A World Away

I did not enjoy the movie as much as I expected. The story went everywhere with some characters placed for no reasons at all. They could have done a lot better, in the delivery but they just had too many loop holes. Mostly, I was disappointed by the ending.

According to my rating strategy : Story : 1/2, Task fulfillment : 0/1, Directing, Cinematography and Soundtrack : 0.5/2, Wow Factor : 0/1, Cast : 0.5/2, Viewer : 1/2

Don't waste your time with this awful movie. Bad special effects, bad acting, stupid story. I would rather stab myself with a fork than watch this movie again.

Horrible special effects. The film was clearly very low budget. At one point you could hear the kids hitting their mics. There was a part with this glowing demon dog, but then it didn't show it again in the movie. It made you think there was going to be more to the story but it was poorly connected and the acting was probably better from the kids than from the adults. My kids and I agree that it was weird and a waste of time. Time for bed...

As usual, the critics here are bellyaching about the lack of effects. Does no one have any depth to just sit back and listen/watch a story? Have you become that shallow and lacking in imagination that effects are all that matters?

That is the foundation of the story from the first scene; story telling the old fashioned way. I only wanted one child to die, but I'm sure everyone wanted the same thing. Overall the movie like like a youth's book. A story to relax and read.

It is not perfect, and geared for kids which is probably for the best as there are still some children in the world with an imagination.

I won't critique the film because the flaws are not important. The brainwaves of the critics IS the problem.

7.1??? This is so bad, everything, acting, story, script, special effects, etc, that it seems to me that they made it bad on purpose.

If you don't believe me, try and watch it. See if you can last more than 10 minutes.
