Undergods (2020) follows various people in Europe and their stories of the downfall of their lives, the film is set in the dystopian society that follows. This film has a fairly unique premise but just really didn't follow it through in an effective way. I was very disappointed with this one, there wasn't much to it and I really wasn't sure what it was supposed to be about.
The camerawork was fairly basic, but luckily I did like a lot of the visual aspects of this movie. The practical effects looked good and were pretty realistic, also the colour scheme was nice at times. There was a good mix of cooler and warmer palettes but the film had a intriguing gloomy look all throughout.
The acting was mainly good, which ended up being a shame because the characters were all somewhat boring. Harry interested me, he was mysterious and I wanted to know more about him, but the film didn't give his story enough time to be developed so his character was over way too quickly. The rest of the characters were forgettable, and the dialogue was odd and felt poorly written.
The score was alright, it wasn't anything too special but it had a nice sci-fi feel too it and set the mood well. I just wish it could have been a little more unique. The sound design was way too chaotic however, and really drew me out of my immersion and just ended up irritating me in the end.
The structure was messy and confusing, it took me embarrassingly long to realise that the film was somewhat of an anthology. I feel like the film could've been a lot smoother with tying the stories together for it to actually make sense, I couldn't tell where each story began and ended! Not to mention, the stories felt like they were cut short. Also, the movie was quite dull and hard to pay attention to. It just had no driving force and I ended up getting easily distracted while watching.
