Dark Web: Cicada 3301

Dark Web: Cicada 3301 (kurz auch nur Cicada 3301) ist ein Actionfilm von Alan Ritchson… Ein Hobby-Hacker, sein bester Freund und eine geheimnisvolle Bibliothekarin stoßen im Internet zufällig auf eine mysteriöse Schnitzeljagd… Eine originelle Geschichte mit einer schnellen, humorvollen Handlung, aufgemischt mit klugen sozialen Kommentaren… Leute, die auf schwarzen Humor stehen, werden sich blendend unterhalten…

É um filme de hacker que prometia trazer aos espectadores uma emocionante jornada pelo mundo hack. No entanto, apesar de suas altas expectativas, o filme deixa muito a desejar e falha em cumprir sua proposta, resultando em uma experiência decepcionante para o público. O roteiro confuso e mal estruturado. A trama é repleta de inconsistências e buracos na história, dificultando a compreensão do enredo. Os personagens são rasos e pouco desenvolvidos, com motivações pouco claras e diálogos clichês e previsíveis. A falta de uma narrativa coesa e envolvente torna difícil para o público se conectar com os personagens e se importar com o que acontece na tela. A trilha sonora é genérica e pouco marcante. A música não contribui para a criação de atmosfera e não acrescenta emoção às cenas, sendo facilmente esquecível, além de ser alta, deixando quase impossível escutar as falas.

Fun and fast moving definitely didn't expect too laugh this much.

Not just garbage, that can actually be entertaining, this is intensely boring garbage. I kept watching it for 30-40 minutes thinking it couldn't possibly maintains that level of horrible, but horrible it remained. If nothing else, it's relentlessly consistent and as the minutes wore on and I felt my life slipping away. You have better things to do – trust me.

Какой то фанатский фильм снятый по известной интернет копипасте! Вообще не впечатлило!

The film wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination, but there was nothing memorable about it. It was just unremarkable story-telling hastily rushed through with a fantastical conclusion that seemed way too formulaic and pedestrian. For an intense and captivating subject matter. It didn't do it justice. It barely adequately paid tribute to it. It just basically followed the story faithfully and added an attempted cinematic-worthy finish. There was no real reasoning for why, it was just doing it for doing its sake, with a reason added well into the mystery for trying to crack the mystery of Cicada 3301. Even being critical, I do have to admit I did enjoy it but it isn't something I would ever revisit. Hell, I wouldn't go out of the way to recommend it. If a friend was to say "I am thinking of watching it," I would respond that, yeah if you are interested in the subject matter you should. Other than the basic storytelling, the character development was plain or non-existent. I felt they were all unlikeable from the off-set, Especially the lead character. Never has there been a more abrasive, argumentative, and egotistical character for no reason. As in, there was actually no reason for the character to possess these traits. It didn't make him look cool. If anything it made him seem more unrelatable and more like a douchebag than any character before him. *A tip to any aspiring writers/directors/authors/whomever, perhaps it is essential to have at least something redeemable about your protagonist if you are doing a formulaic good-guy arc. Just saying* The highlight of the acting was Ron Funches character, but not Ron's best work. It was a serviceable to good performance but horrendously overacted at times. But he may have been the only character who actually had something likable about them. Overall for all its negatives, the film itself wasn't too bad. I may even say it was kinda good. The mystery of Cicada 3301 certainly did help it out and never let it feel like a drag. But it isn't something I would go out of my way to watch. It is that sort of, nothing good is on and I have found this, maybe I will give it a watch, sort of viewing

The worst. The absolute worst. Acting, directing, cinematography… I think this project must have been money laundering…

Cheap silly humor, endless cliches. It's just low end overall.

Cobbled together story from a bunch of internet conspiracy memes, the DaVinci code this is not. At times it is tough to even explain who the good guys are fighting or looking for or why they need to fight or find them. Ending is the same as sneakers. Not funny enough to be a comedy not techie enough to be a thriller. Should have picked one genre.

They ruined a concept by making this stinker a comedy. I wish they taken a more serious tone. Waste of time!
