Intersect Ratings & Reviews
- jackmeatFebruary 15, 2025My quick rating - 4.9/10. This flick presents itself as an ambitious time travel thriller set within the infamous halls of Miskatonic University, a clear nod to H.P. Lovecraft’s mythos. The premise did catch my attention with a group of young scientists building a time machine, only to discover they are mere pawns of unseen, otherworldly forces. Unfortunately, while the film reaches for cosmic horror greatness, it falls short due to underdeveloped ideas and an overcomplicated narrative structure. The film attempts to weave together grand concepts of time manipulation and Lovecraftian horror, but its execution leaves much to be desired. Miskatonic University alone signals that the writers were delving into territory far more complex than they were capable of handling. While the setting and concept have immense potential, the movie struggles to fully realize its ambitions. One of the main challenges is its fragmented storytelling. The plot unfolds in a non-linear fashion, often moving backward, which demands the viewer's full attention. However, even the most attentive viewers will find that the pieces never quite fit together. Important plot points are left underdeveloped, and the overarching story feels incomplete. Despite these shortcomings, it isn’t entirely without merit. There are moments where the Lovecraftian atmosphere shines through, and the tension created by unseen forces manipulating the protagonists is palpable. Even a subpar Lovecraft-inspired narrative can yield an interesting cinematic experience, and the movie occasionally delivers on that front. It’s worth noting that the film has faced harsh criticism, with many low ratings on IMDb. Dismissing it outright as a one-star disaster feels unfair. I blame that on either a lack of education or patience. Yes, it’s flawed, and yes, it demands more attention than it probably deserves, but it also tries to offer something more thoughtful than your average time travel flick. Ultimately, while Intersect aims high, it gets lost in its own complexity, leaving you with an incomplete and frustrating experience.
