Review of The Anomaly (2014) by Mirzel T — 15 Jul 2014

The Anomaly suffers from It's director/star Noel Clarke having too much creative freedom. I know from watching his previous work that he is a good actor, but for some reason here, when directing himself he is flat, and at times I even had to laugh at his poor delivery.

If it wasn't for that this could have been a real sci fi gem. The plot is well executed, and I was eager to find out what was going on, right up until the end, and while he may not know how to direct himself, the fight sequences are very well done.

I always like it when the action is clear, especially when it's one continuous shot, as many of them are here. With low production values, and no real stars to it's name, I feel like this great idea would have been better served as a ten part television series, allowing the story more time to develop.
