NS404: Provenance (2020) User Reviews

Lots of questions, but no answers, lousy ending

[reallytorkedoff-87464 · 3/10 · 30 September 2023]

It appears to have been done on a low budget, but not so low that they couldn't afford actors. The acting was OK, the script was OK, but the story was pretty lame. It had the standard MIBs, but with no explanation of what they were, just that they had been around for all of human history..

Then the ending just falls apart, with no explanation of what happened to the different people or why any of the events were happening. No asteroid or anything truly sci-fi.

I think it may have been some Christian apocalypse thing, but didn't follow the usual patterns.

All in all, the payoff, if you can call it that, wasn't worth the time spent watching.

It was filmed in Florida. That may explain a few things.

Atrocious

Absolutely no direction in this film. The actors walked around as though they were at a funeral, when they were supposed to be moving with a purpose.

I'm sorry I didn't take note of the vote count on IMDB, I just saw the 7.1 and thought it must be better than the other film I was going to watch.

I'm spitting chips for wasting my time watching this.

Mysterious, dark, prophetic.

A film beautiful and brilliant in its mystical suggestion of apocalyptic proportions. I suppose some might find it confusing or frustrating, for me that is the reality of metaphysics, questions don't get answered and conclusions can't be reached. Not with our current understanding, and as someone who reads a lot on philosophy and mysticism, this is a realistic representation far superior to anything blockbusters offer. Loved it - very happy to know these films are getting made.
