Brand New-U (2015) Reviews
Suckfest
There are no redeeming qualities about this movie. I thought that the premise sounded intriguing but I found it confusing. and boring. I kept waiting for something good to catch my interest which never happened. The characters are hard to follow and have no depth. I couldn't figure out their motivation. The roles are confusing and I am not sure I even understood the plot as it was so poorly defined. I couldn't figure out if the characters were trapped in some sort of alternate world or if it was based on a very strange world in general. I'm not sure I even understood the ending. It was by far the worst movie I've seen this year.
Way Too Murky & Nonsensical
I try and give low-budget sci-fi films more leeway to see without costly special effects if some nuggets of cleverness or originality can be found. Unfortunately, what I saw here came across as way too murky, obtuse, and nonsensical, for my tastes. Told in a slow-paced and surrealistic manner, the story, from what I could garner, revolves around a nefarious and mysterious company, called Brand New-U, that apparently abducts or beats people into submission, to take them to their headquarters. Once there, they are transformed into a new version of themselves (or identical) via a type of hypnosis, brainwashing, and surgery. For what exact purpose this is done never really became clear to me, but there is a mention of rich benefactors of the corporation who believe a better human being can emerge. Huh? The two stars of the movie have good screen presence but their talents, in my opinion, can't be realized within this dense plot. Simon Pummell handles the writing and direction, and just what he had in mind escapes me, I'm sorry to say. All in all, this sci-fi flick didn't work for me at any level, and I would recommend not to waste your time here with this one.
What is wrong with the rating system?
How on earth can this crapfest be currently averaging 7.3/10? Seriously, IMDb's reputation is damaged beyond repair if garbage like this achieves such a high score, causing those who still trust the site to waste their time and money sitting through such an inane and pointless excuse of a movie. So the production team summoned all their friends and relatives, urging them to clog IMDb with their 10/10 ratings, betraying those of us who actually care about honest recommendations. Gaming the system this way is only hurting the art of cinematography. Pathetic.
Boring pointless film makes no sense and full of unnecessary slow motion
This is one of the worst films I have ever seen. Nothing happens in this film, and that nothing somehow manages to not make any sense. There's no plot, no ending, no explanation of what is going on. They take short shots and DRAG them out for FOREVER with stupid pointless slow motion! AVOID THIS FILM! It's not even bad in a way that can possibly be enjoyed - it's just awful and boring and pointless! Science fiction is supposed to play with an interesting idea. This film begins with what seems like an interesting premise, and then manages to throw away that premise and just become a confusing mess full of pointless slow motion. AVOID!
HAd to save anyone from wasting there life
The vote button does not go below 1 but IF it did i would rate this film the lowest possible score available (and I've seen Cube 2; Hypercube) This film will leave you with no understanding and only wish you could have your time back. I created an account just to be able to leave this warning because felt that strongly about it and my fellow man potentially falling into the same trap that i did; heard about the film, checked the 7.4 IMDb rating and thought 'why not!' Please be careful. The characters did not explain anything and left every part of this film and especially the plot itself to the imagination. I expect anyone rating this above 1 filled said gaps with their own thoughts. I found the film was displaying scenes in slow motion to just fill up time? so many unnecessary slow-mo tension building scenes (strong in the background and everything). Random waste of my life.
