This movie was very very good, we truly enjoyed it. Even though it is low budget and with unknown actors, it was well done and it entertaining. It is very rare to find a good low budget sci fi, extremely low budget if you compare it to any studio production, that is this good.

Great
Well directed low budget movie.
The Prototype is a fun action sci-if. It was made on a shoestring budget so it relies on the story and strong directing to carry it. The storyline, while not perfect, is strong enough to hold the interest of the audience throughout the movie. The camera angles and shot selection were used very effectively to build suspense and hold the audiences' attention.
The negatives with this film are mostly related to the budget. The main actors do a good job but some of the supporting characters aren't as strong. The special effects are good but limited by the budget.
This is Marcello Grion's first movie and he made it for around a million dollars, which which is practically unheard of. His direction of the Prototype shows that he is a talented emerging director who deserves your support. Compare this movie to the first film of nearly any heavyweight director and it compares very favorably. This is a quality effort and worthy of your time.
I would suggest ignoring the negative reviews which suspiciously all showed up at the same time, and give this movie a chance.
Back to the 80's!
I totally agree with the observations made by the critic. I really really really enjoyed this movie! I am 55 years old :)
"Now to be completely honest, when it comes to storyline, this movie is a bit over-convoluted and doesn't always make a lot of sense - but that said, at the same time the film is a really fun ride, with plenty of fistfights and shoot-outs, some quite decent effects work, and some fun costume choices. And not only in these costume choices but in everything, The Prototype is pretty much a perfect throwback to 1980s and 1990s macho action B-movies, where the physical always outweighed narrative finesse but everything was done to keep the audience entertained. And that's really what this movie does very well, it's basically a very enjoyable trip."
