a5c7b9f00b A pilot battles to save his family and the planet after an experiment for unlimited energy goes wrong. So, Kill Switch is a movie about a dude who is sent on a mission and the mission goes fubar instead of being home on time for dinner.<br/><br/>The location is very cool, for Europeans it recognizable. Small streets, a lot of cover and knowing that going from point A to point B is never a straight line in Old Europe. <br/><br/>The CGI used is just amazing, it felt very real. <br/><br/>The most interesting part of this movie is the camera shots when the main character is on the mission. It&#39;s POV-Style, he has a full dashboard and clearly he is in a special suit. <br/><br/>The script…Its a little thin. But then again, its not a blockbuster movie. And I think because of the thin script the acting in the beginning of the movie was not that great. I would not say this movie is a game or based on a game. But they used the same way storytelling is used in games, with flashbacks and all. And it worked out great IMHO.<br/><br/>Conclusion: Its a Smart movie, I enjoyed it and not only because I am Dutch and the filming location is very familiar but its the story, how the story is told on the big screen that I liked it so much. There should be more movies like this. OK so I have no one to blame but myself for this. I feel for the trailer in thinking this might be worthwhile. I actually rented it and boy I&#39;m sorry I wasted 5 bucks. I&#39;m only 26 minutes in and I already hate this turd. Where to begin. Wellhas been the top complaint of most reviewers, it the over use of the ridiculous first person shooter style. Not only was is nauseating done, but seemed extremely amateurishwell. I get what the director was trying to do but it really gets annoying after 10 minutes or so. It actually started making me sick to my stomach and giving me a bit of vertigo. And that&#39;s really somethingI&#39;m a recreational pilot for one. I&#39;ve also seen other shaky cam movies I.e., Cloverfield, Blair Witch and a few others. None gave me such a physically unnerving feeling. Next was the tremendously bad acting and writing. The cast couldn&#39;t impart any true emotions or express their personality or even humanity. I just didn&#39;t have any connection to their characters. The scriptequally atrocious in not providing and real storytelling or environment to the film. Everything seemed thrown together and disjointed from scene to scene. There was no setup at the beginning of the film to give the viewer any sense of scope or development to the events. Individual scenes where disjointed and out of place. I also had a tremendous problem with the rather hokey science. As science fiction fans realize, you do have to suspend your disbelief often enough. I mean we&#39;re not expecting to see a scientific documentary, but this thing couldn&#39;t convince a 6 year old any of this were possible. The whole premise for the new energy source was stupid and juvenile. Yes the sfx were decent at times, and others looked like they&#39;d been cooked up on someone&#39;s laptop and thrown in at the last minutea scene filler or to try for the WOW effect. Oh and you me more gripe is this film gave no sense of scale or location. One minute it looks and feel like Europe and the next the US. I also apologize to our friends across the pond but, the European characters accents sounded wooden and annoyingly unemotional. Was this done on purpose to make it seem like the Dutch characters are evil, or just poor acting by the cast? Can tell which but it didn&#39;t matterthe remaining cast did such a horrific job with their roles. Plot holes abound and are so glaringly apparent that the filma whole looks and feels like a bunch of YouTube videos stitched together to make one whole. Didn&#39;t matter in the end anyhowthis one is a major fail. Hopefully someone reads these reviews and saves themselves the headache and their cash. Stay away far away from this dog show. Dan Stevens navigates the film’s literal and thematic alleyways with the same enthusiastic befuddlement that convinced many to soldier through Legion‘s more impenetrable stretches.
