1.0 out of 5 stars
May cause nausea, bleeding from the eyes, and homicidal hatred of Rider Strong, January 3, 2009
Pulse 3 closes out the horrific experiment that were sequels to Pulse, a tolerable horror movie about a frequency that the dead can operate on. Justine, a mentally handicapped holdover from Pulse 2, recieves a message from Adam, who claims to be living in Houston, rather than her runt refugee camp. Following her pants and managing to either alienate or kill everyone she encounters, Justine unfortunately does not die the screaming, agonized death you pray she suffers.
This isn't so much a horror as it is a loose compilation of scenes that a kind person may consider horror-based. There aren't even startle scares, and the whole plot, including twists, are so blatant you can't hope to be surprised. The only character that deserves to live, despite being a jerk, dies thanks to Justine's incompetence. I began fast forwarding at regular intervals to pass the long camera-motion scenes that make up the bulk of the film, which consists of Justine gazing off into the distance while the camera rotates around and fades in and out. Homer Simpson could've done better using nothing but star wipes. Only get for MST3K related purposes, for for an excuse to fly into a psychotic rage

Not great but better than one and two, , December 28, 2008
I'm one of those types who enjoys a good post-apocalyptic flick every now and then so this movie appealed t me on that level at least. It's far superior than the second, by leaps and bounds really and I enjoyed the plot more than the previous two. The movie had many flaws and it won't appeal to everyone but it does make up a bit for how bad the second one is. It's your typical B Horror movie with a touch of sci-fi for added effect. If you're bored and want to watch something mindless and somewhat entertaining then you could do worse. While the second installment of the Pulse trilogy earned a solid one star or perhaps no stars if that was an option this one at least qualified for two or three.

Barely better than Pulse 2, March 9, 2009
Because everyone was just clamoring for another sequel to Pulse, Pulse 3 is here, and suffers from all the problems that made Pulse 2 practically unwatchable. Picking up years after Pulse 2, Pulse 3 finds the grown up Justine (Brittany Finamore) traversing back to the haunted city in search of the mysterious Adam (Rider Strong). In terms of plot, that's about it in a nutshell, as Pulse 3 features more spectacularly awful green-screen effects work, an incoherent and non-sensical story, and one of the most annoying and unlikable "heroines" you'll see today. With an uber-confusing ending, hopefully this is indeed the end of the Pulse series, and perhaps Joel Soisson can move on and craft more films that are pretty well close to being an insult to the horror genre. Avoid.
