Nerds That Geek Movie Review: ‘Nocturne Six’

Written by Scott Edwards

​There are amazing things that people are able to do, if they put their minds to it. While I don’t buy into psychics, there have been some occasions where it seems some people have been able to see the future with their minds. Using this power to better the world is what I would like to see come from these amazing people, but most of them use their gifts to make money. As I might be scorned against these folks, I should have known the personal risks involved in talking to them, since I knew deep down that the outcome of what they had to say might not be what I wanted it to be, but someday I may try again, for the sheer fact of finding out what other secrets they believe the world might be planning for me.

Bringing to light the Nocturne program that the government has been trying to hide from the public for many years, a news station was able to secure some of the footage from one of the groups. Being able to interview one of the agents that was part of the program, they find out that people with special abilities have been recruited to protect the world from threats on parallel planes. Being able to neutralize these threats before they become real, the news story seems to be something out of the Twilight Zone, but the footage shows something much more real than anyone would like to admit.

Four Guardians have been recruited to the Nocturne Six station, yet none of them fully understand what they are doing there. Getting an upfront briefing about what they are supposed to do while in the employment of the government, none of them can understand the scope of what they are going to be doing. Not being allowed to know who they are working with, they are all given Guardian names, Blue, Green, Brown and Orange to keep their minds free of questions about one another. With plenty of money being paid out to these individuals, they are willing to give the parallel plane thing a go but have no idea what they are going to find.

Being able to choose a plane for the group to practice in, the stress on the Guardians traveling to the different planes is starting to show. As Blue has been appointed team leader, he is not ready for what that entails when everyone does not appear in the alternate plane at the same location. Always needing to find the other members is stressful enough, but when communication with their handlers fades out, the only way they can return home is by completing the mission. As their third mission comes about, NS003 becomes a thing of nightmares and the group is not prepared for what is awaiting them, but the only thing they can do is complete the mission and hope for the best or they will never see their home again.

Interesting concept as you get to see a couple of different planes of existence. I liked how the group slowly started to come together, but it was the Guardians that really made the movie overall. It’s just fascinating to watch them as they all must deal with their own issues since traveling to different planes of existence starts to affect them in different ways. I also liked how the news crew is trying to prove that what you are seeing is real, going so far as to put a reporter in the old bunker that matches up with the videos they are showing, but sadly they have very little in the way of physical evidence. With plenty of jump scares, an unsettling video, uniformed Guardians, the existence of different planes and a mission gone wrong, this movie just opens your eyes to what else could be out there that we know next to nothing about. It has planted the seed in the back of my mind, that if I ever get a high paying government job to ask all the questions about what I will be doing when they offer me a massive boost to my bank account. Stay Scared.
