About This Movie

So, NOVR is one of those films that really immerses you in this chaotic world where Ashmal and Zack, these two soldiers, are just trying to survive amid an alien onslaught. The practical effects are surprisingly well done for a 2013 indie, giving a gritty feel that enhances the urgency of their quest. The pacing hits that sweet spot—fast enough to keep you engaged but with enough character moments to let you breathe. There’s this underlying theme of hope that contrasts nicely with the desperation of their situation. The performances aren’t Oscar-worthy, but they have a rawness that fits the tone. It’s one of those flicks that kind of crawls under your skin with its atmosphere and sense of impending doom. Not your usual space opera.
