One Shot

Personally I did not enjoyed the movie. You do not have to wrap your mind around this one that the movie is crap, so no I will not watch it again. That's a really good film, someone wrote, well he or she must be a relative or something. When I first watched One Shot review on IMDb it had a 5.6 score now 2 days later it is on 3.6 oh yeah the complete crew and family had voted, not to stupid a 10 no just a 5-6, no one will notice. I voted 1 because I could not vote less, too bad. There is no trailer, sure how to make a trailer of of nothing, it would have been nice, now I spend one hour on nothing. Someone wrote, I enjoy watching for bloopers, objects that should not be present such as tire tracks in westerns, etc. If they were present in this film I missed them, so do I but this movie, sorry my mind was at different places. Now you are warned do not use your time or money on this piece of junk.

This movie is a bad sniper movie and an even worse science fiction movie. It looks cheap in all aspects. The CGI looks cheap and makes no sense at all. The bombardment scene in the beginning is a joke (a building collapsing like being demolished by carefully set explosive devices). The animations of vehicles look like SF games from the 90s.

The costumes and weaponry are 90s Earth, on both sides (alien side too!). They did not even try to make them look different. Only the firing sound comes out of a PC and sounds just like that. The effects of bullet hits are erratic, sometimes solid rock explodes, sometimes a helmet face get's cut off as clean as with a laser torch, guy inside totally unharmed. Then suddenly, the "hero" starts running through enemy lines without any cover and takes them all out firing a pistol. Needless to say, that none of them shooting assault rifles hit him seriously, they already spent their luck moments before, cutting down his entire unit without resistance.

The sniping techniques are beginners at best, most of the stuff shown is only show and has no real use. The reticules are fantasy style and use blurry hexagons to make shooting even harder.

The movie has zero story. A few screens showing you beautiful young women try to tell you the basics of what has happened. Humans went to an alien inhabited planet and started a war. The "aliens" look 100% identical to humans (yeah, budget i know) wearing turquoise contact lenses. They speak in a rough makeup language producing metallic and static sounds that make no sense (no, they are not cybernetics). They wear black (evil color) suits and metal helmets that look a bit like a knight's helmet meets Darth Vader.

The whole movie,yes the whole movie, is made up of scenes where the protagonists runs away, hides, sets up to snipe a few of his pursuers, then continues. Ah, and a few scenes on board a mysterious military station in orbit where officers watch and comment his actions but do NOTHING to help him.

Finally he meets the damsel in distress, an alien woman, confronts a fellow human soldier (he must defeat him in close combat obviously) and get's saved by his enemy, the alien sniper because he showed mercy and compassion to the atrocities done to the aliens by humans (his comrades).

The whole movie was an excuse to show someone use a sniper rifle (wrongly).

If you are looking for a science fiction movie, skip it. If you are looking for a sniper movie, look further. Nothing else to be seen here. Overrated Miss Aiden doesn't add anything to the movie, even trying to look good is a pain here.

One can only hope that the director will not raise any further money via Kickstarter to undertake another adventure into the realms of movie making. This movie was not even well-meant. If it was a student's first full movie attempt...no, even then it would disappoint.

It is so obvious the 'bad Aliens' are supposed to represent Muslims.. the ethnicity of the actors who play the parts of the aliens are of middle-eastern descent or closely resemble Arabs and middle-eastern. The way the female alien and the leader of the aliens are dressed clearly resembles that of tribes men and women. In my opinion whoever made this movie had an agenda... and it was anti-Muslim. Before anyone gets the idea I am Muslim and I am being over sensitive.. think again, I am an atheist and as far as I am concerned all religions are ridiculous. But what is even more ridiculous is someone making such a cringeworthy and obvious piece of anti-Muslim propaganda. To make things worse, it is a dreadful story line, really bad dialogue, poor production quality and badly acted. Watch it and decide for yourself.

I started to watch this lame excuse for a film on GREAT movies action on UK Freeview as I just needed an evening vegging out after a hard day at work. However, I was unable to relax as this film - called Sniper Elite in the UK - is woeful and irritatingly so. I enjoy trashy alien movies such as Cowboys vs Aliens. At least in that film they made and effort to make the alien soldiers look extra-terrestrial. The costume manager for this film probably got a job lot of SWAT uniforms at an army surplus store. The rest of the budget was probably spent on half a dozen tubes of Colgate blue gel toothpaste for the aliens' blue blood; a few cans of industrial black paint for the plywood set masquerading as the interior of a space station; some bedsheets out of which to make Arabic looking costumes for the non-military aliens. I doubt anything was spent on the cast as they had very little to do, except run around or look sincere/intense. To save the money spent on the army surplus gear and toothpaste the producers appear to have done away with the need for a screenwriter and director and let the actors ad lib lines. Of course, the aliens speak English/American. You know what? This film doesn't even deserve to have viewers wasting their time writing a review let alone watching this drivel. I actually gave up after 50 minutes. It's right down there with Jaws, The Revenge as one of the worst films I've ever seen.

I just watched it on Netflix. It's OK. The sci-fi part, I agree with some reviews, is not really present apart from the space station which doesn't play any interesting part in the movie.

It is slow at the beginning, I had to watch it with subs so the alien's translations could appear.

I liked the story, there is one indeed. The end is good too. Lots of killing, the alien race is rubbish at combat, it's almost boring to see them killed like mosquitos. The special effects aren't that creative but overall it was OK.
