In Altitude Falling it's the year 2029, and everyone has been injected with a chip that is used to track people's movements, jobs and political memberships. Greg helped invent it, but now he's in the mountains living a quiet life...that is until he meets, and falls in love with, the adorable, and very young, Danny.

There is very little one can say that's good about this film...other than to say "yeah...I guess it's a film?" The acting is laughably bad (they seem to have used any/all characters from John Waters' early works as the standard). The premise is one of a futuristic "big brother" type of doomsday scenario...only the budget is too small for anything other than the occasional CGI effects on monitors to get this point across (wait...that implies there was a point). The man-boy love premise pervasive throughout this film seems more like a NAMBLA recruitment tactic than an actual plot-line. The writer/director/"star" seems to believe anyone cares to see him naked is probably the biggest fantasy in this film. No wait...the second biggest fantasy, since I just read the reviews and there are actually people giving this 10 stars...apparently thinking we don't know they are somehow attached to the film or actors.In sum, unless you too are a creepy old man who fantasizes about scenarios where it could possibly be acceptable to seduce and sleep with the boy next door...just don't watch this.
one word describes it all CRAP and whoever gave it a good review probably were paid to do so like the one with 10 stars waste of time do not watch and watching clouds go by would have been more entertaining, no story horrible acting not entertaining and wasted hours i have not seen a worse movie than this in my life and i'm sure there were some bad ones but this one topped it all your better off watching a movie that u have seen before than waste time on this one horrible acting i must say again Director didn't know acting how would them rest of them know it Avoid if u really don't want to waste your timeone word describes it all CRAP and whoever gave it a good review probably were paid to do so like the one with 10 stars waste of time do not watch and watching clouds go by would have been more entertaining, no story horrible acting not entertaining and wasted hours i have not seen a worse movie than this in my life and i'm sure there were some bad ones but this one topped it all your better off watching a movie that u have seen before than waste time on this one horrible acting i must say again Director didn't know acting how would them rest of them know it Avoid if u really don't want to waste your time
It's hard to do low-budget sci-fi. And when I talk low budget, I am talking about an eight day shooting schedule and very small cast (basically, five main players and a small handful of extras). Plus making a premise that doesn't collapse under it's own weight. "Altitude Falling," a modestly created look at the near future, pulls it off, and is director Paul Bright's best film to date.To summate, it's a decade or so into the future. There's a deep recession going on, and an inexplicable war in Venezuela. People have been implanted with tracking chips, which started out as innocent ways to identify and locate people in case of serious emergencies, like accidents or natural disasters. But now the mere act of entering a mini-market ID's you and offers you a targeted special sale item. It also means that, as the war escalates, the government can find you if they need you.The five lives interconnected here are all tied to the chips and how they evolved. Greg Forrster (Bright) has fled his old life to take residence in New Mexico, and Danny's family has come to escape their unemployed status after tidal surges have destroyed their home (the consequences of global warming are where the movie's title come from). One of the more intriguing aspects of "Altitude Falling" is just how easily this future could occur, without any whizz-bang gizmos or vacuously expensive "Avatar" effects. The fiction is subtle, but realistic. "Altitude Falling" is a provocative and enjoyable film.
I have just watched this film and I would like to write this review while it's still fresh in my mind.I have to admit that in this particular gay themed movie, the gay issue is the least important aspect. There are many similar examples to this kind of film, and it's no better or worse then any of them.However, the near-futuristic plot line is vital, and in fact it is the first time I see this kind of realistic plot that deals with what will definitely be our lives in 15, 20 or 25 years ahead - life with no freedom, life which is monitored and controlled by our would be oppressors - the government, the army, the elite. It is truly important that everyone should watch this film and relate to it not as a sci-fi movie, but as a real life experience - 20 years or so ahead from today.This I feel is the main contribution of this film.As for production levels - well as one can expect from indie low budget; but please try to look beyond the mere look of the film, and into the strong message it entails.Highly recommended viewing!
