Audience Reviews

Audience Member Honestly THE WORST movie I've ever seen I can't even believe I wasted almost two hours of my life I'll never get back, I was led astray looking at the reviews thinking it could be good.... I literally only created this account to warn others before they watch this , muck utter utter garbage Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review Peter W Lapsis is a highly creative film with many refreshing concepts. It also succeeds in combining the genres of sci-fi, thriller and drama into one. Performances and the effects are solid with a filming style I could not fault. The plot had me invested and excited, but I cannot deny the final moments felt vague and less exciting than I hoped for, especially considering what the film was building up to. Despite my thoughts on the finale, the movie is still highly unpredictable, and Lapsis generally left me feeling quite positive. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/23 Full Review David W Lapsis offers a very believable and informed portrayal of the not too distant future. The climax is less mysterious than the film's overall vibe suggests, but it's very satisfactory nevertheless. Lapsis succeeds by focusing on the very real and very relatable plights of its characters, of whom Madeline Wise's steals the show. Released in 2020, the plot elements have only become more timely with each passing year. I would definitely watch this again. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/24 Full Review Stephen A Yes there are interesting themes here regarding the insecurity of modern life but dear me what a tedious and unconvincing way to attempt to tell the story. The characters are paper thin and often just daft. Don't waste your time with this.. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/15/23 Full Review isla s This is a somewhat mysterious, slightly sinister and definitely exploitative film, plot wise, not content wise, about the futuristic gig economy. Some aspects of it made me think of the Ken Loach film 'Sorry We Missed You' and others of 'The Lobster'.It makes you think about the threat of digital technology superceding human capability. I wish we knew more about the main characters brother, who's suffering from 'Omnia'. That intrigued me more but it's not a fully fleshed out sub-plot. Shame. Its a quirky watch. It doesn't entirely 'work' I think but its ok. Perhaps more of an allegorical thought piece than anything else - it may seem a bit too bland and bizarre for some. Its quite sci-fi based, although without many special effects. A bit of a strange one, this. I wouldn't personally recommend it as a film as such, no. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting take on the gig economy and sheds light on how humans may try hard but will never be able to get rid of the grip that technology has over us.
