This movie shows in actual how the "red dust" agent infects humans and turns them into "collectives", losing their individualism in the process, pretty much wet dream of all dictators everywhere, marxists, socialists, communism, islamists, all favour dictatorial methods of controlling huge masses of people aka collectivism, forcing the world their way or death for any who refuses to let themselves be collectivised aka BORG.

Collectivists, marxists, socialists, communists, islamsits, all SUCKS big time.

They little realises the WEALTH every individual brings to everyone... yet they prefers to kill of every individual and forces everyone into slavery, just so they can indulges in their wet dream of controlling everyone at their beck and call.

Petty tyrants all, total losers.

Good movie, anyways. Hopes there's a follow up of an infection agent that forcefully individualises all the collectivists thus they all wakes up from the sick dream of collectivism, lol.

Agent was a pretty good sci-fi to watch during a lazy rainy afternoon. Nothing ground breaking, but the simple story and competent production kept me interested and entertained. I thought most of the actors performed well, especially Marikah Cunningham as Angela. The only actor that I felt wasn't up to par was Joe Fidler as Capt. Linden. That scene with him sitting against the vehicle tire was painfully brutal to watch as he awkwardly attempted to deliver his lines (stick to stunts Joe). Props to Derek Ting for writing, directing, and starring in this better than average sci-fi action thriller. Looking forward to watching the sequel next. I would recommend this movie to those that enjoy a decent low-budget sci-fi flick.

The film opens with a wild commentary about "swarm intelligence" and how these ant-like qualities were needed to build ancient monuments. All controlled by "they." Jim Yung (Derek Ting) has migraines. His recent termination allows him to go out into the desert shooting with his two old Chicago University friends and not a set up, Kara (Olivia Hultgren) a personable young woman with a U-Tube following. She feels she needs to apologize when she doesn't make a daily upload. Oddly, she doesn't own a selfie stick. While shooting they release a red CG vapor and things happen to tie into the opening commentary. Jim is immune to the effects because he wrote, directed, and produced the film...and also gets migraines.

The first 20-30 minutes is character build-up followed by some shooting and then Jim being on the screen in a combative role saving the planet from "they" for much of the rest of the feature . I had two issues with the film. First off the plot was silly. I am not an ancient astronaut guy and only tolerate the theory when accompanied by high-tech special effects and major league stars or Kurt Russell. The second problem is that Derek Ting can't act well enough to carry a film. His film presence is weak. On the plus side, he was able to direct scenes. He managed to get fairly good camera angles and appropriate close ups for much of the film placing it above the found footage genre and early Polonia Brothers productions in the nuts and bolts area.
