I love this movie so much

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Intriguing, so I stayed with it, but pretty much unintelligible storyline interspersed with slightly lame fight sequences. By the end, you might think, was it worth staying with? Noel Clarke the actor can't complain, cos he directed and co wrote it.

On the hunt for movies, I haven't seen yet - I came across some more unique ones- The Anomaly was one of them.The plot is interesting. It is a roller-coaster at first, and this is very likable. Though at the beginning, the movie suffers from pretty bad fighting scenes - it is not so much the fighting style, it is more continuous slow motions in really wrong timings. It is almost as the director just watched 300 and wanted to try out the technique. Not a so good idea (I have enjoyed 300 very much - however due to the epic format and better timings, the slow motions worked there far better). The fighting itself is not, what you see in blockbusters - though that doesn't mean that it is not good... I feel even more involved, as it is not extremely exaggerated. Yes - they could have done a better job - but it is definitely not one of the weaknesses of the movie.Kudos to the overall design. The flick has a futuristic look, (again) without being exaggerated and stupid. In this subject, I like the film more than a lot of Hollywood productions.Acting is adequate. Not that an A-list actor couldn't have brought more into it - but again, pretty much all actors are doing a quite good job and are believaable.Besides of the overdone slow-motions (which happen to occur less and less towards the end) - it is especially some inconsistencies in the storyboard which hurts though the believability. The main character has episodes of only 9min and 41sec (or so...) - to be himself in his body, however the actions what he does in every "episode" are far longer - often, it feels, that even the real time (oppose to the movie time) takes longer than 9 min - despite that some things (like bypassing a bigger area) are obviously not shown. You just start to wonder more and more... and basically it is not understandable - why did they just changed the length of the episode timings? Ah - yeah - the fixed time period as well is strange - it is explained that these episodes anyway happening, due to the uncommon frequent solar storms which disturb the signal of a satellite - though why does it then take exactly 10 minutes - are Solar storms always 9 min and 41 sec long. There are further inexplicable story points... Overall it is a good weekday film, which you can definitely enjoy. It is not a masterpiece - though some parts are so well done, that I wouldn't even consider it as B movie...

It's an Anomaly alright. I do like the idea behind this (though it's not entirely new and fresh, it's a nice take), but it gets muddled throughout. The "science" behind it seems to have quite a few gaps (no pun intended). Noel Clarke seems to want to much at once. The almost 10 minutes thing is a nice touch, but it doesn't work out always (not sure if they ever planned on having all the sections running the exact time window they establish, might have been interesting and very challenging).Whatever the case, a couple of things do not seem to work (like planting and seeding, "What else is there to do? - actually a couple of things, like re-writing the script or at least re-defining it). It works almost as it is, but there could be more, even without explanations (or longer/shorter time frames here and there). Not to mention location findings and such ... Could've been worse, could've been better - coincidences aside

First of all: This is not Matrix and it hasn't quite near the budget. But! that doesn't matter! It's a very well-done Sci-Fi-Movie with a really cool story. In the first part you're like what the hell is going on. I was really surprised how purely this movie is rated in this data base. So i read some Reviews from users who said it is about average and the main critic they have is poor acting and poor fights. I can't agree. The fight-style is somewhat strange street-fighting, but absolutely OK. The actors are good. And the story is awesome. Yeah, there might be a time near the end of the movie when i thought OK now we could make a better step, but overall "The Anomaly" is pretty good. It's much like Matrix, but more atmosphere like in Equilibrium. Both movies are better than this one but slightly. You have to see that this is still a low-budget film and for that it's great! Don't expect perfection, but i absolutely enjoyed this Sci-Fi-Puzzle!
