Dreadfully Boring
... View MoreIt's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
... View MoreAt first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreWhen I read about the film in the Redbox, it reveals information that is not revealed in the film until the last 5-10 minutes. I won't do that per se, but the film is so bad, spoilers won't matter.Full figured Dr. Kimmy Gabriel (Bridget McGrath) can not have a child, but keeps on trying. She is very pro-life and reluctantly accepts a position at a human clone project under Dr. Roger Gibson (Charles Hubbell). She steals a cloned embryo and implants it in herself. The film jumps to seven years later as the world is thrust into a post apocalyptic nightmare as Kimmy and her son David (Rocko Hale) live in a run down tenement living off government MRE handouts.The film has heavy religious messages as both lesion faced Kim and Roger are very religious and frequently read from the Bible and listen to radio preachers. This appears to be a "come to Jesus film" except the "good guys" do nothing heroic to save the day or themselves. Indeed, if anything they appear to be part of the problem which is to make a statement about the condition of human existence.This film is very low budget. The sets are meager. The acting is bad and dialouge has a religious corniness to it. It fails to get interesting until 10 minutes before the final credits and by then you pray for the end.Knowing the "secret" of the film by reading the by-line I couldn't help but think during the film..."Funny. He doesn't look Jewish."Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. Bridget McGrath cleavage.
... View MoreIf it were only the mangled science and the poorly crafted ending, I would rate this movie higher. I found it on Hulu listed as Horror, but that doesn't do it justice. The movie is a horror on so many levels. Other reviewers have noted the scientific issues, along with the less-than-stellar production values, so I won't repeat those criticisms here. My primary concern is the bad theology on which the film is based. Theologically, the film fails. The early scenes in the military compound/lab are obviously anti-abortion, and the idea that women could be forced to participate in the experiment because they are undocumented immigrants reeks of a cross between Nazism and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. There is also a strong tendency toward the judgmental, punishing God of Pat Robertson and his ilk, and very little by way of the God who loved the world so much as to send Jesus to save it.
... View Morethis a low cheap movie a sci fi low budget movie, first terrible and in no good shape actors, the principal role is leading for a fat ugly girl, in the first scene show her bad feet (go first to the pedicure) and the dude is kind of archie or Robert Redford after 100 plastic operations......i don't understand where those people are come from??? the director found on the street walking????? well the story is know for everybody,but please why we have to see this kind of movies there are no some first professional review? as always the first review of this movie was from some of the crew....the director of this movie must be ban and all the people inside... don't waste your time bad bad movie
... View MoreI recently was invited to an early, private screening of this film by a friend of one of the film makers.I was going to give my opinion of the film, which I thought I had already formulated based on the synopsis; not my taste.The second coming of Christ... through cloning... too far fetched for my blood. That was the opinion that I was building up. I was considering how to voice my opinion, should a Q and A arise. I was prepared.I was wrong.This film is very impressive. Director Vaughn Juares has knocked on out of the park.More impressive than the film is that Vaughn and his wife Bridget McGrath shot this film over the course of 2 years for almost no money. I was blown away when I heard this.This film looks like a Hollywood movie. It sounds like a Hollywood movie. The actors, though nameless, act like Hollywood actors.Don't Hollywood movies cost millions of dollars? This story is very thoughtful and gritty-real. It could happen. For Christ's sake I hope not, though. Vaughn Juares and his writing partner, Joseph Schneider, have proved they know how to tell a story worth the inflated price of a movie ticket.The rumor is that Man Made will film next spring. Watch it as soon as you get a chance.
