Words cannot describe how greatly this movie changed my life. The year was 2014. My legs were gone. My children, somewhere in Ukraine. My wife stolen from me by the Government. Everything was going wrong for me. One day, I decide to rent Birdemic: Shock and Terror. The moment the movie started, my spirits lifted. Its four minute intro of only driving made me forget about my wife and children almost immediately. Then, the first words were spoken: "h i" I'd like to pay whoever casted this because they did an amazing job. The audio quality is also the best I've ever seen. Yes, this movie has gifted me the ability to see sound. Continuing, every word that was spoken inspired me as a person. I also learned, in detail, how to use a gun, which, I now find very helpful. Immediately after the movie ended, I heard a knock at my door. My legs had returned to me, kicking the door down and attaching themselves to my waist. With this first amazing thing happening to me, I had the motivation to fix everything.I flew to the White House, killing the president immediately with my bird-like stare. I grabbed my wife from the clutches of his arms and lifted her into the air with my newly grown wings, holding her with my feet. The children were next.We soon arrived in Ukraine, my children screaming when they saw me. There were tears in their eyes and they were backing away from shock. They missed me so dearly. I grabbed both and put them in my pelican-like beak, and began flying home. Birdemic: Shock and Terror is the reason I am still alive.
... View MoreHave you ever heard of the saying "So bad, it's good"? If you don't know what this means, I'll explain. The "So bad" part means that it's poorly made, and explains why this has a poor review on IMDb. But, the "It's Good" part means that it's entertaining. And this is what Birdemic is!The Birdemic takes about 45 minutes to start, the birds look like they are just GIFS, and they charecters acted terribly. It's entertaining because it's cool seeing the actors shoot the birds. Go see this movie, it's that addicting.

Birdemic is in a league of its own, I have watched a couple of times now and I still cannot decide whether the actors believe this is a serious role or that they are fully aware of how bad the film is so don't really try to act! This doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the movie, I did enjoy it, it made me laugh and reminds me that almost any film can bring enjoyment as long as you don't get all "film elitist" Watch it, its fun. Then watch the second.

View MoreReturning to his small-town home, a man finds his attempted romance with a local model interrupted by a series of attacks carried out by swarms of killer birds attacking anything that moves and must not only get themselves but the other survivors of their town to safety.Frankly, this one really is that bad. About the only thing enjoyable with this one is the fact that there's a lot of bird encounters in the last half which really generates a modicum of excitement compared to the bland beginning. From the attack at the motel to the gunfight with the creatures trying to get away and the later sequences on the beach-side picnic area which has a bit of action thrown in to raise this one up slightly. With these providing the film with some decent gore effects for the aftermath of their attacks, these here are the film's positives as it does have many factors that bring it down. The main issue here is the absolutely atrocious bargain-basement level CGI that passes as acceptable in the film. The attacks are laughable in how inept they appear due to the work in here, as the birds not only look completely inorganic and nowhere close to interacting within their environment that just makes for a frustrating watch. These creatures perform the most rudimentary actions possible and seems to think that passes for horrific attacks here as they seemingly hover around the location placed on-screen in a random manner which really turns these into being silly rather than scary as this occurs for every single one of these action scenes. Likewise, the other big issue with this one is the atrocious pacing on display here which really does hamper this one considerably. There are way too many scenes of this one being dragged out with extra moments that do nothing for the film as a whole. It's not that important to witness every step of his journey into work from taking the freeway to the side-streets and walking to his desk or his date with her at the restaurant that goes on forever which really struggles to make this one become interesting at the very beginning. As well, there's also plenty of useless scenes inserted simply to add more time to the film as the boardroom meeting showing everyone individually applauding or trying to place all the useless environmental messages that are shoehorned into the film with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, and together these elements really hold back the action to the last half of the film and rarely gives this any kind of enjoyment whatsoever. The other big flaw is the lack of reasoning or rationale for anything that happens, from the start of the bird attacks to why items in their possession continually appear or reappear or why the film follows the same general storyline that makes it predictable. These here really do lower this one so significantly that it's just as awful as its reputation suggests.Rated R: Violence and Language.
