERROR! A big Middle-Finger to this movie! Go back to school, James Nguyen!

No words can describe the true horror that this movie has brought me. I had to stop halfway through this movie to cry and remember how to breathe. I cannot express how truly shocked this movie has left me. This movie will invade my dreams and haunt my thoughts for weeks, I don't remember what life is anymore. This movie needs to be burned. I would like to erase it from my memory. For the love of god, please, don't subject yourself to this. This movie legitimately makes me want to die. Kill me. Kill this movie. Please. I need therapy.

Tl;dr : no.As someone who has written a couple of reviews in the past, I'm at a loss at how to start on this review. I'm typing this extremely, extremely slowly, just searching for a way to approach this. I guess I had better start with the most prominent feature of the film.Alan Bagh. I act as a hobby, and I've seen my fair share of terrible actors. But Alan Bagh is worse than the worst actor I've ever seen. Ever. Not just on screen - he's worse than the kid who played the innkeeper in my school Christmas play when I was 5 (his only line was 'No. Goodnight,' and he forgot it). He puts Tommy Wiseau to shame. Whitney Moore is slightly better, but not by much - the most realistic thing about her is that she plays a model for Victoria's secret. I don't even want to talk about James Nguyen, the 'director' and 'writer'. But James, if you're reading this, I want you to know: You're a sick, depraved man. This film has shattered my faith in the art of film-making. I wish I was exaggerating. I wish this was just some joke, but it's not. I think the scariest bit about the film is that... everyone was trying their best. This was the best James Nguyen could do. His best shot. Alan Bagh wasn't acting like that because he was joking. He was acting like that because that's what he thought acting was like. And at the end of the day, they all patted themselves on the back, and congratulated each other on a good day's work. Just let that sink in.Sure, the first 30 minutes are funny. But it slowly turns sour, as you just watch your faith in humanity crumble before your eyes. It's like getting drunk with friends - at first, it's all laughs and in good spirit, but slowly over time it turns into something which threatens your entire wellbeing and the wellbeing of everyone you love. That's what it's like watching Birdemic. At the end of the day, it'll never reach the same cult status as The Room, because while The Room is some semi-playful BDSM, this is like someone holding a blowtorch to your balls. I'm giving this a 1/10 officially, but right after this, I'm going to email IMDb and ask them to put a 0/10 rating in place. Because what was the one point for? What in this film warranted the point? Where was the part of the film where I though 'yeah, this deserves a point'? I'm going to take a nice long shower and have a bit of a cry, now. I'm done.0/10
