Altered Ratings & Reviews
- jotaccfNovember 22, 20251 star because can’t give a negative review
- jricci1November 26, 2025I had to turn it off. Apparently security guards in the future carry a hand written note pad with security codes neatly listed for each floor….
- jackmeatNovember 28, 2025My quick rating - 4.0/10. Altered drops us into an alternate present where genetically enhanced elites run the show, and regular folks, or anyone not born from a designer gene catalog, are treated like disposable background characters. Right off the bat, we meet Leon (Tom Felton) and Chloe (Elizaveta Bugulova), two outcasts trying to fight back against a system stacked higher than a Marvel movie’s VFX budget. After a quick bit of exposition, we’re shuffled straight into a future-tech heist, which is honestly where the movie is at its strongest… mostly because the pacing doesn’t give you time to question anything yet. Unfortunately, once you do start questioning things, the cracks show fast. The genetic elitists, supposedly evolved beyond us mere mortals, look less like sophisticated superhumans and more like the rejected creature designs from a Syfy pilot. Their modifications are strange and not in any way intimidating, unless you’re afraid of awkwardly applied prosthetics. Being separated from Chloe for about two minutes sends Leon into a meltdown like he’s been wandering the desert for years. And then there’s Mira (Aggy K. Adams), a famous singer who goes from kidnapped victim to soul-bonded ride-or-die in the span of a single montage. The script bends itself into a pretzel to make these relationships happen, and none of it feels earned. “Script of convenience” is the nicest way I could put it. Leon’s superhero-ish suit doesn’t help matters. I couldn’t tell if it was supposed to be intimidating or a rejected costume from Kick-Ass. And yes, things do take a hard left turn into sudden romance. The whole movie has this “was this written by AI?” vibe. If not, someone was definitely speed-running the screenplay at 3 a.m. Timo Vuorensola has done much better (I have seen Iron Sky), so the laziness here is disappointing. Predictability is the real villain. You’ll see every plot point coming long before the characters do. The action scenes? Completely laughable. When the anti-genetics group slaughters an entire restaurant, not a single drop of blood hits the floor. It’s shockingly sterile. Audio editing swings wildly from scene to scene, and there are jarring music-video-style cuts that seem like they’re supposed to convey a vibe, but instead land like unfinished placeholders. The frustrating part is that the core idea isn’t bad at all. Some environments look solid, and a few effects are serviceable enough to communicate what’s happening, even if “strength” and “random flower energy” are as deep as the power system goes. Bugulova deserved more dialogue because she’s genuinely the best thing on screen. Felton gives what he can, but his character is written to be irritating, so there’s only so much he can do. The message is worth hearing; the execution is not. Altered is watchable once, but barely. Not the worst concept - just a painfully weak delivery.
- Jack BarrittJanuary 9, 2026Interesting. Will watch the second. If he brings it out.
- John Thompson (DarthFader)January 8, 2026Worst acting ive seen in a long time
- karlnotlennyDecember 13, 2025I couldn't finish it. I tried but it's just so bad.
- robhigaredaJanuary 8, 2026Probably the worst sci-fi super hero movie in existence. Absolutely made zero sense, and was terrifyingly hard to watch all the way through.
- lettermanstudDecember 9, 2025Why did I watch this
- jigglyJanuary 4, 2026Kinda cheesy.
- VikingIMDecember 3, 2025Altered offers an intriguing concept—a world split between the genetically enhanced elite and the unmodified 'specials' forced underground—but the film doesn't quite deliver on that promise. The setup draws you in with its class divide premise and rebellion storyline, yet somewhere along the way the momentum falters. Key plot points feel undercooked, and the emotional beats don't land with the weight they should. Tom Felton does what he can with the material as Leon, the resourceful inventor, but the script doesn't give him enough to really sink his teeth into. It's a watchable film with solid visual ideas, but one that leaves you thinking about what could have been if the execution had matched the ambition.
- consortius2December 30, 2025Honestly a C rated movie, bad acting all around.
- adam3199December 7, 2025I wish I could give it no stars. It deserves none.
- Arron BrownDecember 1, 2025Dont get fooled by seeing a couple of actors you know the script and the delivery is so woodedi stuck with it for 65 minutes hoping it would get better but it just never did, just shows you the difference a goo dbehind the camera team can do
- Walter Jospeh KovacsDecember 1, 2025Like a poor man's Gattaca. Then again, most movies substitute thought provoking reflections on complex social issues for action sequences. It's watchable. It's forgettable.
- Chrisa887November 22, 2025Had some cheesy acting, but was still a good movie
