Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

chearn-09739 This is a nice little slab of weirdness. Not the best acting, although not bad either. Odd storyline. Fairly low budget. But there are some interesting ideas, and I love the aesthetics of it. A challenging mix of sci-fi, classic war film, horror and psychological drama. No, not great, but it kept my interest until the end and I was glad to have seen it.

Son-of-WRA Awful doesn't begin to describe the premise of the film, nor its execution. I have seen better films at drive-ins which filled in the time before the main picture. Honestly, there is no plot to speak of except to say someone plotted to make a movie and failed miserably. I didn't mind being held in suspense, but the entire length of the movie hid any semblance of a story or moral dilemma. I also don't need to have things laid out 1,2,3 for me, but there is no cohesion of scenes to get a point across. In other words, the story gets stuck in neutral at the starting line and remains there to the end. The one positive would be if cinematic schools used this one to illustrate how "not" to make a film. Unless your goal is to see every movie ever made, skip this one. This actually makes "Starship Troopers 2" watchable.

adrossan I didn't mind this movie, despite the negative reviews elsewhere.It's not for everyone, I'll agree with that.3 British soldiers are posted to a wire-listening post in the Arctic, and as nothing much happens boredom and madness are never far away.A psychotropic weapon is dropped nearby, and the men (in particular Grant) start showing aberrant behaviour.He suffers from the handy-Andies, which many psychotics do, as it is a massive mental & tension relief process used by psychopaths as well.The story revolves around how each of the three men, and the class system from they came, recognise and deal with the mind-altering substance that eventually controls their every waking moment.This film requires a working knowledge of the British class-system, WW1, Korea and Vietnam psy-ops, and a smattering of modern military history, as well as a working knowledge of abnormal psychology.Although I wouldn't add it to my collection, I did enjoy watching Outpost 11 and how "the madness" crept further into the daily operations of Outpost 11.

pattypattydang I love alternate histories and this film started with a very cool premise. The second 100 years war has raged on into the current year, 1955. There is a stalemate between the British and Prussian forces that has lasted for decades. Far from the front lines and deep into the Arctic Circle, an isolated British Outpost intercepts enemy transmissions and works on forbidden science. How cool is that for a hook? Oh yeah, everything is steam driven in this reality so, hey, I figured some nifty steam punk stuff...nope.I'm far from an expert, but the film seems fairly well produced (other than one completely lame animatronic like spider that looks like a fugitive from a 60s Sinbad movie) and is visually appealing. The characters are stock clichés for the most part but still, the film spends most of its time trying to build characterization. Granted this does keep the budget low, and the plot is about a slow descent into madness due to some sort of physic attack presumably from the Prussians, but overall it drags up to the last few minutes where it fails to deliver any punch at all.In the first part of the film, there is a feeling of anticipation and the suspense that comes along with it, but that slowly morphs into just plain tediousness. This tediousness continues at a slightly increasing pace until it impacts into a puzzling conclusion. Lots of gaps and holes along the way. I can't really say that this film was a waste of my time, but it was not time well spent either...and I'm pretty easy to please.
