Don't trust what flies

Not too far in the future, the world is right on the edge of ruin as global drought has caused agricultural failure and starvation. Drones are put to use in farming and a lot of faith is put in the advanced technology that just may save mankind. However the drones prove to have a mind of their own.

Flight of fear

Was really quite intrigued by 'Hover' when it appeared in my recommended for you section, with a creepy poster/cover, a fine premise and as someone with a general appreciation for the genre it fits under. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there (though there are decent to good ones as well), made me though apprehensive.

It is sadly however yet another film seen recently, hence some reiteration because the exact same strengths and flaws present in those films are here, that to me was incredibly disappointing considering its potential which it doesn't do anywhere near enough with. 'Hover' is really quite awful, with so many huge flaws and doesn't do anything with any potential it had. There is net to nothing good here in 'Hover', a vast majority of it amateurish.

Only good things are a fairly promising start and a reasonably atmospheric soundtrack on occasions. That's it for the praise.

Going on to the negatives, the story does feel over-stretched and some of it comes over as vague and under-explained in the last third where the film especially became duller, more predictable, more senseless and less unsettled and never gaining momentum. All the characters are too sketchy and with cardboard thin and colourless personalities and with nowhere near enough to make one want to endear to them. Their annoying and illogical decision making and behaviours frustrates. The chemistry is bland and unfocused.

The sound quality is obvious and utilised cheaply (being too loud in the build ups and people's reactions), the effects are shoddy and uniformly the acting is lacking severely, that's actually an understatement as the worst of it is horrendous. There is no sense of horror or engagement with the awful predicament they're in, and no connecting with the character, it just reeks of indifference and complete blankness which makes the viewer not care less too.

Dialogue can be stilted and rambling while the pace and film drags on forever, after a promising start and doesn't ever recover. The ending has no build-up and just ends ridiculously. Found too many of the supposedly shocking moments not surprising or scary and the atmosphere dreary, due to the excessive obviousness, a lot of dumb and vague moments and explanations and the lack of tension and suspense. Thrills are none, thanks to stodginess and excessive over-familiarity, and found myself never invested in the drama, which tended to be indifferently acted, interminably paced and statically directed.

A lot of 'Hover' has really dull and going nowhere plot elements and often nonsensical and confusing character motivations, while too many of the things to make you shocked are far from creative or unsettling. It all feels rather tame while the threat completely lacks menace and looks terrible.

Nothing freaky or interesting, no development and too derivative, while everything is unimaginative and are more odd than scary, completely failing to show any sense of dread. There is nothing interesting or illuminating with what the film was trying to do and the drama is overwrought with no momentum and a lot of weirdness. The direction is barely there and disorganised. 'Hover' is very amateurish visually, too drearily lit and shows no care in the way it's shot.

Summing up, very, very bad despite starting reasonably well. 2/10 Bethany Cox

Extremely stupid typical SyFy fare

After this movie I have learned a lesson: anything that bears the SyFy label needs to be rejected as "let's find something better to do".

Starting off as an interesting concept (Transition, a company that helps people ease into death), this oh-so-slow movie drags on, and on, and on. Then near the end it turns into typical SyFy craptastic with excessive violence, ridiculous plot line, predictable and vapid ending.

There are no redeeming qualities to this flick. The plot is cliche and over-done, the story line drops into a sink hole, and any semblance of logic, purpose or meaning is lost to lazy-writing and final-ten-minutes typical SyFy slop.

Save yourself some brain cells and watch... well, just about anything else.
