Higher Power: Tries too hard to be a Hollywood Blockbuster

Ever wonder what happened to Mickey Bunce from Drop Dead Fred? (1991) No me neither, but here he is as the lead of this science fiction epic and he's twice the man he used to be *Ahem*It tells the overly convoluted tale of a man struggling to keep his family together after his wifes passing only to find himself dragged into a plot that could mean the beginning or the end of mankind.It's an interesting creature, it really wants to be a Hollywood blockbuster but just doesn't quite have the budget. Because of this the movie flits between looking fantastic and looking like someone just bought a copy of Adobe After Effects.The plot is certainly original but falls apart and gets a bit silly by the end. In fact to be entirely honest by the 2/3 mark I think they were winging it and it simply didn't have quite the structure it did until that point. It's like they were given a fascinating concept but someone forgot to give them an ending.For it's originality alone Higher Power deserves praise and had this been given a sizeable budget, better writers and erm.....maybe better cast this might have been something quite special. There is definetly something there, but whatever it was is sadly neutered, stripped for parts and kicked down some stairs. Poor lil beggar.The Good:Some great sfxVery originalThe Bad:Some poor sfxNothing quite fits togetherEven the usually excellent Colm Feore seemed to be phoning it inThings I Learnt From This Movie:Gods are man made, oh wait no already knew thatMickey Bunce ate Phoenix Cates!

Way better than expected

Watched this on Amazon Prime. A low budget Sci-fi movie with an original premise, that not only surprised me, but kept me interested throughout. Considering the budget, the effects were very good, the acting was fine, but the plot was brilliant. I wouldn't be surprised to see this being remade by a Hollywood studio. Well done.
