The Fix Ratings & Reviews
- Andrew CloutJuly 4, 2025Premise of the movie good….execution was poor.
- Dino PalmerJune 15, 2025The self-righteousness of the powers that be never change.
- Darren WebsterNovember 27, 2024So, at first I was thinking this was one of those "made for TV movies" on par with those terrible movies made that used to play on the SyFy Channel on Friday nights, and, to a point, this is that. Low budget, yes. Clunky beginning due to a set of writers that aren't accustomed to writing about people just being people or what kids do at parties. The first part of the movie feels like it's trying to find its feet and decide what kind of movie it wants to be. Teen drama? Science Fiction? Action? Thriller? Turns out it's the last 3 things. Grace does a pretty good job of brinign Ella to life and while at first you have a tendency to dislike her, she kinda starts to grow on you. But she does make the atypical bad decision of trusting the bad guy (Sharman) who does an excellent job of being that, even if he doesn't look the part. The interesting thing about the movie is that it's trying to tell us that polluting our planet is just going to end up killing us, which, is in fact probably accurate, but it also makes you start to think of alternatives. The human race is bound and determined to stay on the path it's been on, so maybe we need to change. That's the premise of the movie ina way. The changes Ella goes through are outward in appearance, as well as inside. It's actually satisfying seeing her finally come in to her own, accept what she is becoming and embrace it, I only wish the movie had done that earlier on so we could see her in action having fully embraced her changes. It feels like an origin story for a super hero if I'm being honest, and that's not really a bad thing. I think what's fun about this is that it's a low budget take on the Species franchise, but in a less overly sexualized and violent manner. Normally a film like this I'd be like "cool, we've seen it, moving on" but I kinda want to see Ella come back to help lift up the human race and become the big hero. While special effects are mostly practical, there are a few times where it was blatantly obvious it was done with CGI. Like watching those old Million Dollar Man shows or the Incredible hulk TV show. I can't help but wonder what would have happened if they'd had a million to play with for special effects? That alone could have easily lifted this out of the SyFy Friday night movie realm and into the "why wasn't this in a theater" realm. Audio is pretty good too. There are a few times where it was a bit rough to understand what a few people were saying, but there's enough others around that you can kinda get the jist of what they said. Music wise, again, low budget. They licensed some bigger name music, pretty sure there was some Evanescence in there, but most of it was generally pretty generic and run of the mill. Again, I'm left wondering, what would have been if they had a bigger budget? Overall, yeah, this isn't a terrible waste of an hour and a half.
- Peggy LongJune 10, 2025Excellent movie
- Yahdanevan HunterMay 2, 2025Unexpected masterpiece. I need part II!!
- kaylamccainJune 3, 2025I absolutely loved this movie. Hope to see a part 2 soon. In the beginning I was a tad confused on who is who and what means what but it all made sense in the end
- Robert PryorApril 29, 2025poor dialog and music that overpowers scenes , adding a false sense of intensity to underwhelming moments. The last quarter of the movie seemed rushed.
- cesarmazariegos747May 23, 2025Dialogue was totally out of character. The actors made the movie look and sound unappealing.
- Драгомир СотировMay 17, 2025interesting movie
- 6xytsMay 1, 2025I was entertained.
- damaris.mcmApril 30, 2025Loved it. Different imaginative and full of action and suspense. Something entirely different. Good acting as well.
- xthisApril 23, 2025I enjoyed the sci-fi.
- cyberbillpApril 18, 2025Not the worst "Woke"garbage that I've watched. If you get past the fact that every single caucasian male is a Machevellian a-hole, it's not to bad. Seems like a British PC made-for-tv movie.
- Bart ByseckerApril 2, 2025Awesome Movie
- Kimberleigh HensleyMarch 28, 2025Awesome! Now we need it to become a trilogy!!! 😀😀😀😀
