Captivating movie !

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I hate spiders. I mean, I really hate them. When I saw that a film called "The Web" had been accepted for the ELAIFF, I was worried. If the film had spiders, I would probably walk out and not be able to see any of the other films. I still have nightmares about Charlotte's Web.But enough about spiders. Don't you just hate the way spiders walk? It's like all eight legs are controlled by a different brain. There's no coordination between them at all. And their eyes! Are you serious? What kind of a God allows such an abomination to exist, let alone create it. So, the bottom line is, there are NO spiders in "The Web". None.10/10

A "no-frills, lots-of-thrills" film. WEB might as well stand for "Well Executed Biography". Tells the story of Johnny Depp, the hacker, saving world from an asteroid set on a path for earth due to a critical error made by Bill Gates.The kissing scene was breathtaking. Unfortunately, it didn't win an official award, but it officially awarded my heart with some lovely emotions."Move over Charlotte, there's a new web in town" -Roger Ebert, Circa 2013

"The Web" is a 3-minute live action short film from 2013, so this one will have its 5th anniversary next year. Writer, director and lead actor is Nathan Fielder from Nathan for You, but honestly the character he portrays in this film adds absolutely nothing story-wise. The plot is about Bill Gates messing around too much with his programs and the consequence is a huge asteroid being on its course to destroy Planet Earth. But luckily, Bruce Willis is not needed this time as a Johnny Depp look-alike has great PC skills too. I would say it is a transcendence reference, but this one here came out a year earlier actually. The only question who stayed up in the air for me eventually was why this got made. Comedy is the only genre this film aspires to be something in and it was not particularly funny. Even at 3 minutes a waste of time mostly and honestly everybody in here added more than Fielder did, especially the (sadly uncredited) cute ginger girl early on. Overall a thumbs-down from me for this short. Don't watch.

My girlfriend often says the main problem with Hollywood (among many) is that it seems to have a skill to bury interesting thoughts. Screenplay writers, directors, and producers base their films on fresh and intriguing ideas; however, by the end of almost any modern movie, they become completely exhausted and the audience can always predict the finale.The atmosphere of the film is impressing, especially in the beginning, when it shocks viewers with its novelty. Action scenes, due to the use of illusionists' tricks, also look impressive. But closer to the middle of the movie the tension weakens, and then simply fades away. The creators of "The Web" managed to intrigue the audience, but failed to sustain it; the finale was predictable.
