BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

dtp11 A "no-frills, lots-of-thrills" film. WEB might as well stand for "Well Executed Biography". Tells the story of Johnny Depp, the hacker, saving world from an asteroid set on a path for earth due to a critical error made by Bill Gates.The kissing scene was breathtaking. Unfortunately, it didn't win an official award, but it officially awarded my heart with some lovely emotions."Move over Charlotte, there's a new web in town" -Roger Ebert, Circa 2013

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "The Web" is a 3-minute live action short film from 2013, so this one will have its 5th anniversary next year. Writer, director and lead actor is Nathan Fielder from Nathan for You, but honestly the character he portrays in this film adds absolutely nothing story-wise. The plot is about Bill Gates messing around too much with his programs and the consequence is a huge asteroid being on its course to destroy Planet Earth. But luckily, Bruce Willis is not needed this time as a Johnny Depp look-alike has great PC skills too. I would say it is a transcendence reference, but this one here came out a year earlier actually. The only question who stayed up in the air for me eventually was why this got made. Comedy is the only genre this film aspires to be something in and it was not particularly funny. Even at 3 minutes a waste of time mostly and honestly everybody in here added more than Fielder did, especially the (sadly uncredited) cute ginger girl early on. Overall a thumbs-down from me for this short. Don't watch.

Fogel McLovin I was one of the lucky few to see this film at the Eastern LA International Film Festival. The film - an action drama with hints of many of the greats (Stan Kubrick, Dennis Dugàn...) - it is clear to see this screenplay was first of its kind.Set in an altruistic future - where a brilliant programmer has to hack a rebarbative asteroid Fielder has imagined the effect on a group of shoppers. Johnny Depp is in his best since 'Lady Blue'; in one of his most memorable performances to date. The chemistry between the characters was nothing but expeditious and the final act held so much drama and thrill that it is easy to see why this film is the award winning film it was advertised to be. After seeing the previous documentary-exposé ("Me Farting on Command") the atmosphere in the room was palpable (one doesn't want to throw the word glacé around too much!) To anyone who has seen Johnny Depp's earlier work and liked his classics - 'Dead Men Tell No Tales', 'Untitled Short; I seriously recommend this parfois to modern action. This movie is a romp and a riot and a goof and also a gaff.A perfect film - 6/10 -McLovin, Fogel

Sindre Andersen My girlfriend often says the main problem with Hollywood (among many) is that it seems to have a skill to bury interesting thoughts. Screenplay writers, directors, and producers base their films on fresh and intriguing ideas; however, by the end of almost any modern movie, they become completely exhausted and the audience can always predict the finale.The atmosphere of the film is impressing, especially in the beginning, when it shocks viewers with its novelty. Action scenes, due to the use of illusionists' tricks, also look impressive. But closer to the middle of the movie the tension weakens, and then simply fades away. The creators of "The Web" managed to intrigue the audience, but failed to sustain it; the finale was predictable.
