I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Just because a film has a low budget, doesn't mean it needs to be stupid.There's too many moments where our hero stands out in the open, surrounded by enemies and yet they all miss. They are worse than Stormtroopers!! Supposedly well trained military do the most ridiculous things.The other rather annoying thing is that despite the film being called Sniper Elite on Amazon Prime, there's very little actual sniping.The story drags and goes nowhere. There's a really out of place monologue towards the end that is laughable. Most of the run time is spent trudging across a flat desert / scrub land.There's maybe a vaguely interesting premise behind this film, but it is lost under the weight of bad story telling, awful script, cliche, and poor direction.

I enjoyed this flick a lot. There was subtle propaganda in that a few of the characters appeared to be Pashto alongside the aliens, but if you are into the military/action genre, this coupled with a SciFi element made for a very interesting premise. There was some slow periods, but the SciFi angle really spiced it up.The only thing is that the command and control element hovering in low earth orbit appeared to be taken at a local fast food restaurant with red tables in the booths and the female military personnel wearing the type of baseball style caps you see them wearing in such restaurants. Maybe this is all meant for that audience.Nevertheless, I enjoyed it. Nine out of ten stars.

This movie is a bad sniper movie and an even worse science fiction movie. It looks cheap in all aspects. The CGI looks cheap and makes no sense at all. The bombardment scene in the beginning is a joke (a building collapsing like being demolished by carefully set explosive devices). The animations of vehicles look like SF games from the 90s.The costumes and weaponry are 90s Earth, on both sides (alien side too!). They did not even try to make them look different. Only the firing sound comes out of a PC and sounds just like that. The effects of bullet hits are erratic, sometimes solid rock explodes, sometimes a helmet face get's cut off as clean as with a laser torch, guy inside totally unharmed. Then suddenly, the "hero" starts running through enemy lines without any cover and takes them all out firing a pistol. Needless to say, that none of them shooting assault rifles hit him seriously, they already spent their luck moments before, cutting down his entire unit without resistance.The sniping techniques are beginners at best, most of the stuff shown is only show and has no real use. The reticules are fantasy style and use blurry hexagons to make shooting even harder.The movie has zero story. A few screens showing you beautiful young women try to tell you the basics of what has happened. Humans went to an alien inhabited planet and started a war. The "aliens" look 100% identical to humans (yeah, budget i know) wearing turquoise contact lenses. They speak in a rough makeup language producing metallic and static sounds that make no sense (no, they are not cybernetics). They wear black (evil color) suits and metal helmets that look a bit like a knight's helmet meets Darth Vader.The whole movie,yes the whole movie, is made up of scenes where the protagonists runs away, hides, sets up to snipe a few of his pursuers, then continues. Ah, and a few scenes on board a mysterious military station in orbit where officers watch and comment his actions but do NOTHING to help him.Finally he meets the damsel in distress, an alien woman, confronts a fellow human soldier (he must defeat him in close combat obviously) and get's saved by his enemy, the alien sniper because he showed mercy and compassion to the atrocities done to the aliens by humans (his comrades).The whole movie was an excuse to show someone use a sniper rifle (wrongly).If you are looking for a science fiction movie, skip it. If you are looking for a sniper movie, look further. Nothing else to be seen here. Overrated Miss Aiden doesn't add anything to the movie, even trying to look good is a pain here.One can only hope that the director will not raise any further money via Kickstarter to undertake another adventure into the realms of movie making. This movie was not even well-meant. If it was a student's first full movie attempt...no, even then it would disappoint.

Personally enjoyed the movie quite a lot. You have to wrap your mind around this one to pick up on all of the twist and turns with a smidgen of innuendo. Movie is somewhat deeper than it appears-if you don't pick up on it the first time, watch it again. To me it is not just your everyday "shoot-'em-up" flick. I have not read the book that the movie was based on but glad I didn't as I believe it would have ruined the movie for me. I may now read the book to see if I am correct with the conclusions I drew from the movie are correct. I thought the props, costumes, location, all fit the overall theme. I enjoy watching for bloopers, objects that should not be present such as tire tracks in westerns, etc. If they were present in this film I missed them.
