I really liked it. It was very sci-fi heavy which was awesome. My only issue is the segment that started out like a poetry reading was too slow for my liking.
The frame story/documentary film featurette was pretty entertaining, the rest of the anthology shorts were unique and leaves you guessing until you say, “Okay, sure—let’s go with that, why not?”
There were a couple of short films on here that were cool but the majority were just boring and uninteresting. The film did stick with an 80s aesthetic which was great. Some of the shots did feel like they come from the era. But all in all, still not as good as some of the previous entries but certainly a step up from what was V/H/S/99. So yeah.
Are you going to be scared? No. Is it cheesy but enjoyable enough to pass the time because it’s found footage? Yes.
I thought this was very good! Very imaginative!
