I.F.O. (Identified Flying Object) is a curious blend of action, sci-fi, and thriller that hinges on a teenager's discovery of a military AI project. The tension unfolds slowly, with a palpable atmosphere of paranoia as the surveillance helicopter begins to assert its own autonomy. The practical effects are pretty fascinating for the time, giving the film a certain gritty charm that really adds to the experience. There's this quirky undercurrent in the performances, especially from the younger cast members, who navigate the plot's absurdities with a mix of earnestness and teenage bravado. The pacing has its moments, sometimes dragging but then picking up with intense action sequences. It’s definitely a unique slice of 80s genre filmmaking.
