Altitude Falling

Synopsis:

In Altitude Falling it’s the year 2029, and everyone has been injected with a chip that is used to track people’s movements, jobs and political memberships. Greg helped invent it, but now he’s in the mountains living a quiet life…that is until he meets, and falls in love with, the adorable, and very young, Danny. Horrified at the abuse of his invention, Greg moves to a small mountain town and falls in love with Danny. After landing his lover a government job, Greg discovers that Danny will soon be embarking on a mission that he won’t be coming back from. Now, in order to save Danny, Greg will have to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Quick Thoughts:

I’ve yet to find anyone able to pull of the cinematic “hat trick” of writing, directing, and starring in a film – and it certainly is not Paul Bright for this travesty! The unfortunate bit is that I actually found the core premise of the plot promising. But the poor writing, abysmal acting (or over-acting) and too many major plot holes ruined the film – even for a low-budget indie film. And while I usually am not one to shy away from a gay romance, the connection between Greg and Danny was way too “familial” and awkward. Altitude Falling is one of the reasons I watch and provide my thoughts on queer films – so that you don’t have to watch the crappy ones. Save yourself the time – watch something else.
