I watched this ----
cekadah23 March 2020
---- but honestly I don't remember anything about it. No details or the plot. But I remember watching the whole movie. It's been maybe over a month since seeing it and typing these thoughts.

But I watched it!

Potential wasted
sini-20024 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The start was promising, but then.. something happened. It fell to the typical cliche gay love story plots, which by now we should be over with. The boyfriend having secret family, a wife and kids, well well well.. didn't surprise me. And other things: why was Isaac (and his sister and moms) childhood traumas never really talked? All seemed to be over as soon as they killed the father which was really weird resolving to the whole issue and never talked over. And then killing gay character and not giving him a happy ending? I didn't understand why we couldn't give them a happy ending.. Maybe not as a couple, but individuals. Mark (or Pat) didn't have to die, no matter what he did, he or Pat deserved it, or the child. Isaac's weird confrontation was so out of hand, why did he have the need to confront Mark when they were clearly not his issues? And he could have just visited them, you know, and not chase by cars which never ends well. The movie had a lot of potential, for sure, but thinking it's 2019 I still don't understand why they make movies where kill gays and give them not so happy endings, even if Isaac finally moved on.

Boring
fifahbarun4 July 2022
I don't get the feeling. This movie is bad; very awkward acting and conversation, unfortunate camera angles and background music that din't fit, and I felt like every scene was cut and put together just like that. No harmony, no feeling.

No! No! No!
hikeraz-2031015 June 2020
This movie is just bad; the acting; the editing; the directing; it is all just bad. Normally I enjoy indie films but this was so disjointed that it became a mess from nearly the start. Save your time and watch paint dry.

Bad movie, bad acting, bad stiry
cammic22 October 2019
Based on the high reviews, I was looking forward to seeing this movie. When I started watching this movie....I thought I must be watching the wrong movie. The main character was such a bad and wooden actor.... along with most of the other "actors". Its so bad, so badly acted and written and is so unbelievable.

Unwatchable
pauliecorleone-7262824 October 2019
Oh, this is just terrible. Even for an Eric Roberts movie this is just... offensive. I do hope René Mena is loaded in real life and isn't actually trying to make a living through acting because... oh, boy.

Eric Roberts, a guarantee for a bad movie.
deloudelouvain4 September 2020
Do not believe anybody that rates this movie with a perfect ten, they're probably related to somebody involved in this piece of garbage. From the first scene you already get that bad feeling this movie is going to be bad. It has that typical lousy piano music between every scene, that typical sound that is so common with bad television movies. Eric Roberts and Linda Gray (yes Sue Ellen from Dallas) are synonym for low rank actors in badly written movies and in this case it's no exception. I can't believe those two are supposed to attract potential viewers. Even if they're almost not present in this monstrosity they still manage to make my stomach turn. The rest of the unknown cast is cringing to watch. You wonder where they find such terrible actors. But the worst is the story, if you can call it that. It's supposedly inspired by true events, so you expect something special, but all you get is some lame gay story nobody cares about. And I have absolutely nothing against gays at all, so that's not even the issue. The issue is untalented writers that shouldn't be allowed to make movies so that we shouldn't waste our time with crap like this. Note to all the lousy directors: stop using that lame piano music between every scene, don't you see this will bring your catastrophy of a movie even more down?

Failed on so many levels
codygdietrich18 March 2020
Take coming out, finding oneself, double life, romance, heartbreak, childhood trauma and family problems and roll them all into one film that's only an hour and half long. The end result is a very disjointed with little to no real character development because the whole thing feels rushed. The camera work was a bit choppy and the stereotypical slightly above home movie level that a lot expect from indie movies at some points. The acting there were points I wasn't sure if they meant it to be that awkward or if it just came out that way. There were also points where the lead guy uses a what would be considered a common expression but his tone seemed to indicate he didn't understand why he was saying it. Combined with the scenes where the background is blacked out like it's not really happening yet it is happening.

I'm the end it felt like an amateur tried to take real events and create a movie but butchered it in execution.

Spoiler alert!

Warning: Spoilers
Always fun to watch a daring indie film, this one did not disappoint. Several twists in the film. In the end though, I felt that Isaac was selfish for his reckless action to try to force a confrontation that Tom didn't want to have. Isaac just needed to get over the heartbreak and move on.

AAA
mannynewman-2993427 October 2019
I am giving this movie triple AAA because I can see what they were trying to do and it touched me. I was able to relate to the story so much that hit home and it got me reliving some moments of my life that I thought I had forgotten. it's not a film for everyone because there is a lot going on but I personally loved it.

Not the best film I've seen.
wmrva24 October 2019
Prescience is not the best film I've seen. However, it touched me. I personally loved the story as well as the acting. I'm giving it a high rating because it's personal, unique and in my opinion one of the best lgbtq films I've seen in awhile. I really enjoyed it.

If you're not open minded don't even bother cuz you're in for a surprise.

I want to mention Linda Gray is the best thing on this film.

Prescience took me by surprise at the Las Vegas Film Festival. I enjoyed it very much. Beautiful love story with some brilliant acting. You'll be very happy you saw this cute little indie.

GREAT INDIE WITH AN INTERESTING TWIST.
dennismencia22 August 2019
I watched this film at their world premier in Richmond, VA and WOW. I enjoyed the story line, the acting and the producing. I thought Eric Roberts did an amazing job and Linda Gray and René Mena were great as well. The leads really carried this film. I highly recommend to go see it when it comes out in theater later this year. THIS IS NOT A GAY FILM. THIS IS A LOVE STORY!!

Infamous Prescience Has Arrived!
theernesto31 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I had been looking forward to this movie for a long time and I was not disappointed in the slightest. It was funny, heartfelt, and honest and it was perfect, this is beautiful, and very necessary! My favorite scene was by far René Mena's speech on the sofa that if you watched the movie, you probably know what I'm talking about. There are probably just a few little things I didn't like, especially some of the classic topics and stereotypes that this genre of film usually has, but still, it's amazing.

We need more films like this. Fun, heartwarming, and just fantastic all around. Whether you're gay, straight, or in between, you will absolutely love this indie movie!

Also, a reminder if this wasn't enough: Be yourself. Be happy. You deserve it.

The film I've been waiting for!
goalstoday-766-2488456 November 2019
I was not sure if it was worth paying the $5.99 to stream it but I absolutely loved it. It's just a great movie, and the subject matter happens to be gay. Isaac Smith takes us on a beautiful ride of self discover. It appeals to a wide variety of ages, genders, and sexual orientations! And the cast of the movie is diverse as well! Whether you're gay, straight, or undecided you will love it...or not. Don't take my word for it, go see it and write about it.

I watched this film at the Las Vegas FF and I was very impressed with the quality of the acting, lighting and the directing. Rene Mena who plays Isaac killed it. I also loved Eric Roberts as the father. Amazing performances. Very good indie. Go watch it

I didn't want to see this movie.
aj-resh0610 August 2019
I was afraid this would be just another gay movie. I was pleased to be completely wrong. I identified with Isaac. This movie deals with acceptance and real issues in today's society. Put this down as a feel good classic that will endure. I'm happy I went to see it at the Richmond International Film Festival.

This movie is the reason I enjoy cinema!
anthonydejames19 October 2019
We all have our place in the world, it can just take a little longer for certain people to decide on both who and what they want to be. Our formative years play a big part in the life we choose, as do the people and environments that surround us. Prescience is a quite exceptional piece of cinema that explores these ideas in such a wonderful and intimate manner.

Prescience is a bold coming-of-age drama from Rene Mena and James Helsing that has an important place in today's cinema, becoming a raw and powerful film that speaks volumes in today's climate through evocative performances and a strong narrative that might seem simple upon first viewing but certainly becomes more layered when you look back on it.

I enjoyed Prescience so much that I watched it three times last night.
