Well worth a watch on a rainy night
sexykingoftheworld2 May 2001
The clever plot with an original idea of the theory of time tells the story of one young man's quest for the answer to life's big questions. It's filled with twist after twist, tension, excitement and a little sadness too. Although this is classed as a sci-fi I think it has a larger appeal than to just sci-fi fans. It takes about 10 or 15 mins for the pace to pick up, but it's worth enduring. I genuinely think that if it had some big names starring, and a little more budget spent on special effects then it would have been a good success at the box office. However, the actors do a pretty good job anyway, accompanied by a wonderful music score which adds to the tension, drama and excitement of a film worthy of a 7/10 in my books.

Misleading advertising on handling time!!!
elo-equipamentos20 April 2019
Do you know that DVD's cover that has a fabulous desert landscape and an alien face suggesting a great entertainment to see including the title L.I.N.X ??? Well this one fits adequately, when I'd arrived at my home l did pick up this auspicious picture and starts to watch, nearby twenty minutes l realize that it means a careless production, the plot has a lack of credibility, if made skillfully may should be more acceptable, to getting worst the sound stages summarize in some hired computer center and basement of some building with large air vent and cooler plant, the alien artifacts that could handling time are a sort of puzzle that the main character taking an overlong time to fit together, the unknown casting there isn't a single woman for a change, no alien on sight neither, beware of mileading advertising!!!

Resume: First watch: 2005 / How many: 2 / Source: DVD / Rating: 5

I Was Induced to Buy and See This Crap Due to the Ilogical IMDb User Rating
claudio_carvalho19 March 2005
This horrible action – sci-fi movie is a crap. I have just spent 90 minutes of my life watching one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The story does not make any sense, there are lots of flaws in the screenplay, the characters are badly developed, the unknown cast is horrible, the lead ham actor seems to be too old for his role. I was induced to buy this VHS, which has a magnificent cover, and see this crap due to the illogical IMDb User Rating and some "ten stars" reviews. I have just checked the authors, and each one of them has just one short review (of "L.I.N.X.") issued in IMDb, and nothing else. Why are they promoting such a garbage? My vote is one.

Title (Brazil): "L.I.N.X. Conexão Letal" ("L.I.N.X. Lethal Connection")

Stay well clear.

Keep away from this one. The worst thing is the appalling story. There seems to be an intent to convey some subtle spiritual/love/friendship message but it is so pathetically devoid of any substance you can't help but cringe. In addition, the majority of screen time is a far below standard story of thieves, criminals and our hero(es) dealing with some alien time travel artifacts. I know you are asking for trouble when dealing with time but the story is more full of holes than usual. Also you have: cheap sets, bad acting and some of the worst music arrangements in the history of the moving picture, overpowering, cheap, abrupt and disjointed. All I can say is "Man alive ! This film is bad !"

I'm laughing
henriquespencer25 March 2005
The worst thing I have ever watch.

The movie is pure trash. All the things is bad on this movie. The direction, screenplay, arts, cinematography, cast or anything else.

May I say more?

The main character is an boy. It has to have 20 years of age approximately, but the actor who plays the role looks like 30 years old, in addition he is an very bad actor.

The editing tries to save it, but with that very bad material in hands they can't do miracles.

As I said, the cast is poor, the text is poor, that it doesn't help the actors.

I learned how to "do not" make a movie.

Really Bad
usenet693 June 2006
Warning: Spoilers
I find the critique of many IMDb users a little harsh and in many cases find that they crit the movie from a very professional viewpoint and not that of the guy on the street that wants to sit and watch something just to GET AWAY from it all.

In this case however I have to say it was BAD. I am a SciFi junkie and there was NOTHING in this movie that grabbed me for even one second.

There was no proper storyline. I may be an idiot but I still do not know where the GOVERNMENT was that was so worried about these pieces.

The pathetic attempt by the main character to put together these 3 pieces is scary. Half the time the two pieces were already in place and he simply had to add the third. A 3 year old kid would have been able to put them together.

This movie was BAD.

A throwback to the suspense genre!!!
jt1122710 February 2003
This is one of those films that sticks with you a day or two after you see it. I saw it on TV while on holiday and two days later found myself telling a complete stranger on my plane home about this remarkable film. There are no recognizable faces in this picture for me but that was what I found charming. I was able to be completely captivated by this twisting adventure that begins at midnight when a time-altering alien artifact crash lands in a small town and by the turn of dawn, heros and villains have clashed and good triumphs over evil. Although not flawless, the effects were interesting and the props were classic retro sci-fi via 1950's. Whether this was due to budget or the director's own vision or both, it definitely worked and added to the quirkiness of a film that strongly resembled the b**tard child of "The Evil Dead" and "E.T." with a Hitchcock flare. You either "get" this film or you don't. I did and I enjoyed the ride in the process!

A dark and magical adventure!
kvu7 February 2003
I heard about this film from a friend who watched on TV one night and he loved it! The look was very scary and reminded me of the X-files which I enjoyed. There are many twists and turns to the story and the ending is GREAT! The mountain top chase was so intense and very sad at the same time. The music was very magical as well. I have not seen the bad guy who is labeled, "Dark" before but he was exceptionally good villain. I always watch American movies and this is one of my favorites! See this if you can find it in your country. I heard it is on limited release which is too bad. I give it a 10!

GREAT movie!
mujiber18 February 2003
Amazing, intense story. Great movie all-around, it's too bad this didn't have a major Hollywood name behind it to push it to the theaters, I think it would have done exceedingly well. Nevertheless, if you can get a hold of it - check it out.

As good as it gets for an indi film
bailaremos7 February 2003
This small film is brilliantly directed and the plot has you guessing until the end. LINX has a very smart story line and the actors definitely do a wonderful job in projecting the Directors vision. If you have the chance to watch this film, it is well worth it!
