The KAOS Brief

Good movie!

source: The KAOS Brief

Could have been a halfway decent FF piece, but several early mistakes ruined it. 1. The lead is terrible. Plain out terrible and a Hollywood gay stereotype. Sad and disgusting portrayal. 2. The lead is just terrible. 3. Nobody ever says each other's name. Just babe or dude. 4. The lead is just terrible and annoying. 5. All these 20 something's have unlimited cash but only one seems to work. Is this why we are forgiving student loans? Because they don't use them for school. 6. The lead is just terrible. Shallow, vapid, effeminate, pouty, just a terrible human. 7. The lead is just terrible.

I feel like I've lost brain cells by watching this preposterous crap. There is nothing- and I DO mean nothing - about this mess that is even worth discussing. I would like the 76 minutes of my life back that I wasted on this garbage.

The idea of an alien encounter found footage is an interesting one but I think they could have done a lot better. Not sure if it was the script or the acting but they were definitely lacking.

It's decent. I never submit reviews, so that's something.

What a generic bunch of uninteresting characters. Fraternal twins skylar and whatever her name was go camping with their boyfriends (skylar is a boy and gay and performs it as stereotypical as possible). They see some lights at night in the sky and the next day rocks are formed outside their tents. They go home and that night sky gets some texts on his computer and the trash cans are piled the same way the rocks were. Men in black start camping outside their house each night claiming they want to talk. The two boyfriends find something implanted in them and the twins have weird marks on them. Stranger things continue to happen including light shows and memory loss. Eventually a tape is found in the basement and apparently the twins had encountered this before when they were around 5. Movie ends with the black guy being shot, the other bf disappearing, and the twins dying. Everything was so bland I wanted to kill myself for turning this on. No performance was believable. Throwing in the parents was random and odd. Nothing was explained.

The kaos brief is a found footage movie dealing with extraterrestrials. The acting wasn't terrible but the writing was..the problem I have with it is the whole premise of aliens or (men in black with unusual fedoras) just want the footage from skylars YouTube channel down and that's why they're agitated. Are you gonna tell me that aliens who are technologically superior travel lightyears away to our planet and they can't even get a YouTube channel taken down; furthermore that our government couldn't just easily delete stuff from their harddrive from miles away. I know it's just a movie but they could of done a lot better. Another example of a movie that could of been better but didn't take the time polishing the story.

Four teenagers; twin brother and sister Skylar and Dakota and their partners, go on a weekend campout so our protaginist, Skylar (an avid Youtuber), can do a vlog. They see UFOs and Skylar uploads the video to his channel. Almost immediately, he's contacted by someone named Indrid Cold who tries to warn him off about posting such things. Clearly someone watched the X-files. Here comes the surveillance, men in black, lost time, that thing where a character stands still watching the others sleep for long periods of time and the discovery of items implanted just below the skin. And more.... At some point, we learn the kids have JUST turned 17 and I wish the filmmakers would have chosen 18. The actors are clearly not teenagers. We hear Skylar and his boyfriend talk about making a sex tape together more than once. So, yeah...18 would have been a tad better, less cringy. The one cool thing is how the name Indrid Cold is just dropped on us. If you know the reference, that's fun. The plot becomes ridiculous. I had hope but ended up shaking my head whilst muttering, "Really?"

This was a great film with surprises... Acting good and story interesting.
