Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
Platypuschow Paradox Alice (Originally titled The Serpent, The Prophet And The Angel) is a very unusual scifi effort.It tells the story of a world stricken with a lack of clean drinking water to an extent where wars are breaking out globally because of it. A ship manned by 4 people is on a desperate mission to acquire water from space and are on their way back. On route however (No spoilers here) a very unusual event transpires that changes everything and possibly the entire fate of humanity.The "Thing" in question is very original and quite well thought through, sadly it makes for some very uncomfortable viewing.Now recently I was debating a very bizzare point in the movie industry. According to statistics around 80% of Americans identify themselves as Christian, so why is it that almost everytime A Christian is shown in a movie they are a dangerous, unhinged and/or "Wacky"? You'd think that wouldn't be the case.This movie is a perfect example. We have a devout Christian, a young man who begins obnoxious and escalates to highly dangerous and arguably the movies antagonist. He even quotes Leviticus, part of which is "'Anyone who curses their God will be held responsible; anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord is to be put to death". Now this frustrates me because people instantly slate the Quran claiming its full statements that tell it's followers to be violent and kill unbelievers while wearing lead blinkers that prevent them from acknowledging that the bible does as well.I've gone off on a tangent, my apologies. Bottom line is religious antagonists are a double edged blade. They are bad guys you want to see defeated but at the same time are far too relatable as you don't need to go far to find one in the real world.Paradox Alice has some great ideas but too much is badly flawed. Credit to the cast, credit to the filmmakers but it's one of those films that really gets under your skin more than was intended.The Good:Some great ideasLooks goodHas a certain charm to itDetestable antagonistThe Bad:That Christian kid needed dropkicking into space from the outsetPremise has some weirdly uncomfortable momentsFinale was a let downThings I Learnt From This Movie:Christian logic "If I'm a good person then God will protect me" also Christian logic "The entire earth has been destroyed and everyone is dead, god has a plan"I don't understand why stunt boobs are a thing
Dan Petrovic I literally joined IMDb just so I can warn others about this garbage.I've seen high school projects done better than this video.It's so bad it's not funny, it's offensive.1. Laughable CGI: I've seen better work done by film students.2. Poor storyline: It baffles me that somebody actually followed through and made this into a movie.3. Weak characters: Actors are OK. But character development is unbelievably weak.4. No science whatsoever: This is not science fiction. Maybe fantasy. There are absolutely touching points with science. Example: Nukes cause the Earth to completely disappear.5. Confused religious messages: Unnecessary and pathetic.6. Ridiculous ending
brett buell Paradox Alice one of the deepest movies I've seen, and the writing is excellent. It reminds me of "No Exit" the Existential literary work of Jean-Paul Sartre. The characters are complex depiction of religious zealotry in a high-tech future is brilliant.The movie is written and produced by some people who work in Hollywood who decided to get together and just do a movie on their own. It's atypical of Hollywood cookie-cutter formulatic story lines. This movie isn't for everyone. The themes are mature, but well-done in an apocalyptic setting. While it's not chock full of exploding aliens and other such effects, the cinematics are strong and the writing really makes this movie. It kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish.
brendan-821-654855 Um yeah, where to start...Terrible actingHorrific script ("the guy's got an ego the size of a pork sausage" - whoever wrote that line does realize that pork sausages are quite small, right?!) CGI that looks like it came from an early 90's kids TV show Clichéd concepts stolen from every other sci-fi film you've ever seenA spaceship on an important earth-saving mission that has less crew than a domestic airline flight (4 in total!) A comically bad set - there's wooden shelves in the cockpit! A soundtrack that won't be selling a single track on iTunesMy advice: avoid this B grade mess at all costs, or alternately, get a couple of friends together for a few drinks and then laugh your way through this cringe-worthy debacle.
