LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

CousinBagunca ACTING 4/10 : Generic acting for the genre with way too much accent impersonation which leads to lack of credibility.SOUNDTRACK 5/10 : Nothing memorable.SPECIAL EFFECTS 8/10 : Simple and downright good. Everything is kept practical and clean. Camera work is great and visuals are fantastic. Some pet peeve of mine includes that over the top light in the trees. Not so sure about that.PLOT 7/10 : Straightforward. Nothing new on dealing with weird bunkers in the middle of nowhere. You're drawn into the plot, but then you realize it's a kinda funny idea that might draw out the horror aspect of the movie; although I was interested enought to see where they would head with it. Sadly, I think the ending was way generic and overused in the genre.OVERALL 6/10 : Outpost (2008) adds a new entry into the old mix of movies about people digging in on something that should never be seen again, specially if involves being underground. It's a rather overused idea that works just fine. If you can tolerate some acting flaws, I'd say it's a nice B-horror flick.

bowmanblue Okay, so 'perfect' is probably not a term that should be used to describe a film about ghost-Nazis stalking a team of mercenaries in the wastelands of Eastern Europe, but, for what it is, 'Outpost' is a pretty damn good film.Hopefully, if you've fully digested my first paragraph about the ghost-Nazis (or zombie-Nazis – take your pick) you won't be expecting a deep and intellectual film, filled with emotional depth and fulfilling character arcs and plot twists. So, if you're looking for a damn tense (and pretty creepy) little story, with decent action scenes and characters you may actually care about, then try this.Outpost is a B-movie. It never really tries to be anything else. It doesn't have much of a budget, but what it does have it uses well.So, if you like your action/war/horror movies short and to the point, you really could do worse than to watch Outpost (just don't get it confused with any of the – very inferior – sequels!http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

homemdometal This movie starts off in a not-so-bad way. But then it proceeds to drag itself. It wastes time with needless junk. Waste of tape.The first half hour of the movie could be summarized, faster and more entertaining. Instead it just shows(...) ***SPOILER ALERT!*** (...)a bunch of mercenaries inside a bunker with their contractor. They find a pile of dead men in a room, the machine the contractor was looking for...that's about it. And this is done in very boring way: like a 13 year-old presenting a powerpoint. ***END OF SPOILER***After that half hour I tried to watch more ten minutes but it was impossible, my interest was dead. For a movie that is in the categories of Action, Horror and Sci-Fi there isn't any or very little of that. "OH MY GAWD! IT'S DARK! AHH!"***SPOILER ALERT!*** And those mercenaries are very bad at what they do. Since the bunker is in a location that is a "tactical nightmare" they stand guard right outside of it? Genius. (Why would a bunker be in such a location in the first place? But I can tolerate that.) And shooting blindly must be a requirement, I bet they're children will be stormtroopers someday. I guess hidding one or two MoFos outside to guard/scout/surveil the area is a bad idea after all. Totally wouldn't work. ***END OF SPOILER***

fedor8 For some reason the producers were weary of spelling out the location of the plot, namely Kosovo, so they just went with a somewhat vague "Eastern Europe" caption. Nevertheless, they soon threw in a few words and sentences in Serbo-Croatian (yes, it's one common language, not two separate ones), just to make sure that Balkan viewers know (or to make it more real).The word "genocide" was mentioned early on, before Nazis became a key part of the story, so I can imagine quite a few Serb viewers starting to get paranoid about the implications. But if it's any comfort to them, it is never specified whose corpses those might be (later on we find out they're Nazi bodies), so the Serb viewers can feel free to assume that an Albanian massacre of Serbs was being implied, and the Albanian viewers can assume the reverse. That way everybody is happy, i.e. nationalist self-righteous paranoia on both sides is quashed, or at least tamed.There is also mention of Al Einstein, in one of the movie's attempts to lend the movie's "science" a whiff of credibility. (Fat chance, of course.) It was sort of implied that the Grand Unified Theory of Everything, the Holy Grail of Physics, eludes scientists to this day mostly because Einstein had abandoned it, "after he saw the testing of the first atomic bomb". Well, first of all, Einstein had never given up on that theory. And secondly, he wouldn't have found an answer to it if he lived for another 100 years. He wasn't even close. The suggestion that the world of physics (still) cannot cope with the death of Einstein is a ludicrous one, almost as silly as the belief (among most "civilians") that Stephen Hawking is the greatest living physicist today. He isn't even in the top 10."Outpost" is a well-made action horror film that avoids boredom or annoying moments of cinematic malarkey (an affliction to be found in the majority of modern films, regardless of genre or subject matter). It sticks to its own rules, i.e. doesn't make any Earth-shatteringly idiotic breaches of (its own) logic.The downside is the visual quality and the ending. The movie looks like someone had spilled old milk all over it. It seems to contain less colour than a 30s black-&-white flick. Is that what they consider lends the events more realism? What nonsense. All it does is make the movie less fun to watch. The over-use of these depression-inducing camera filters in recent years is starting to become a real nuisance. Movies are either brown, or all-blue, or entirely green. More natural colours, people! Or at least mix it up a bit.The ending is simply too banal. The mercenaries get bumped off one by one, until none are left, and then the new batch of Nazi-fodder arrive, who presumably also get all slaughtered. I would have wished a more imaginative conclusion, perhaps with a twist or two, or if not that then at least a more ambiguous ending, because this ending is only fit for some cheap horror TV-show anthology series, not a release for the big screens.
