The movie started out cool, for the first ten minutes, but then got steadily boring with predictable, pov, trite sophomoric "humor" for tge next twenty+ minutes, to the point that I was eye-rolling contantly. Tried to keep going, but the apple-chewing scene did me in. I had enough. Pretty disappointed...but it was Netflix, so pretty standard fare.

Hated the filming, hated the acting, hated the dialogue. At least there were some cool shots of Jerusalem. Avoid this movie at all costs. You will be absolutely annoyed with the last 30 minutes, and that's not to say the rest of it was any good. It wasn't.

This starts of with an introduction of video glasses and their profound technology, which only tries to explain why this movie is going to make you throw up. Why the glasses were made, used, or given to the the main star is probably because she is hideous. It uses a first person "found footage" film perspective, which is so overused by horror movies now. Then it gets even more cliché by not giving any sort of character study. Instead, two generic American girls go to Israel and "JeruZalem"... lame. They meet guys, party, and have dumb conversations. Finally, when an actual plot is introduced, elements of other movies start to run their course. Take Cloverfield, Blair Witch, Rec, and blurry images of "I am Legend" and then make it abominable, to the point where all the good aspects of those movies are ruined by terrible acting, low budget effects, zero reasoning, and predictable direction. Don't wast your time. There aren't any redeemable aspects, nor are there any interesting or pretty stars.

Two Jewish American girls en route to Tel Aviv are tempted into an adventure in the old city of Jerusalem, where unexpected happenings ... happen.All filmed in first person POV through smart-glasses, which allows clever character introductions and neat exposition. The contrast between suburban blandness and the exotic hostel experience of the old stone city is really good, and the mix of cultures feels rich. After that it falls flat in a heartless mash up of Cloverfield, As Above So Below, Grace: The Possession, a bit of zombie fiddling, with some asylum spookiness thrown in, and all without establishing its own myth.The writing goes off the rails at the same time as the protagonist, when she insists on rescuing her boyfriend, and then insists on rescuing her girlfriend, then spends the rest of the movie whimpering right into your ear. And the subplot with the father is completely ditched.Loved the music, especially the brass in the niteclub. The decision to distort the lens in the final 15 mins - things have changed! - was irritating.Overall: engaging start, not so much with the way it developed.
