Just poor.Some redeeming features were that the underwater CGI wasn't too bad. That said, they weren't very good either. Rapid cuts from the depth charge explosions were evidence of the lack of budget.This and other cuts could be forgiven if the storyline was compelling. Sadly, it wasn't.**Possible spoilers** The worst aspect of the movie, however, was the characterisation and acting. There wasn't a single sympathetic actor in the movie, certainly no one I'd want to identify with. The closest was the Navy officer and the German uBoat enemies, who at least looked and sounded convincing. The "hero" and ex-wife were particularly off-putting.After over two hours! I really didn't care if they lived or died. Not a good sign.

Being a former submarine sailor, I was intrigued by the title and cover. So, on a whim, it entered my shopping cart. After watching this garbage last night, I wish I had left it on the shelf at the store.They portray Lionfish as being locked up and sealed, yet there are features one would find on active museum ships that allow tourists below decks to keep them from doing touristy things.This film reeks of SyFy imagined theatrics. Poorly lit, even considering that it was filmed inside Lionfish, it shows people who, with two possible exceptions, are completely unfamiliar with submarine operations.Give this one a very wide berth. After watching this film, U-571 is actually believable!

the way it ends makes no sense and they don't even try to offer up an explanation since there is possible way that a sub stuck in 1943 and on the bottom with no batteries in 200ft of water could possibly magically end up back in 2014 and above water where some guy opens their hatch and climbs down into the sub and then gives back a tablet computer which still powers up after 40 years when my tablet won't power up after three years on same battery. He then claims that the info on this tablet allowed them to win WW2 which as I remember we already won when we dropped the bomb in japan twice... and the laptop had no mention of atomic bomb or physics or whatever. I mean most time travel movies stretch the suspension of disbelief but they all follow simple time travel do's and don't which this movie's writer apparently never took note of... and the characters in this movie were all never developed or even established at all, not to mention the poor dialog which as I already mentioned could have been written by a 10 year old for a one night homework assignment to be generously rewarded with a C- if the teacher was in a generous mood or perhaps an illiterate. I gave this movie 1 star because I couldn't give it a half star or a quarter star which is what it deserves. Don't waste your time with this movie unless you need lessons on how not to write a screenplay or what not to do when making a movie about time travel. It doesn't even deserve this lengthy write-up which is far more entertaining than the movie itself if I do say so myself.

Having seen some of the reviews on IMDb for this film i felt compelled to redress the balance. I have followed the trials and tribulations of this movie over the course of the last 12 months through Facebook and have learnt an appreciation for the art of film making. Is Subconscious going to win an Oscar? No but when comparing it to the current crop of films that make up the current box office charts this little movie had a lot going for it. The score is brilliant and the performances of the cast leave little doubt about the dedication to the cause that they all had. Is there a De Niro in Raging Bull performance here? Of course not but that doesn't mean that the performances in Subconscious aren't heartfelt and believable. The story is both interesting and easy to follow which in the genre of time travel is not an easy thing to pull off. The camera work is great especially given the confined space in which most of the film is shot and the finished project is attestament to the drive, energy and unfaltering passion that writer/director Georgia Hilton has for this project.In a world of crappy Hollywood tripe such as 50 Shades we should all be alluding the hard work of those with a story to tell and the wherewithal to get their vision out into the world. Give Subconscious a go, you never know you might just enjoy it 😊
