Project E.1337: ALPHA (2022)
Who keeps giving these people money to make movies?
Who at Ammo Content managed to con money out of financiers to make such an epic waste of time? Admittedly it couldn't have been much money, because it looks to have been shot in someone's back yard. This film could have benefitted from low resolution, considering that in high def, you could see houses through the trees in the background when they were supposedly in the wilderness. The audio track was obviously mixed and dubbed by a 10 year old, and the director clearly has no talent at all. The story line is everything but a line, and not in that quirky Momento sort of way, but more akin to a piece of knotted rope that has been cut into dozens of sections to remove the knot. Even after watching this garbage, I still didn't know what it was about until I came to IMDb to read the synopsis. Odd, thing is, that the synopsis doesn't seem to be for the movie I just watched. This movie was not entertaining, not thrilling, suspenseful, and has almost no science fiction elements. So yourself a favor, give this a hard pass. I don't even know how I could spoil something this bad.

And where are we again?
So, where, for the love of all that is holy, is this movie supposed to be taking place? Apparently it is supposed to be somewhere in the U.S., because otherwise what the hell are all these Americans doing in the movie. Originally Karl Urban's Jeep appears to have Louisiana Plates on it, but in every scene with multiple back ground cars, there are lots of cars that aren't even sold in the U.S.
I also need to point out that NO police force in the U.S. has ever used BMW E36 sedans as cop cars, or Land Rover Discoverys, at least that I can find. And those police badges on the sleeves of their uniforms could not be more generic. Maybe this movie suffered from High Definition clarity.
Also, the establishing shots for the locations are bizarre and simply wrong, and the cops all sound like they're from New York.
It's just so confusing. As if the producer and director had never set foot in the U.S. and was just guessing at what it would look like.
I've seen worse movies, but this one had the potential to be much better, regardless of the rehashed plot. At least I don't feel the need to find these people and ask them for my time back.
