Sam and Colby: The Legends of the Paranormal

I've been watching Sam and Colby for almost 10 years now, so of course i'm going to love anything they put out. Although they had plenty of hilarious cheesy jokes, this film was leaning more on the serious side than their normal content. It had an overall deeper meaning and was focusing more on the historical aspect of things and sadly I did notice not many people in the theater were as invested as I was due to it mostly being a younger audience. Some people were on their phones, some people were talking the whole time, and there was even someone sleeping next to me. So if you have a short attention span and you're not that into the historical side of the paranormal, maybe this movie isn't for you. I personally enjoyed the movie and felt very moved. I have always viewed Sam and Colby to be very talented and genuine people when it comes to creating content, so I can't wait to see what else they accomplish/create. Great job guys!

I thought it was similar to all their youtube videos. Most of the 1 star reviews are very over dramatic. Yes there were some ai images and clips but not any more then they put in all their normal videos. Going off the reviews I was expecting to see the ai more than Sam and Colby themselves which obviously was not true. Also some people believed that they were disrespecting the land and native americans which i did not think happened. Yes they did cause that little explosion which is a bit disrespectful but they were trying to get attention and didn't have rude intentions. It wasn't on the scarier side like most of their videos but if you're actually a fan you'll enjoy it.

Why on earth is bad Youtube channel content being shown at the movie theater? Forget my money, I want my wasted time back. I can't believe someone thought showing Youtube channel fodder on the big screen was a good idea. The lady sitting next to me played on her phone and one couple actually left and didn't come back. Only seven people in the theater opening night, so it was obvious what others were doing. Don't waste your time or money. Watch their Youtube channel if you want, but save your money on this one.

Very disappointed in Cinemark for even offering this as a movie. They missed the mark on this one.

Firstly, for context I'm a huge paranormal enthusiast and consume lots of content regarding it.

I've been following Sam and Colby and was very excited about this movie, since it touched on so many paranormal topics, plus the location has a vast history and some interesting correlation to other locations.

Well, watching the movie I was severely disappointed for a few reasons and I can list them:

1) Complete lack of research - They went to the location, didn't know anything about the place, didn't try to get more information (which is so wildly available) and based all their "findings" on a few pieces of information that were provided by the current owner.

Ex: How Mt. Wilson and Skinwalker Ranch correlate in activity so much so that Robert Bigelow owned both at the same time and conducted studies (along with the government). That would make the movie WAY more enticing and show research.

2) Utter disrespect towards Native American culture and beliefs - They were aware of the native's beliefs about talking about skinwalkers and proceeded to do so over and over. Plus, disturbed the land, mimicked native rituals ... while not having ANY Native Americans in the movie providing guidance or information.

3) The overall "movie" felt like a poorly made Youtube video, with the AI generated imagery, the unfocused camera shots, the bad editing and etc. It felt lazy, repetitive and unprepared.

You can argue that they didn't have the "budget" for a film, but if you watch their 25x25 series on Youtube that aired 3 years ago, their production and editing level for that was INFINITELY better and way more movie worth it than this. There's just no justification for how poorly made it was.

I could go on and on about how this movie wasn't IT.

Should just be a Youtube special and definitely still be a bad Youtube video.

I'm a Sam and Colby fan but this lazy and disrespectful content is not it and it's not worth a movie ticket.

I'm a long time Sam and Colby fan and my sis is as well. We both walked out of that theatre disappointed and half asleep. If you're a Sam and Colby fan DO NOT go and see this. Just cherish their old YouTube videos. This movie felt so unorganized. At first I thought it was going to be about skin walkers, then UFOs got thrown in, and then it all mostly ended up being about this preserver Shaman watching the land of skinwalker ranch and trying to communicate with another dimension. There were some funny moments and 1 scary moment but other than that... I was half asleep and my sister fell asleep, I had to wake her up. Several people around us fell asleep. HALF OF THIS MOVIE was filled with repetitive, possibly AI generated, snippets to help describe whatever story they were talking about and they would repeat those same snippets SEVERAL times throughout the movie. If they took out those snippets, it could have been an hour long YouTube video and they could release to premium members and xplr club. I'm so mad...like I wanted to like it, I was hyped for it, and then I was ultimately let down and this kind of pushed me a little bit away from their content. Also the ticket price is $5 more than the average movie ticket. This whole thing felt like a scam. Sam and Colby fans, I know you want to show support, I did to, but please if you want to continue loving them and not be disappointed, don't go see this, just don't. Only getting 3 stars for the funny moments and to show some support.
