Andron (2015) Movie Reviews
With a quick glance at the cast list, immediately its obvious the film is going to fail. The name Alec Baldwin jumps out and makes me quench at the thought of watching. I've yet to see a film with Alec Baldwin that has not failed when there was not a stronger cast to compensate for Alec Baldwins poor acting ability.
I thought I would give the movie a watch anyway, give it the benefit of the doubt as I'm not as familiar with the other cast members film history. And surely my expectations were met. While the majority of the cast had acting ability far surpassing Alec Baldwins, it was not enough to bring this movie out of the landfill.
While I'm often a fan of most "Utopia" "One World" Dystopian films, this one fell short. Nothing original about this film made it stand out from the many films in its category. And it certainly falls in last place.
Another film that could have been good if the cast was better thought out. The cast makes the film. If you can't believe the emotions; fear, anger, lust, etc of the person you are watching its ruins the whole experience.
This is one a a few movies coming out along the "virtual gamer" perspective like "The Call Up" and "Hardcore Henry" with exception that Hardcore is first person view. Reminds me a bit of "THX1138" by Lucas where the future is "controlled" and the humans are underground. This one could have been done much better, but its not awful bad. no gratuitous sex or needless cursing throughout which at the least makes it enjoyable to watch with others less sensitive to that kind of thing. Grab some popcorn and enjoy the flick for what it is. I give it a five for "idea" with potential to create more different versions and or sequels.
I hope that more "Labyrinth" style movies come out. Would be cool to see a movie dedicated to the old "Texas Instruments Tunnels Of Doom" game only upgraded to fine CGI and a 10 level shifting dungeon like Escher would create with upgraded monsters along the same plot of saving the king and the orb and getting back out alive within the time limit...Hint Hint. It is too bad that the newer directors these days just cant seem to get it "right". Where are all the good writers??
