Review of Vesper (2022) by Kdog152 — 24 Jan 2023

Tbh, this film is quite boring. I do not understand all the great reviews. A lot of time, nothing really makes any sense and while the message at the start tells us a bit, it's very misleading. It says that the viruses sent out by humans destroyed most of the plant life, however, the majority of the film takes place around a lot of mutated greenery.

So it's a bit contradictory. Also, it never says anything about plant mutations in the opening message. It also says nothing about human mutations and yet, we see one close to the start of the movie. For what this film is though, it's okay.

Not awful, but not particularly great either. The acting is fine and the story does paint the post apocalyptic future it aims for. I heard about this film yesterday when it popped up on my news feed and I read an article on it which made the film out to be great, however it turned out to be a disappointment.

There's a lot of long scenes were it's just two characters sitting around and talking and very little of anything else that could make the film more entertaining. The ending was also really anti- climatic and again, didn't really make any sense.

It reminds me a bit of the film annihilation. They share the same "what is going on" kind of feeling and they both do not make much sense. I'd give it a 5.5 out of 10. I do appreciate the creativity as well.

I just don't like how it lies to us at the start.
