Anti Matter

Anti Matter

Sorry but it was not good bad acting, vdeo editing, sound effects.....

I really don't want to insult anyone involved with this film but this was the definition of a waste of time. Misleading poster/cover (I think someone else posted about that), B-grade script/plot/acting, clumsy exposition, terrible cliche/caricature characters.. the list goes on. Do yourself a favour, if you haven't watched Primer yet, watch that instead of this movie and if you have watched Primer, don't waste your time on this.

Definitely watchable, but no science fiction graphics like that in the poster. Like nothing. in fact I was sure the cover was incorrect for the film. Its essentially what I'd expect if I went to a talented artist and said i need a poster made up for a movie, its science & fictional, and called antimatter. And that's it.

I don't have a problem with low budget movies. But they have to have a good plot, twists you don't see coming and and ending that makes some sort of sense. The premise of this film is that a scientist discovers a way to create wormholes to move matter. Her two colleagues work with her to test the wormhole machine and keep it secret so they can patent the process. They test it on marbles, Rubik's cube, plants, worm, mice, cat. Oh gee, what will they feel they need to test it on next? If you can't figure that out and foresee what will happen when one of them is the test subject you must have never watched any sci fi ever. After that the movie relies on the type of plot where no one communicates with anyone else. After boring the audience at the beginning of the movie with all the science behind the wormhole process it has a very unscientific and implausible ending. The worse part is I paid to rent this movie on Amazon, based on Rotten Tomatoes rating and now I feel I can never trust RT again.

If you know too much about science, this movie will fall apart for you. As much as you want to like the characters, and to cheer them on, the lack of real science just destroys the experience. It just rubs me as a waste of potential. The basic concept of this film is not a new one. It addresses the philosophical problem of "teleporting" a person by creating a copy of the traveler at the destination, while simultaneously, destroying the original. What happens if you don't destroy the original? Which traveler is the "real" traveler? This movie attempted novelty by producing this philosophical dilemma in a different way. Sadly, the story writers seemed to go the direction of making up fantasy-science to fit their story. The main character, Ana, is an American chemist who is conducting a physics experiment in a basement at Oxford (strange already). She's a strong independent woman. Her team also consists of what seems to be an engineer, Nate, and an undergrad, Liv. Nate is a caring and nurturing boyfriend to Ana. We find out that Liv wrote a computer virus that infected millions of computers in order to aid their project in some way. All they care about is getting the patents to win prizes and get rich. The characters do way too many things uncharacteristic of "scientists." Overall poor representation of women, science, and women in science. All in all, it could have been a great film.

I'm not writing any serious stuff here just what I felt about the twist and everything. Well, I'm already spent big part of my life watching movies, lately I saw nice movies, okayish movies and the 'whatever ones'. But this thing, although it's probably not the best movie I ever saw (no offense), this piece is already something. You were doing short movies, then this, and Sir, you just made it, twisted my head, gave me bad feelings and a warm surprise which I haven't felt some time ago - you put a real shining star up in the sky. I don't know how soon you some smart Hollywood producer will give you a buzz but I may predict right here that someone want to do a bigger budget movie out of this; I'm pretty sure. Great story, great job, great cinematography, little cracks in the story telling but nothing seriously negative. Do you realize that you are not a student anymore, right? As you got me, I'll keep an eye out for your movies and I can recommend this to anyone who's reading this. One more thing: Yaiza is so cool and did such a decent acting! OF course, Tom and Philippa too but Yaiza was just wooow. So overall verdict for me is an 8 which is more like 9ish but surprise factor is 10.

WOW! This has got to be the best C-grade, fully amateur indie film I have ever seen! Let me start off with the only flaw in this film, and that's the movie poster and tag-line. Very inaccurate and misleading and shocked why it even exists as it is deceiving. Now for everything else. Keir Burrows, novice/amateur writer, director and producer of this film knocked it out of the ballpark! His only experience in film are a handful of short films. He has evolved to greatness with this film that I feel should become a legendary cult classic. This film needs to be submitted for award nominations. Aside from perfect directing and writing/screenplay, the cinematography, score and editing were all outstanding. Even all the actors were on point having little to no experience and if any were primarily from a handful of short films. Anti Matter blows away most of the big Hollywood blockbuster films that have been out lately. It has left me wanting more and I hope they come out with a part 2 very soon. It's a must-see film and a perfect 10/10 (rating as an indie amateur film) from me for an overall outstanding and perfect production.

I had no idea this was a low budget/indie film until I read that it was. Keep in mind there are no high tech CGI gimmicks as far as I can tell and no famous Hollywood actors in it. Still, the film was good, much better than the usual low budget drivel. The acting was really good. The director must have made a choice to not use his limited budget on CGI and that must be a good decision because low budget CGI makes a movie look like low budget. Low budget usually also shows in the props and studio setting that is used. Again, good choices must have been made so that the low budget is hidden. Excellent work. I can only imagine what this crew can do with more $$$. Thanks

I can just suffice to tell you this film has a low-budget/student film feel in all of the movie's aspects (writing, editing, flow), so you'll need have patience with everything as you watch. I guess all positive reviews (e.g. Rotten Tomatoes) seem to keep this in mind but this is not made clear, which has most likely lead to these (in my eyes) problematic recommendations. If you are expecting a mature or commercial film like I was, move on, as I can tell you I went in with that mindset and was quickly bored here.
