Intersect (2020)

This film had a similar concept to TENET but was not as confusing as TENET, which I appreciated.

The acting left much to be desired, with one notable exception. I was impressed by the acting debut of Jake Lacy, playing the young Abner. His commitment to his role showed through his braces. It was a shame he did not get a larger role in this film. I look forward to his bright career ahead of him whether that takes him to being a sidewalk prophet or an actor.

Fmovies: Boring and bad acting. This movie is a total waste of time. Spend the time watching paint dry instead.

When you watch a movie there are many things we take for granted until you experience something this bad. The premise for the movie is the only reason I have it two stars and the fact that I was able to get though it without turning it off. But, in the interest of full disclosure I did get on the computer during the last 30 minutes to look up a camera lens...

Bad acting Story did not develop well Ending was obviously an afterthought There were times in the sequence of events where you couldn't really gauge the period because they did not differentiate the actors well enough.

It was just bad.

Intersect fmovies. ...Which is the ONLY reason to watch this disappointing wallpaper of a movie! I can only imagine that he just provided audio clips for his role as the voice of the computer system, little realising that his part would be the outstanding performance of the whole movie. Without being disrespectful of the good professor, I have to say that this elevated position in the cast is almost entirely due to the rest of the cast, they being either entirely wooden or entirely "Over the top" in their emotional performances, while Dr Dawkins, calm measured voice reminds us that the rest of the cast are either engaging in "Recreational substances" or coming down from using them! It is my habit to continue watching bad movies until they end, so as to present a rounded view of what was presented. In this case, I lasted one hour into the dreadfully slow progress of the script. At that point, I felt like it had been several hours! I, therefore, took the unusual step (For me) in abandoning the mission. So I'll never find out what happened to the characters. And, the key point is, I didn't care about any of them*! * Well I hope the computer survived! 🙂

There is very little to like about this movie. For one, the tone is all over the place. I turned to my co-watcher about an hour in and expressed my sentiments. "Who is this movie for???"

Because it watches like a Hallmark Channel attempt at horror. Is it a horror movie? Is it a romantic movie? Is it a coming of age movie?

I watched it until the end and I still have absolutely no idea!

Apart from the terrible acting, which has already been covered here in the reviews... it's one of the messiest and laziest scripts I've absorbed in some time. Nothing makes sense... and not in a 'good' Lovecraftian way. It just literally tells no sort of cohesive story.

Maybe it'd be better if I watched while I was high out of my mind, but for the average horror fan.... avoid avoid avoid.

2020 is not a good year for cinema, luckily we have tons of VOD horror to keep us occupied. Most of them are very low-cost and indie, but have something you can save. Intersect is low cost, indie, has probably the worst acting you can find this year, and a writer who half-way saw IT and decided to add a 45mins flashback to the main characters teen years out of order and that adds absolutely nothing to what's happening. This should have been a 10 minutes short. It's 120 mins making one of the worst experiences for a moviegoer of 2020.
