MEAD

I was very unimpressed at the start and the acting was subpar, very stilted with a questionable script. Turning OFF subtitles was actually important. It's a bit cringe when you realize you're reading the lines in your head more believably than the actors are.

But things did get better. Learning about how this film came to be definitely got me thinking less critically toward it. Taking a step back and letting it exist as a purely indie film with some cheesy lines and silly visual effects allowed me to enjoy it enough to finish watching it. The first 17 minutes were the weakest in my opinion but once past them the story was fine. I don't know if they'll actually make the teased sequel but I would watch it.

This is a popcorn munching, extremely fun viewing experience that is wildly entertaining. As a comic book / sci fi-fantasy geek, I can truly appreciate the heart and soul that went into the production of this film. Live action cast immersed in an animated world is a unique way of story telling that shouldn't be missed. Well done!

The movie was overall very entertaining! Good story and screen development. Only lacking a few stars for minor elements that would have been fixed with a larger budget. Can't wait to see a sequel!

Charming story, solid performances, lyrical almost hypnotic music, and effects that helped tell the story without distracting the audience.

It is nice to see sci-fi that isn't grim dark, or leave you needing therapy after the end credits.

I hope to see more gems from this studio.

This film is sci-fi Indy at its finest the movie has really good pacing with a really nice runtime and a cast that you can tell is having the time of their life. I would recommend this for most families that love science-fiction i.e. Star Wars or guardians of the Galaxy and for an indie this could be a cult classic. The special effects work is great and Patton Oswalt as Mead is very lovable much like an R2-D2.
