Andromeda

IND

Aiden Crawford (Tim Llewellyn) takes pills and attempts to drown himself in a tub every night. He is summoned to NASA to discuss his dead father, who he learns may or not be dead six years after his funeral. His father was an astronaut who had secretly gone to Mars to see if it could be colonized as Earth will someday be uninhabitable for an unstated reason. His father Will Crawford (Paul T. Taylor) invented a device that looks like a 3-D game viewer where a person can transport themselves somewhere else as an unseen hologram, or as a person, I haven't figured that out. Rather than go to the Dallas Cheerleaders change locker, Will finds a habitable planet NB-22 which is in the Andromeda galaxy. Not Andromeda constellation in our Galaxy, but a gazillion miles away in another Galaxy. For some reason some more technological beings in their galaxy don't want us invading their space. Will is able to make weapons and spacecraft out of their technology, apparently a MacGyver on steroids and a welding machine. The outer space stuff seemed CGI. The film was mostly Aiden talking to suits in one room and then his shrink, going home and relaxing in the tub under the water. Good napping material. Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

This movie is a great effort, but falls short in all categories. Interesting premise, albeit popular and unoriginal, I still enjoy sci-fi bombs.. (this was just barely not a bomb.) There is enough to be intrigued, while acting is adequate at best. And take note of the digital graphics: while low level, still fun to observe. It's so funny, because I restarted Mass Effect: Andromeda (PS4) the night before I watched this film. Very similar stuff (including art...) except that Mass Effect had more than 89 minutes and a larger budget to execute something expansive and filled out. If I'm not mistaken - I saw Andromeda 2 may be in the works. If they get another chance, let us hope for a bigger budget.

I have an idea. Hear me out. Let's take a delightful spectacle of a science fiction movie starring one of Hollywood's biggest movie stars in one of his great performances in a movie with stunning visuals and strong familial themes and rip it off with z grade actors and cheap effects from film students wrapped in a story that wants so much to be deep and meaningful but seems like they watched Ad Astra, missed the point entirely and then said we can do this. What could possibly go wrong when amateurs have an idea like this and let it fester into something beyond just an idea? Oh. I know the answer. You get Andromeda. What a joke. Skip it and watch Ad Astra, or anything else, instead.

Acting from agent sharp was amazing, CGI wasn't that great but with a low budget they did well. I enjoyed it. Jeff Hamm did great with the shots he got. From beginning to end the story is pretty solid, idea is solid, the main character needed better carved Acting, with as little budget as they did it with i feel that They managed to tell a pretty decent story. -1 for Bad acting main character -1 for CGI (could have found a better way to do it, i feel) -1 for audio being off in parts -1 for the ending I know how hard it is to make movie so I gave it a quality 6, ive definitely seen worse movies.

Cheap bad imitation movie probably doesn't want you to know that its a ripoff of better things. Not inspired but a bad ripoff with no originality. Misleading poster and movie trailer might have you believing you'll watch something else but even if you have watched the movie trailer you can already tell that it looks like a PS2 game with it's visuals and sounds like a PS1 game with it's bad acting. If you want a cheap scifi movie to watch for some reason then I'm sure you can find it somewhere but not here. IF you want a cheap scifi movie that delivers nothing but boredom bad writing and laughing when not supposed to be funny then watch Andromeda.

Good movie!
