Genesis (2018): Bad acting, bad script, bad effects, bad direction. Gave up on it after 15 minutes. Quotes Paul Brooks: narrating Paul Brooks journal day 518.' It was once said that those suffering from the incapacity to love are living in hell. I often wonder if Dostoevsky wanted to say more, because what I know of hell isn't simply a place where love doesn't exist. Nor is it a place you go when you die. Hell is here, in this facility. In the body and in the mind.' A Zombie Dostoevsky should rise from his grave and eat the 'brains' of anyone associated with this film. On Netflix.

Interesting movie, enjoyed it until I noticed on the President's world map, there is no Republic of Every other country is visible so not just a map if the UK. 1* for your sectarianism.

I like sci-fi movies. This movie is awful. The acting is so bad. The actors talk to each other as though they are remembering lines on a stage play. They just stand around in groups motionless, trying to remember whose line is next. They deliver the script as though they are giving witness testimony in a court-room. There is tons and tons of pointless filler waffle in the script that is irrelivent. The world is supposed to have ended but we are treated only to over-lit interior shots of what looks like the basement of an industrial unit that was rented out on the cheap. We get some outside shots but they are limited in scope. A few rusted out cars in a forest in winter. Besides that, the rest is basically the same 3 sets recycled over and over again. This needn't be a issue, if it were not for all the other flaws in this horrible turd of a movie. For example, 'Cube' movie I believe had only one set, but was very good. High-tech interior room with computer screens: check grungy looking lower level with desperate looking spray-painted monikers on corrugated iron: check generic storage room A with shelves of random items: check Apparently there are only 100 or so humans left alive, but instead of sending out flying drones that use radio control to look for people, they have people go out in hazard suits to encounter clouds of toxic gas that apparently can melt through plastic, but that leave trees and grass untouched. they somehow have the resources and technology to create a perfect looking human artificial intelligence, who is going to encounter all kinds of dull, plodding artificial intelligence-y problems, yet food is running out and everything else is going wrong / in limited supply. Obviously, the robot is going to go nuts and start making decisions like "lets kill all the humans" because that has never happened before in any movie. And why did the robot look human? There was no need to go to so much effort to make the robot look human besides "its cheaper for the production this way". The thing that really killed this movie though was the music. Every minute of the movie was punctuated by very generic and inappropriate music. Something high stakes happening? play "dramatic orchestral music B". People in the technology room? play "cyber hackers doing cyber hacking music A" People wandering around in the wasteland? play "danger ahead! trepidation music C" Bad robot coming to attack? play "orchestral action score with inception horns" at 500% volume for 5 minutes without stop. Who cares if it drowns out the conversation. I've never seen music so over-used in any movie before, to such poor effect, perhaps in a vain hope to mask the crappy acting and dull, plodding script.

It's not good. It's low budget but that doesn't explain the nonsensical story at all.
