FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

willywants Spoilers! After an accident in his basement, a scientist's household becomes a rain forest that transform all who enter it. Yikes! What a stinker. Rented this despite mixed reviews and wish I hadn't. This film has the distinct honor of being THE only film I've ever seen that actually put me to sleep! Writer/director Rene Daalder's script is occasionally interesting and intelligent, but the high school bully's dialog—my favorite line being; "Yo organs n' skin gonna melt like stew!"—is laughable, and character development is minimal. And there was one really, really troubling line that is unfortunately scared in my mind:"You ever heard of hygiene? Even animals lick themselves clean! I spend a lot of time with my boys in the shower, and I teach them that even body odor isn't just smell: it's bacteria, it's germs!"Wow, that's unsettling. I really, really hope that when Daalder was writing this line, he intended it to be funny, if not, I shutter at what kind of childhood he must have endured! His direction is wildly uneven at best. The film was shot on a High Definition Sony video, giving it a distinctly blurry, ugly look, it felt like watching one of those really bad day-time soap operas.The actors are passable, no one was really awful I suppose, given the material they were working with, but no one gave a truly solid, note-worthy performance either. So, what in this film actually worked? Well for one, the set looks great. Kudos to the production designer Claude Paré for creating a wonderfully disgusting jungle of a set, considering the budget was pretty low and time was probably limited, the set/prop constructors definitely deserve a pat on the back of their work. The visual effects, though obvious and easy to spot, were overall decent; I've seen much, much worse CGI from much bigger-budget films (Resident Evil, anyone?). And then, there's…uh…I guess that's all that really worked in Habitat. Shame. The plot is actually half-decent, with more money this could have been a good sci-fi/horror blend, but alas, it's nothing but your usual direct-to-video fodder. It's boring, stupid, and confusing. Avoid it.1.5/10.

Master_of_My_Domain This movie had some great ideas, but unfortunately the way it was made ... no, it is not boring, but it is not enough entertaining either - remote comes handy at many parts. Reading other comments I noticed with surprise how many people liked Alice Krige's performance. To me it was pathetic and pretentious at best. She plays her role with so much "sweetness" that any normal personal may literally throw up at the end of the movie like after eating few boxes of chocolates and drinking few cans of super-sweetened condensed milk. Both taste great in little doses, overdose end ups with vomits, and so is Alice Krige's performance here. However there is an instant cure for it, kind of vaccine - also contained within this movie as well ;-) Perhaps it is not "performance", I don't dare to call it that much, but lets just say that the extended scenes and closeups of nude Laura Elisabeth Harris, proudly showing off her nice, natural pair of breathing devices - they really made up for the damages done by Krige!(I dont want my post to be taken down in any near future for using anatomically correct - but politically incorrect - words like "bre_st", "ti_s" etc). So: if youre a straight male - rent it! Your eyes will enjoy Harris in her prime. And if youre a female - you may actually Balthazar Getty in his prime, or you may even like Krige's role...My rating: 6/10 (solely for showing Laura Harris' great stuff in this movie).

raketentyp this film is definitely one of my favorite trash thingies around there ... laura harris makes every film, ohhm ... i dunno, strange? such brilliant ideas, so many bad b-grade (gut native-funny) actors and a plot that seems to be born in a great rush of wodka or something... i love this. like i said, one of my favorites. if you like b-movies and in some kind independent, this is just the GODESS! mercié

tath I came across this movie one lazy afternoon on our local cable...I must admit I had to watch the whole thing I couldn't believe it could be so bad! I did like the sets though..because they had that wonderful quality of cardboard..
