Rent Anti Matter (2016)

Off-beat SciFi - Anti Matter review by GP

This definitely has the feel of a low budget production and the one idea is not that big (or indeed believable, but this is fiction so who cares?). Nevertheless I found it an OK film to watch but there is not enough in it to make me want to watch it again.

I am rendered speechless! - Anti Matter review by CP Customer

Over the years I have watched some awful movies but this one takes the biscuit! The so called "story" is nothing like what you are led to expect from the maker's hype. Thee is no story! Dead in the water comes to mind. Flat, characterless people who constantly mumble so you cannot understand what they are saying. Hung in there for about an hour in the hope it might get better then just gave up.

Disappointing twaddle - Anti Matter review by IF

I have some sympathy with the filmmakers given the obviously low budget, and there's no doubt that there are some interesting ideas here (though very few of them are new, in philosophy, science fiction or film) but, even when taking all that into account, this a poor effort. It's very badly scripted, as it moves between technobabble and totally unrealistic human interaction, the characterisation is virtually non-existent, and these elements in combination make it very difficult for the actors to appear remotely convincing.

There are hints of much better films here that you suspect the filmmakers had seen and wanted to emulate - 'Memento', 'The Prestige', 'The Fly' and 'Timecrimes' all spring to mind, but those films were well-paced, well-written and took one really clever idea and constructed a believable film around that idea. By comparison 'Anti Matter' has too many ideas (& characters & story threads), none of them that great or original, and it mixes them up into an unconvincing end product.

If you like the films I mention above then personally I would suggest you watch them again rather than waste 109 minutes on this exhausting and frustrating but ultimately uninspiring effort.

Unintelligible science fiction - Anti Matter review by DR

In an Oxford University setting, the conversation between the less than brilliant researchers was rapid and gabbled. A B-movie plot ensued.
