Stupid humans are played by aliens again

This title might kill Matt a bit, but...so be it, maybe it has nothing to do with the comments.
In the first issue of "SFW", I mentioned the so-called low-cost brain-burning film, and mentioned such a (but it seems to be a negative textbook?), so I looked for it.
This is a Sundance participating film, low cost, so I have to play with the concept.
The three young men tracked the signal of a provocative hacker and somehow entered a weird research institute. Then there was a weird and somewhat horrifying story.
It mainly involves the legendary Area 51, which is related to aliens and so on. I remember it was once very popular, right? So does the old research institute in the protagonist's mouth have a retro taste? But don't understand, don't say anything.
A few young people are fine, the black uncle plays well, a few small fresh pictures are good, the soundtrack is good, New Balance is bright, the atmosphere of the institute is good, and there is a sense of horror.
The focus is actually on the concept of Area 51, just like the male second discovered that they are guinea pigs and alien test subjects. This hypothesis is also confirmed as the plot unfolds until the mystery is revealed: what kind of manipulator, the machine retreats. Bionics (Does android take electric sheet?) The big space station.... In the film, some foreshadowings are designed, such as the weird research institute, the obnoxious old lady fat man, etc., which should be hints.
However, the whole story seems to have a sense of drug abuse by the director and the scriptwriter. Aside from the entire setting, the whole is still slightly thin. In some places, I feel that the momentum is wrong and cannot be restored in time... In short, the movie has a feeling of missing something, a kind of Believe, but can't fully believe the sense. The whole film is basically bet on the last few minutes, won't it go too far?
However, since Sundance is the stage for independent filmmakers to perform, it is expected that they will bring other outstanding movies!

New Balance takes you to fly!

    I still like the soundtrack of the film, especially the soothing sound of the piano, but after reading the story, it makes people feel inexplicable and the existence and role of the characters are also a problem. Like the woman who picked them up on the road was a robot? What do you bring back to the lab? Did not explain. The truth is revealed at the end, but is this an alien? Some lenses are good alone, and the photography is fresh. 5.1

    I don't understand it, I understand it after reading the explanation, but the heroine hasn't introduced it yet.
