Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

annique-83019 After glancing over the reviews, and seeing people's confusion/dissatisfaction, I almost didn't bother to watch. If one can only think linearly, or if they are uncomfortable with an unconventional movie, then this movie will probably not be enjoyable. Off the top of my head I'd call it Paranormal, but there are almost equally strong elements of Crime, and Slice of Life. I tried doing thing whole "figure-out-the-plot-twist", don't bother.....trust me. This may also be an element of what turns people off. This is purely a story being told. Just empty your mind of any preconceived notions and watch. Everything ties in smoothly at a good pace, and the ending is satisfying. Remember, I also labeled this as a Slice of Life. This means no dramatic moments of extraordinary epiphany followed by action. In the end the MC knows exactly what's going on, and just like every human who exercises free will, makes a choice. Also, just like many of us emotion will overcome sense. His heroic deed was accomplished in an anti-heroic style, but just like in life his obsession will.......well I've gone on long enough I think.

jhr2012 What a waste of time. I have no idea what I just watched. I fell asleep three times because it was so boring, and each time, there were a bunch of new characters. The story was confusing and I could not keep track of the characters. More importantly, I didn't care! Don't watch this one. You'll be as disappointed as I was, I'm sure.

Bryan Oliver Convergence is one of those movies that I had to watch more than once. What I loved most about it, was that it challenges both the horror and psychological thriller genres in a whole new way. This film does what Hollywood is scared to do. They attempted something different. The religious themes that run through out add a unique view point that I feel gives more depth both to our hero and to the lunatic he is out to get. Truth be told I did feel there were a few pacing issues just around the middle of the film, but the pay off was worth it. The effects were amazing and done without being so over the top that you are taken back out of the film. They kept it classy. I enjoyed that there is certainly some gore but it's not mindless blood lust. Ethan Embry plays a stellar antagonist and Clayne Crawford shows us the emotional side of being pitted in a situation no man wants to face. Convergence brings it home on numerous levels. Eery ghost like beings, a complete nut job that you cant reason with, and feelings of loss when you attempted to do your best for the hero. The supporting characters are huge in this. The nurse alone gave me goosebumps and one unfortunate soul who had a really bad day as far as his face is concerned really got me. I look up to movies like this because they challenge convention and the day to day, re-purposed crap that Hollywood calls original entertainment. Do yourself a favor and watch Convergence at your nearest opportunity. Drew Hall and his crew really know how to entertain.

Info-241-562323 I watched this, basically as the idea (and some other reviews) intrigued me - not sure if it warranted such a low score; but I wouldn't have raised it by much (maybe a 5.0/5.5). The general idea behind it is pretty good, but would probably have made a better book than a film; and here lies the problem.Not enough is left to the psychological imagination - everything is very 'full on' to the point I wasn't sure if I was watching an action, thriller, horror or sci-fi movie. You get a bit of everything thrown at you, and sadly it gets a bit tedious and confusing after a while.The storyline could have been conveyed so much better without the 'hey ho' attitudes and rough and tumble action scenes - they just weren't needed. All these did for me was take me away from the essence of the movie until I completely lost track of what it was all about.Movie takes an interesting turn towards the end - something which I would have liked to have seen incorporated earlier, as unfortunately I had started to lose interest by this stage.Verdict: if you've absolutely nothing else to watch, give it a go. It's not a complete waste of time; but it will more than likely be easily forgotten. 5/10
