Supercell (2023)
6/10
Many good ingredients, but a mediocre result
22 March 2023
All the actors range from decent to great. The plot is really simple, nothing too deep or unexpected. The soundtrack was actually amazing, possibly the best thing about the whole movie - the composer goes above and beyond what this move deserves! I'm keeping an eye on Corey Wallace, he's going to do great things I reckon.

I was constantly annoyed by the awful compositing work, as they tried to add in dramatic skies and storms to many shots, and failed to do good edge-masking or color correction. I work with video myself, so I know it can't have been easy to deliver this any better on this budget. I suspect the blame lies with the director and cinematographer, who thought they knew what they were doing, that they could pull this off without bluescreens, better lighting and a VFX expert on set.

Yes it was worth watching, but the action only gets intense for a few short minutes in total. It's unavoidable that this movie will be compared to "Twister" and it just comes nowhere near the same caliber of drama and intensity.
