Unidentified (2013)

I love all the low budget movies on Amazon Prime and came across this today. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the entire move from beginning to end. I recognized most of the actors and felt like they were very believable. Probably the best low budget film I've seen in awhile. Love streaming services as it gives me a chance to find movies like this. I would recommend this movie to any sci fi lover. Pretty unique and fun!

UNIDENTIFIED is a low budget sci-fi comedy indie that forgets the science fiction stuff for the first hour. Until that point it's a slacker comedy filmed from the point of view of found footage and with endlessly lame humour that the viewer has to sit through. It's something of an endurance test. Later, once the action shifts to the desert, there's some brief alien stuff and a CGI UFO, but believe me it's really not worth the wait.

Well the 1st half of this movie was alright.When the 4 friends were on their way to Vegas & in Vegas, this movie was OK & I was into it.The movie was fun.When they were on their way back from Vegas, the movie took a serious turn & things got weird.It was straight downhill from there & you could just feel it.It dragged on till the end.There really wasn't a lot going on here.After watching it for awhile at 1st I thought I might end up liking it.It had my interest & things were going good but towards the end, it felt like the movie did a total switch.Things got serious, Unidentified was no longer fun & I lost interest fast.I don't know how I would've made this movie any better other than sticking to the way it started off in the beginning.I liked the 1st half road trip adventure the 4 friends went on but all the 2nd half UFO footage I could've done without

This movie, an obvious indie film, had great potential. The premise is actually good. Being stuck out in the middle of the desert some miles out from Las Vegas, with possible aliens stalking you, is an interesting starting point. The problem is that it wasn't used as a starting point. For whatever reason, the writer of this movie filled the first three-forths of the script with some of the most boring and irritating dialog I've ever witnessed. The actors did their best, the direction didn't stray towards horrible. It's just the writing was notorious. After about 50 or so minutes, the movie actually gets fairly good. It's never great, although the final scene (flying through the air) was actually very well done. It almost seems as if this was meant to be a short film, and someone got a greenlight to make it feature length, but they had no idea how to do that, so they just told the actors to ad-lib and do their best. My suggestion, literally, is to fast- forward to about the 45 minute mark and go from there.
