Code 8

This movie was awesome, original, and created from a shoestring budget short film. It blows away anything the top dogs in Hollywood have done in the past 5 years.

I was pleasantly surprised with this. The trailer really didn't do it justice and is the main reason why I didn't watch it the night it dropped. The only reason I gave it a shot was due to the cast. That being said, i rather enjoyed it! Good story with few, if any, gaps. Effects were good, action scenes solid, and the characters believable. Definitely worth the watch!

I’m surprised at the low ratings for this film, I thought it was excellent.

It’s a simple tale, told well.

Lots of action from start to finish, great acting and production etc.

It’s a 90 minute film, but it seemed to be over very quickly; which shows how involved I was in the story.

It’s different, not predictable and I loved the simplicity of the story.

Great film!

Honestly, this movie was pretty good. The story and visuals were engaging and there was plenty of action to keep things going. My biggest complaint is really just the ending. There was so much left unexplained and didn't quite make sense. If I were the producer of this, I would've looked at the script and said: "This needs to be a series, not a movie." That way there would be more sufficient character development and truly satisfying ending.

It's one of those generic movies that works perfectly, even though you know them from memory, it's entertaining, the Amells' acting is well done, the world in which the movie takes place is quite original and the powers sequences looks amazing. I really liked this one.

Pretty simple and classic, but entertaining and efficient. The concept is nothing revolutionary, but still a nice touch to it.

X-Men vibes on the society, obviously, but here the parallel is made between powered people and immigrant workers, rather crudely I would say. They do the job, probably better with their powers, but can only work illegally, are harassed by the cops, and society wants to ban them. The way it's shown, it's like they can only work illegally in construction or become criminals, maybe that's a bit too much.

If apparently some (with money I guess) can work legally, why aren't there mind readers in the police, healers in hospitals, firemen that can control fire, muscle ones in the army, etc, etc. I mean, rich people can have powered kids too, and I'm guessing they're not treated this way. Could have been interesting to see this aspect, though it probably didn't fit in the narrative. Also if there is no work left for powered people because of automation, what about regular people ?

Main story is rather standard, small heists, a bit of action, betrayal between criminals, nothing fancy. I somehow had the whole Nia storyline the second she appears and coughs, so not much originality here either.

The power effects, the drones and robots look good enough, action scenes are well done. Nothing crazy but nothing to complain about.

Liked it. There are probably some things that could have been done better but liked how it al end up.
Maybe a part two to tight up the loose ends?

Strangely, this movie is also listed here and has a higher rating. Maybe the admins could amalgamate the 2 for accuracy.

I liked that movie!

Its a simple story which doesn't get to overstretched nor doesn't it have parts where it gives a feeling to be partially uninteresting or even boring.

Of course there's flaws and things that could have been better done... I definitely don't deny that

All together it's a simple flick with a moderate storyline in a futuristic/sci-fi set
Everyone who likes this kind of genre it's worth to give it a try
