WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

hddu10 There is very little one can say that's good about this film...other than to say "yeah...I guess it's a film?" The acting is laughably bad (they seem to have used any/all characters from John Waters' early works as the standard). The premise is one of a futuristic "big brother" type of doomsday scenario...only the budget is too small for anything other than the occasional CGI effects on monitors to get this point across (wait...that implies there was a point). The man-boy love premise pervasive throughout this film seems more like a NAMBLA recruitment tactic than an actual plot-line. The writer/director/"star" seems to believe anyone cares to see him naked is probably the biggest fantasy in this film. No wait...the second biggest fantasy, since I just read the reviews and there are actually people giving this 10 stars...apparently thinking we don't know they are somehow attached to the film or actors.In sum, unless you too are a creepy old man who fantasizes about scenarios where it could possibly be acceptable to seduce and sleep with the boy next door...just don't watch this.

jlinamen1229 The premise is interesting but don't be fooled. There is nothing to like about this movie. The 'soundtrack' is awful... the script and dialogue is bad and the acting is probably the worst I've ever seen on film.Some movies are so bad they're funny. Not this one. It's just bad, bad, bad.The direction is awful too. A director should be able to make actors look good.... here they just look even more foolish. Not only are the actors not likable in their roles, they sound like third graders reading it for the first time.The story goes from interesting concept to poor execution and ends with a journey to nowhere.

henryshanks I hadn't read any reviews prior to watching it, so I had no expectations to start with.However, if you care for your faith in the human race and do not want to needlessly torture yourself with horrible gay grandfather fetish science-fiction, just watch something else. Why? Oh boy...The STORY if you can even call it that... is of a communist USA (still pretending to be democratic and have a president though) in the year 2029. People go around with chips in their arms, and those who have them removed are outlaws. I'm not sure why the theme sounds extremely familiar.The ACTING... eek. I'd be more believable telling my math teacher that the dog ate my homework for the 20th day in a row. As a highlight, check out the part when Mom and Gran find out Greg's in town. So. Many. Emotions!The DIRECTING... where do I even start? Half of the movie consists of people biking (Greg even does a splendid double-take!) or looking around. I especially liked the part where Greg and Danny stay in bed for 2 minutes.GREG deserves a separate section on his own, for being absolutely the most obnoxious. For one, he goes after his best friend Michael's son. Michael has absolutely no problem with it, by the way (USA, I pity you...). Morals aside, he's just as bad as actor, writer or director. All he did was write himself in a lot of naked scenes with a 20-year-old. If he craves "fresh meat", I'd recommend a different film-making industry. As it is, it's just disgusting. Yes, love transcends, but this is too much.How many people live in that... "town"(?). We see a grand total of SEVEN. Add two working at the train station and one moving boxes, but that still leaves us with less than twenty. I get it that it's low- budget, but they could at least invite their cousins or sisters to walk around in the background.What's the title even about? Ice melting and seawater rising? Really? What does that have to do with... never mind. Baffling? Wait until you hear Gran say something like "We don't own a spade, so we can't have a garden." I used to say "Shut Up and Kiss Me" was pathetic, but after watching "Altitude Falling", I have to admit I was wrong.On its own, the movie is not original in the slightest. Watch 1984 (future societies gone wrong), Milk (age difference), Gattaca (implanted chips/population control), Naked Boys Singing (unabashed nudity) or House of Wax (deserted towns with strange people). Your neurons will be grateful for not sentencing them to death.

TBROUGH It's hard to do low-budget sci-fi. And when I talk low budget, I am talking about an eight day shooting schedule and very small cast (basically, five main players and a small handful of extras). Plus making a premise that doesn't collapse under it's own weight. "Altitude Falling," a modestly created look at the near future, pulls it off, and is director Paul Bright's best film to date.To summate, it's a decade or so into the future. There's a deep recession going on, and an inexplicable war in Venezuela. People have been implanted with tracking chips, which started out as innocent ways to identify and locate people in case of serious emergencies, like accidents or natural disasters. But now the mere act of entering a mini-market ID's you and offers you a targeted special sale item. It also means that, as the war escalates, the government can find you if they need you.The five lives interconnected here are all tied to the chips and how they evolved. Greg Forrster (Bright) has fled his old life to take residence in New Mexico, and Danny's family has come to escape their unemployed status after tidal surges have destroyed their home (the consequences of global warming are where the movie's title come from). One of the more intriguing aspects of "Altitude Falling" is just how easily this future could occur, without any whizz-bang gizmos or vacuously expensive "Avatar" effects. The fiction is subtle, but realistic. "Altitude Falling" is a provocative and enjoyable film.
