steven-loontjens-94-440406 I've been waiting a few years before watching this movie, because I wasn't sure I would like it. When they showed it on TV recently I picked it up and decided to give it a shot. I didn't find it entirely bad, but it's not a great movie either. Special effects aren't super good but because this is a rather low budget British sci-fi movie, I don't mind that. What I really enjoyed though and is worth mentioning, is the soundtrack! There are some scenes that are better due to the music!

rexferal11-856-669191 There seem to be far too many negatives immediately attached to a film just because it was made on a "low budget." It is as though costs alone represent the film's value. Today, very good movies can be made at remarkably low cost due to the broad availability of high quality HDV cameras, the lessened need for extensive lighting setups, reduced space for sets and equipment, and the ease of mobility from place to place. Additionally, skill bases such as Cinematographer, Camera Operator and Director can be combined into one person as can other skills. The result is a need for fewer crew members. There is an abundance of extremely good, easy to use, digital editing and special effects software one can use at home or office. The number of people who have gained film skills, from pre-production through post, is extraordinary. All this saves money. What is left is how well those film makers spent it and the end result.Storage 24 is an example of talented people doing just that. They've managed to make a suspenseful sci-fi thriller with some class. It is entertaining - and, in the end, isn't that what it's all about?Storage 24 has a good script by Noel Clarke, a capable Director in Johannes Roberts, and solid production values. The cinematography, by Tim Sidell, is commendable, as is the editing by Martin Brinkler. The dialogue, though not worthy of Shakespeare as some would demand, is believable. The acting is realistic and not over the top as in many films - Noel Clarke, Colin O'Donoghue and Ned Dennehy offer solid performances. The special effects are good while not saturating the film. The creature is… well, a very scary creature.All in all, this is a well made film, with an interesting story line. I recommend it… but lay aside any assumptions you may have about "low budget" films.

andrea-vitello I saw the trailer by chance and decided to see this movie with some good expectations. The acting seemed to be not bad and for the first 30 minutes I found myself thinking that this movie was a lucky discovery. Unfortunately the promises made by a well shoot trailer and by some good scene at the beginning are not followed by an adequate development. In my opinion this movie falls deeply around minute 40, from that moment on it reveals some major script problem, it is not clear whether the movie wants to make you laugh or thrill, and unfortunately it fails both. Another black mark consists of the music, which is almost always inappropriate and contributes in letting the premises of the trailer down.

suite92 A few people are at a storage facility when odd things start happening. One man looks out at his car to see that a large turbine engine has fallen on it. One theory is that a jet broke up in the sky and the pieces crashed.Mark and Charley drive to the storage, and just barely get in. Charley is sad about the break up with Shelley. Shelley and her friend Nikki are at the storage. The maintenance engineer manages to screwup the circuitry of the gates on the storage just before the monster kills him. So no one can get out right away, or any time soon.Shelley does not want to talk to Charley, and is having an affair with Mark. Charley and Nikki are both surprised, and not in a good way. Soon enough they know they are trapped, and that something murderous is in there with them. Also present are Chris, from earlier in the day, and David, who more or less lives in the storage facility.When the monster breaks through the door that they counted on to protect them, Chris runs and gets killed by the monster. David shows them his setup for getting multiple newscasts. The military is all over the place in London.The five (Charley, Mark, Shelley, Nikki, David) who remain send Charley and Mark to traverse the ventilation tubes to steal weapons ('acquire' I suppose) from storage lockers not rented by them. That goes well until the monster blocks Charley; he gets separated from Mark.Will any of them get out alive? Will the authorities come to the rescue, what with tanks patrolling the streets of London?-------Scores-------Cinematography: 6/10 The monster was a classic main-in-the-rubber suit, but not all that well done. Camera work was fine.Sound: 7/10 If one gets the volume for conversation to be correct, the bump in the night sounds are enormously too loud.Acting: 4/10 Antonia Campbell-Hughes, Laura Haddock, and Noel Clarke were just terrible. Colin O'Donaghue was barely OK, while Ned Dennehy was the best.Screenplay: 5/10 Short on plot as well as short on acting to implement the plot. The stupid man-in-rubber-suit monster just turned me off to the story almost as much as the acting. When the monster does not get killed by the fireworks, I'm not surprised, but why was the nearby Shelley OK?
