I love all the low budget movies on Amazon Prime and came across this today. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the entire move from beginning to end. I recognized most of the actors and felt like they were very believable. Probably the best low budget film I've seen in awhile. Love streaming services as it gives me a chance to find movies like this. I would recommend this movie to any sci fi lover. Pretty unique and fun!
UNIDENTIFIED is a low budget sci-fi comedy indie that forgets the science fiction stuff for the first hour. Until that point it's a slacker comedy filmed from the point of view of found footage and with endlessly lame humour that the viewer has to sit through. It's something of an endurance test. Later, once the action shifts to the desert, there's some brief alien stuff and a CGI UFO, but believe me it's really not worth the wait.
I really, really like sci-fi. And I don't have any problem with found footage movies. And I appreciate a well done indie on a budget. But this move is just 70 minutes of some uninteresting characters getting ready for a road trip, going on a road trip, then about 45 minutes in, they start to occasionally see or hear something weird for a second. Someone occasionally says "Did you hear/see that?", then they move on with their mundane dialog.The acting is good and believable, which is part of what's so sad. If this at least had poor acting, I could laugh at that. But this movie is all about portraying 70 minutes of believable found footage, then the last 20 minutes it gets good. But at that point, I don't give a damn. I bought it used at Family Video off the rental shelf for $5, only $1.50 more than renting it. It's now in my Buybacks bag of movies to get rid of.The **SPOILER** here is that this actually becomes a sci-fi movie at the end, after being an extremely boring found footage movie for the first hour+.
This film suffers from an identity crisis.Does it want to be a Road Movie or a Sci-Fi Found Footage film? The first 40 minutes or so are crammed with agonising blabbering dialogue which isn't even slightly funny...When the film finally gets going in the second half it is more reasonable. Good Effects, action and a few genuine shocks and scares. Shame it took 50 minutes of pain to get there...and when you finally get there, the buffoon of a director decided that is is then the camera starts to 'play up'e dialogue remains annoying and desperately banal If you have something better to be doing like paint the fence, talk to the wife, walk the dog, I'd say do those instead. Better than watching this utter waste of time.
