Okay, let’s get this thing back on the road. The post con ennui hit me strong, mostly due to the fact that my social anxiety kicked up again. Which was why I was originally not going to come to the con this year after my brain glitched out in a similar fashion last year. But I couldn’t miss at least showing up for the last Bronycon. I’ll probably comment on my experience at the con here and there to fill up intro paragraphs over the next week or so.
The Kaos Brief
Alien found footage. A few key differences from other ones I’ve watched. This one was a bit more expansive, not just one camera on a hiking trip, but from several cameras from a social media video blogger. Also gets points for having a gay relationship between two guys as part of the cast. A bit cliche though. Pretty much hitting all the alien conspiracy checklist. So much so that there wasn’t any real narrative coherence. I’d describe this as a millennial who is a real big fan of the X-Files made a found footage movie. This movie also had some pretty bad camera work. The thing is, it was consistent enough that it might have been intentional? Hard to say with something like this. Bad shots because the people making the movie aren’t good, or because they want the characters to be not very good at it?
