Highly Overrated But Still Good

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I haven't seen this version yet but just got done watching the second one. Something popped out at me as soon as i read the summary. The creators of the 3rd installment couldn't even get the time line correct. in the 2nd movie Justine is 6, as said by Steven when talking to his girlfriend, Marta. In the summary it says seven years into the invasion but then they say that Justine is 17. if i remember back in freakin kindergarten. 6 (age) + 7 (yrs of invasion) = 13 not 17. obviously the creators just threw **** out there without referencing to the other movies. and also what happened to all the scary ghost things? these things were cheesy as hell and served barley any purpose. how about Dimension goes back and watches the 1st one over and try again. worst sequels ever (almost as bad as the saw movies)

I actually enjoyed this third outing of the Pulse trilogy. But well... it is still a bad movie.First off we get to see a couple in love via internet. He's American, she is Egyptian and they have cyberlove for over 10 months. She gets infected and kills herself off. He is in shock.Fast forward seven year and we get to hook up again with Justine (the youngling from part 2), who has now turned into a rebellious teen in a Amish society. Taken over by foster parents she isn't satisfied with the life she has. By chance she find an old decrepit laptop stowed away in a car. She unwittingly takes a risk and turns on the little death machine. After which she is instantly attacked by... a chat-room. There she meets Adam, who apparently lives in town (Houston to be exact) and invites her over to visit. Naturally she takes a trip by foot to meet the mysterious internet lover...Not all is bad with this movie. Yes, some of the acting is off, but in general the action is good and after a while you get used to the crappy blue screen. If you take it at face value you might actually enjoy yourself, as there are a couple of really worthwhile sequences with the opening segment a standout. Additionally there are a couple of interesting ideas, like causing pain to spectres via ultrared light or the whole house in the prairie motive.But if you put any thought into the movie it just doesn't make any sense. In the end it turns out that Justine's whole trip was pointless and gives nothing to the story. Additionally we are to believe that it took the army seven years to coordinate a global nuclear EMP attack (what does that say about the army?). Not to mention cell-phones that have power after seven years of laying around in the dirt (Nokia eat your heart out!). All in all I strongly doubt that after the prolonged period of lack of power sources (with no-one to run the power plants electricity would be down in a matter of days, save for maybe nuclear facilities), maintenance and so on anything electromagnetic would be working after seven years. Basically the whole premise stinks of crappy writing and zero afterthought as it really doesn't make much sense.Generally if you were involved by the previous two parts you can watch this to get some sort of closure. But don't expect much (in any department, especially special effects) and you may just have a good time.

OK, lets be objective; this movie is awfully bad... i watched the first two movies of this series although people on this site warned me not to. and i even kinda liked them. but this one? just a waste of time!i think the director or whatever said "i've shot the first two movies, why not make it a trilogy?" he then probably went to a pub and announced that he was making a movie and asked for volunteers to take part in it and they didn't have to have any kind of acting skills and everybody acted as they wanted to because they didn't have a screenplay...there are so many blanks in the story and after almost every move of Justine, you can't help asking "Why would she?" if you wanna watch this movie and if you care what other people think; take my advice: Run to the hills! Go like the wind! See the first two movies but save yourself from seeing this stuff!!!

Have you ever watched a teen-girl drama TV show where the cute blonde stuck-up preppy princess-turned-anti-conformist gets rejected by her family because of her choice of boyfriend and then rebels against society and everything else? Oh, they don't make shows like that? Thank God. Too bad it slipped through in the theatres.Pulse 3 is like watching Gossip Girl put in a blender with The Matrix and Saw, except it's infinitely more painful. I went between the emotions of: boredom, disgust, hatred and checking to make sure I hadn't nodded off. Yes I know that's not an emotion, but it happened to me repeatedly during this tragedy so I thought it was worth a mention. What kind of movie provides you with a number of camera angles of a woman blowing her head off with a shotgun in grisly detail? THIS ONE!!! I'd like to think that scene served some kind of purpose, but I'll leave it at that. I'd also like to think that one's imagination serves some sort of purpose, but this film won't let me have it. The film seemed to be going somewhere, until the girl runs away, then it's just a scantily-clad drama queen screaming at the top of her lungs because her internet boyfriend won't txt her back. After about the half-hour mark you may as well shut it off. That's where the philosophy turns into fluff. A huge build-up to nothing. Don't waste your time.
