The Recall (2017)

This wont be my typical review....There was just a few things I wanted to bring up about reviewers who join IMDb and review one movie, then you never hear from them again. They don't take any polls, they don't rate any movies (or very few)and seemingly it DOES appear that they are biased for one reason or another. This is why I also check the reviewers and watch for those things I just mentioned.

I do have to say tho, that this movie isn't the terrible piece of crap some reviewers are saying, and it isn't the glorious work of art that others are saying either. I just wonder if when some reviewers see that it is rated so high that they try to make up for it by rating very low. Which seems to me, just makes it even more of a big F'ed up mess.

My advice....just be careful when you read the reviews. Use common sense. Anyone that rates it a 10 and glorifies it, check their credentials (how long have they been an IMDb member, how many reviews have they done, have they rated more then 5-10 movies, have they been active (do they take polls> make lists, etc....) Reacting to these "fake" reviews by responding with not fair reviews to try and make up for it is NOT helping. Review honestly and fairly. THAT is the best way to respond.

Now, I have just started this movie, and so haven't had time to form a real strong opinion yet, but I can say, that the acting in this film is NOT bad. I have seen hundreds of B movies, independent movies with some really terrible acting and This is NOT even close to that level of Bad.

So far all I can tell you is that it is not a rated 10 movie some have reported. And it is not a 1,2, or 3 rated that others gave it.

Im a half hour in, and honestly...it's not too bad. Good enough Im sticking with it the rest of the way....(score good, editing appears good...camera work/lighting/cinematography all seem adequate...so whats left, a weak screenplay? OK....maybe..but so far so good in my book) Give it a look see and make up your own mind, and if you review...be honest. Guess that's really the main point I wanted to get across. And that this movie doesn't deserve the very high or the very low reviews.

Fmovies: Please avoid seeing this movie. Nothing but a sub standard production with acting that could not sell turnips in a market. I have no idea how anyone could regard this as anything more than a complete waste of time and bandwidth. The story line is nonsensical and the whole set up looks unconvincing. Its more like a combination of dead man walking and zombies combined.

Well, lots of fake reviews (all those super reviews I checked got only one review... one account rated The Godfather 5 but The Recall a 10...) The Recall got Wesley Snipes in it and that's mostly about it - sadly he has just too little of screen time. The plot is about an alien invasion and some "twist" in the end - a melting pot of recycled ideas. The production quality of the movie is of good TV-scale. I rated The Recall 1 because of all those fake reviews and ratings, my real rate is sth like a 3, in good mood and with a Snipes' bonus a 4, but tbh, I cannot think of anything why I would recommend this movie to someone.

Only recommended for the absolute ultra-die-hard sci-fi nerd and/or Snipes fan who has to watch everything.

The Recall fmovies. Five kids in the cabin in the woods, Wesley Snipes - ex military, survivalist and alien invasion. It is as bad as it gets. It is funny how the first IMDb reviews, all scoring 8-10 points, all raving about the scenario and acting :) clearly fake. Do not waist your time on this. It a very badly acted, ridiculously written story, that maybe, but only maybe, if you're 7 years old you might find it amusing.

I like Snipes, couldn't care less about the rest of the cast, I like Sci-fi, the plot is more of a footnote than a script, it makes little sense and provides a theater for people acting the way they do with no real result. It mixes some suspense, sci-fi, slasher elements, but so little, and it's so bland...people and events come and go, then the movie ends. Entire movie feels like padding. Not boring, but definitely unfulfilling.

Total waste of space, if you look at the reviews on here you can see that they all look the same and giving high marks but most of them have only been members for the las week. Someone is writing this crap on here and trying to nudge this cow pat of a film higher in the ratings. No chance of that if you watch this turd like i did then you are as daft as me.
