Fast Color

This would have been a great 50 minute episode of The Twilight Zone, but as many of the reviews here say, it drags in middle. Good acting, nice FX, but not enough of a story to carry the running time.

What we have here is good story-telling. It is as simple as that. Add people who possess powers, hidden secrets, and the lure of what those powers are and what they can do. The movie may cause you to ask what would you do with these powers? Before you boast a perfect answer everything comes with a hitch in life. So you may use these powers but at what cost? Will others just stand still while they watch you do what you do? The old "what's in it for me" kicks in and that is why the premise of secret powers is so powerful. People with them hide them. Superman and his alternate Clark Kent is a good example as is Batman and Bruce Wayne and Spiderman with Peter Parker. Powers have a way of their own and learning to live with them and by them is not so easy. Of course you will say no problem and let me have them. Well, watch the movie then. Also pay attention to whatever is happening in this movie as it can be controlled or corrected and at some point this may dawn on you or not. There was a Twilight Zone about a boy with powers to do most anything which this story may stir up in your memory. The kid was a brat however and in the remake not so much or at least reachable. Here those with the power are still learning but hiding as they do. Interesting concept. It does entertain however

I would have been surprised NOT to see David Strathairn, as this unique story fits him perfectly. Although Julia Hart is inexperienced as a writer and director, the same can not be said for Jordan Horowitz-and I was expecting a lot more than what we received. The screenplay is pretty much half-baked and needed to stay in the oven a little bit longer. There are many moments in Fast Color that were just not thought out all the way, leaving the viewer bewildered as to how and when and why things come about within the film. The ending was a complete disappointment-again, this is a screenplay that was not put to the test before going to production.

Waste of time... you could watch so much better films instead of this so called fantasy and mystery

Fast Colour film is for me, a very difficult one to write a review because I don't even know how to review. So, I only write as much as I know. The film is very different from those films I've normally seen. Mostly because I don't quite understand it's concept. I get that she has the ability that normal people don't have. And for those other people who have those abilities, those all are very different from one another. It's like mutants' abilities from X-Men film. What I don't get is that what it does have to do with the colours? If they could've done a simple thing like they have abilities to do very different awesome things, it might turn out to be a fine film. But when they've mixed with colours thing, it sort of becomes very confusing state. I guess they want it to be different from X-Men, so, they've added that unnecessary colour thing. I found it the film was somehow so boring. I was about to fall asleep when I watched it. Maybe because I was feeling sleepy. 😂 That's the reason why this film couldn't keep me awake. 😁 All those talking is so dull. And also the screenplay is not that much good. I think they should've improved somehow to make it colourful. Talking about screenplay, I should also mention that the end part is quite ridiculous. I mean they are catching them (the ones with abilities) because the world is ending. As much as I understand the story, the reason is no rain in that region. So, no water and they can't plant anything. Hence, the world is ending. It leads to the state where they are trying to find a way to save it. In the end scene, they got the rain. So, what's the benefit of detaining Bo? If they afraid they wouldn't get rain at the later time, they could've make some agreement with them. They don't really need to capture anyone. That's why I said it's quite ridiculous. The acting is quite fine. But the score is very loud. I had to adjust the volume level all the time. It's really annoying. That being said, the score is very harmony to the film. I give you that. All in all, it might be very good film to enjoy for you. But for me is that it's a boring, somehow ridiculous and the plot is too simple. If they could add some awesome things and make it less boring, yeah, this film will turn out to be a fine one.

Film yang bagus!

I love the main actor, actually all the main characters. Something felt like it was missing. The 'baddies' were somehow made redundant. Why were they chasing the her? The first scene baffled me. She exhibited powers to escape from what? Or who? In some way the plot felt the wrong way around. It was enjoyable but not great. Worth a watch.

How many movies are out there showcasing super human powers such as earthquake style shaking; levitating of objects; causing things (e.g. bowls, guns) to CGI dematerialize into swirling ashy stuff? Too many to count quickly, but probably in the 100s. But, there was added the ability, w/good concentration, to cause the aforementioned ashy stuff to molecularly reformulate into an object again. Dumb, pointless CGI of rainbow style colors in the sky. OK, most middle school watchers were shouting out guffaws at all the aforementioned. As usual, we have the usual scientist/government/other unknown baddies out to capture & utilize all those abilities. Despite the absurd impossibility of all those superpowers we are given some vague middle school level science that it was all inherited. How, who knows! Finally, robotic acting & low IQ dialogue.

I did not find this movie slow at all and I thought the movie told the story really well. It is not a Marvel movie or an action movie, it has so much character and the situation of what is going on is implied, not spelled out. I really enjoyed it and I really hope there is a sequel.
