5.0 out of 5 stars Here's your future, June 2, 2010

This review is from: Altitude Falling (DVD)

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice idea for May to September romance but..., August 23, 2010

I can say the cinematography was good. Interesting idea played out on a budget. Otherwise, I have no idea what the other reviewers were looking at that they gave such good reviews and hence I bought this dvd. It was just plain poor acting from start to finish. The older leather daddy gave me the creeps when he started to kiss the young 20 something rather fey boy. Considering that the boy did have very kissable lips which was his only redeeming quality, the reason, whys and wherefores of the attraction was just not there. It appeared as if the leather daddy was going to swallow the kid whole when he kissed him. The supporting cast consisted of two women who were about as exciting to watch as watching grass grow and the opening with what seemed like a meth addicted hooker, was just plain bizarre. Angora Ranch, which was just ok, is leagues ahead of this followup film from the Director, Producer, Writer and Protagonist Paul Bright. Save yourself the time and money and buy used if you must see.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another fine Silly Bunny Pictures Offering, July 20, 2010

This review is from: Altitude Falling (DVD)

With the latest release from writer/director/actor Paul Bright, I found he moved in yet another direction, this time tackling a futuristic view of the world, one in the not-so-distant future that is both apolitical and scary, making a distinct political statement. At it's heart, Altitude Falling is a story of romance between Greg and Danny. But it is the love that wakes both up from the stupor they, as well was Danny's mother [intensely played by Brenda Kuciemba], grandmother [played with nuance and a deft touch by Cynthia Schiebel], and his displaced father. Making a human connection helps put into perspective the artificial, be it the trappings of the internet or the judgments placed on people who don't conform to the 'accepted' norm. The strong script coupled with the strong performances of the leads make this film move from pleasant entertainment to a higher level, a story that pushes you to examine your own life, as well as our collective future. I highly recommend Altitude Falling.
