Nice effects though.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

When I first saw reviews for Frequencies, I was thinking that the high praise and comparisons to Primer would only lead to my disappointment. Indeed, I would not compare it to Primer as it has zero time travel (although the story is told from different perspectives, this is more like Vantage Point than like any time- travel movie).It is driven by a few main characters, and slowly explains the setting, in a gentle, engrossing manner. Due to this, it is best to watch this when you won't be distracted, like at home with friends who like to be challenged or gently stimulated by movies, rather than distracted by fast-paced actions or shaky camera work. In other words, it is an elite movie, for the elites of armchair general society, and not for the temporary couch potato who has no mental energy to invest in a movie.That is all I will say because to say more might be to spoil it.Not only did I enjoy it, but I rate it a perfect 10/10, very very enjoyable, re-watchable, and has some concepts worth considering.

FrequenciesOXV: The ManualDirected and written by: Darren Paul FisherStars: Daniel Fraser, Eleanor Wyld, Owen Pugh, Dylan Llewellyn, Georgina MinterBrown, Tom England.The idea of predicting the future of a child based on testing their frequency which shows how lucky they will be is a futuristic element to the archaic innate need for romance. Marie's (Eleanor Wylde) frequency is superbly high making her more lucky and more perfect almost like a robot her intelligence rules over her emotions whereas Zak is the polar opposite therefore it is dangerous for Zak to be near hear because like opposing magnets they cause the universe to react to show them they should not be together.At school they are given scientific names Marie is known as Marie-Curie while Zak is known as Isaac Newton then Theo is Nikola Tesla because he figures the true meaning of the Nikola Tesla quote they were taught at school.That quote is "knowledge determines destiny", which is a major life lesson to anyone really.This does not stop Zak (Daniel Fraser) from achieving his dreams of turning his luck around and going against nature he strives to find a solution with the help of his friend Theo.Theo's short disappearance when Zak wanted Theo to get approval and give credit of the patented frequency invention. Then Theo arguing with his father about music versus science is a vague issue and probably is a huge discussion about more because him seeming like he is going far away and will not see his dad for a while adds to the mystery and mystique of this movie.This British gem of a movie is excellent, elegant and eloquent. A scientific yet philosophical romance movie shown in terms of an experiment which is an intelligent take on how real life is like particularly romance. It represents how romance and sex has become desensitized and sometimes love hits like a brick and the pain is unbearable. It is just an emotional roller coaster as true love tends to be. This movie is similar to 'Just My Luck'. But Frequencies or otherwise known as OXV: The Manual is more sentimental, sensual and sophisticated.The length and depth the characters go to for love despite their friends and family telling them otherwise is really romantic. Then Marie questions how he is safe when he is with her so she finds out that he can control nature through his phone showing words that stabilize nature for him to say. Yet Marie finds out that Zak can control frequency to the point of convincing people to do anything . That frightens her on the truth of their relationship.As we worry about relationship but cannot pin point anything to blame or truly question internally or externally. She wonders if he convinced her through raising his frequency levels and enforcing his power over her makes her feel used even when he assures her that is not the case. Only to find that Beethoven's music stabilizes everyone's frequency to a neutral level that makes no one have a higher frequency than another therefore no one could control anyone. When she finds her feelings for him are still the same it is happy ending indeed.

If it is true that the position of sub atomic particles can be accurately predicted (and it seems to be), and if it is true that we are made of atoms (and we are) then is stands to reason that we can be predicted as well. And if that is true, then all history - into the future - is waiting for us already. This is one part of the movie. But before that, there is another great science fiction story. And true to the good science fiction that it is, it takes a real observable "fact" of our lives (in this case that some people seem to be luckier in most aspects of life than others, being at the right place at the right time etc) and builds it out into a logical conclusion, a little bit beyond "the ordinary" that life usually gives us. And it is well told. The movie starts off a bit slow, but it is used to settle the premise of the story in one's mind, so bear with it. It soon tuns into an intelligent movie that leaves one well satisfied. If you like science fiction (not the bang whiz special effects sort, but the sort rooted in ideas and good story telling)watch this one.

I was in Chicago visiting my daughter and she had this one recorded on her DVR, so we watched it. The clever premise is that each person is born with a frequency which can be analyzed and a value determined. What you are and what life choices you have are determined by your frequency.Enter Daniel Fraser as Zak and Eleanor Wyld as Marie. We first see them as children in primary school and Zak has a liking for Marie but their frequencies are destined to keep them apart. But Zak doesn't accept that and he goes on to discover a way for people to change their frequencies. SPOILERS ahead: And the way is through music. In fact that had been discovered many times over the centuries, always to be forgotten then later re-discovered. Cool movie!
