Elevation Reviews
It's a witty and occasionally exciting piece of entertainment that, nevertheless, never quite takes off. [Full review in Spanish]
Elevation barely camouflages its uniformity and lack of personality as a work that only aspires to be a catalog staple. [Full review in Spanish]
The set pieces involving a ski lift, a mining complex, and an abandoned city block are well-shot and accompanied by a punchy musical score.
No one's going to fear the reapers in Elevation, a dumb, grossly derivative blast of lazy sci-fi schlock barely managing to reconfigure borrowed story elements enough to avoid blatant creative appropriation.
For a movie that plays out in such a lovely rugged landscape, everything else about it is flatter than a tortilla under tank treads.
Should appeal to fans of the “move/make a sound and you’re dead” genre thrillers like A Quiet Place. The genre hasn’t been pillaged completely so a film like Elevation with a likable cast and inspired director can provide plenty of thrills and excitement.
... This thrifty, competent sci-fi isn’t the worst you’ll see this year. But it lacks the imagination and, indeed, the thrills, to sit alongside the best.
…bland and anonymous, expensively assembled, forgettable in the long run…Elevation plays out like a video game; exposition, race and chase, exposition, race and chase, denouement…it's about as good as 65, which is to say, not good at all...
Smartly and tightly edited to arrive as a well-paced 91 minute monster mash, although relatively formulaic, the promise of the premise and Mackie and Baccarin’s charm manages to keep hope alive.
Mackie and Baccarin are fully committed, Colorado looks gorgeous and there's no denying that fighting giant bugs looks cool.
Prospective future instalments might want to aim higher than mere competency.
This is, though, an efficient, no-nonsense monster romp that – while it’s pretty derivative plot-wise – is eminently watchable.
…The poor quality of the special effects, the inability to record the narrative … and, above all, its fixation on exclusively using recycled ideas means that neither the action nor the suspense of the film are very effective. [Full review in Spanish]
The plot is solid and character-driven, the actors are both talented and giving it their all, and for a lower-budget movie it delivers on both the monsters and the effects. I can’t get away from its conventionality, though, from its competent ordinariness
The creatures look good, the cast anchors it well, and there’s clearly much more to the world than we see in this iteration… The biggest weakness is that it reads far too bluntly like so many films that have gone before.
A briskly paced post-apocalyptic action thriller.
Elevation is a misleading title for a movie with below-average storytelling. This sci-fi action flick (which takes place during an Earth apocalypse caused by giant creatures) has competent acting but is substandard in everything else.
I guess the creature design is interesting, but it doesn’t come close to making Elevation anything close to compelling.
Mackie, Baccarin and Hasson all give strong performances in this film. The interplay of these three characters is the strongest part of this movie, and is the real heart of this story. This is really a suspense movie, combined with a character study.
I do have a bit of a soft heart for it [the film], but it is kinda of a Quiet Place rip-off/derivative.
