CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Masquerade_Ball SOS is a nerdy, absurdist comedy. I had the impression the writers were fans of Douglas Adams' "Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe" there are plenty of silly one liners scattered throughout the story along with some dry humour. I personally never had any real laugh out loud moments but a few giggles to myself. The style of humour is definitely closer in style to the Nick Frost/Simon Pegg "Cornetto Trilogy" movies than that of the American "Epic Movie" or "Scary Movie". I'd say SOS was better than any of the "Movie" movies, but definitely not as good as "Shaun of the Dead".This movie had a low budget and it was apparent with the level of special effects: think "indie film" rather than "Star Wars" or even "SyFy channel" here. That being said, the video, sound, and direction were all well done - this didn't look or sound like a youtube amateur project, it just suffered from low budget visual effects and props, but that can be forgivable in a comedy.The plot isn't particularly engaging, it really plays out as just a series of acts. I actually watched this as a 4 part mini-series of 20 minute episodes and not as a full length movie. It seemed to suit that format better in my opinion. The pacing was a bit slow in parts, but didn't feel too stretched out. Overall, it's a simple plot, some silly gags, low budget effects, and a bit of a "meh" ending. SOS isn't a movie I'd recommend unless you can see past the cheap visuals, or you can appreciate the nerdy humour. SOS is not a bad movie, it's just not a particularly good one.

gavin6942 Two hapless British geeks wake up in New York City only to find that the entire human race has vanished. But as they explore the seemingly empty world before them, Ben and Stephen soon realize they are not alone after all.The worst thing about this movie is the terrible title. Geez, who came up with that? It sounds stupid, and would scare me off if I was wandering through a video store. This is actually a rather fun movie.We get a nice geek quote early on: "This is like 'I Am Legend'. Maybe we'll meet Will Smith and can ask him why he made 'After Earth'." And then a bit later: "They shouldn't have monsters in a 3-star hotel. We should leave a comment on their website." And that goes on for another hour.There will be an inevitable comparison to "Shaun of the Dead", as this is two bumbling Brits at the end of the world. And, sure enough, fans of one will be fans of the other. This is not as good, of course, but not terrible either. Definitely worth picking up.

taylorj41 I watched Birdemic and it was bad, but funny bad. This was a total waste of 80 some minutes of my (and my teenaged son's) lives. Really awful, stayed with it expecting it to get somewhere and went from sort of OK, until they left NY and then it went into the "tank". No explanation for the "cannibal" old man in NY and not a lot of info on the "redneck". Also, if they were going to "leave" the morons on earth, there would have been a lot more people around. The ending was the WORST. The blue monster was absurd, "Andrew" left so much to desire as an alien and special effects were terrible. "Kill" was the best part in her efforts. Do not bother watching this stinker, sorry.

igor bosnjak this one took me by surprise.. its really fun and a lot is going on all the time, its never dull and always has some new surprises..the sense of isolation the whole atmosphere is done very well only downside is that it suffers from low quality image, obviously, because its low budget but thats not even a bad thing because it adds something genuine and after the first 5 minutes you'll forget about all that.i would even go as far to say its one of the best 'all alone on earth' movies there is .. i really want to see more from the people who made this and i hope its low budget and funny as this.give this one a chance you wont be disappointed.
