Flashback

Highly recommend this movie! Great characters and a compelling story. The humor is clever and I love the sci-fi action throughout. The crowd I saw it with really ate it up. It's a film that will definitely appeal to kids, as well as the young at heart. If you're a movie geek you'll especially love it. Try to pay attention to the details in the back ground. There seems to be countless numbers of parody posters and great comedic tidbits hidden throughout. One of the many reasons why I'm looking forward to seeing it again. Hopefully there will be some behind the scenes features on the DVD, because I'd love to know more about the making of film. Look forward to buying a copy!

It is unfortunate that common courtesy at the theater is to turn off your phone. This movie demands a phone be in hand with fingers prompted on speed dial for emergency medical treatment. Flashback is DROP DEAD HILARIOUS. From dialog, to set, to actor's expressions, it is a non-stop chore to catch your breath from laughing so hard. The plot is brilliant.

I am looking forward to a DVD release. At that time, I will put the disk in and glue the drive door shut. I can watch this movie over and over and be a happy man. It is a toss up as to which was more cleverly created, the dialog or the setting. They work hand in hand along with a great soundtrack. It is certain that this will be a timeless classic.

This film is a super creative ride through a possible Hollywood future that pokes fun at the movie-making industry of today while introducing us to amusing characters and tons of hilarious film references. If you like Star Wars, you'll especially enjoy character Rufus Lucas (George's great-great- grandson, or something like that) who speaks in nothing but Star Wars quotes! There's even an exciting light saber battle amid the flying cars. It's quite awesome. The effects are especially amazing when you realize this film was made by three creative guys with no budget using green screens and computers in their garage. Incredible! It really does have a little something for everyone, from theme-park fun to a budding romance to a dinosaur chase. Some parts will probably be a bit scary for the youngest kids (and a lot of the humor will fly right over their heads), but overall it's safe for the family. There is a drunk character and a subplot about a sleazy rich guy hoping to seduce the studio starlet, but it's handled with humor and without anything remotely graphic. And I especially enjoy the acting of the corporate executive character Lamar as he's pushed further and further to the edge of sanity. The film is a visual delight, and a wild ride. There's even a full-blown, large-scale, and well-done musical number thrown in for extra Hollywood style. If you get the DVD, you'll probably want to watch the film more than once and pause it frequently to check out all the hilarious film parody posters sprinkled throughout the futuristic movie studio. Creative and clever, Flashback is a film you'll definitely want to see and share! :)

I was recently invited to the private screening/premier of Flashback. Three guys got together one day and decided to do a movie shot entirely on blue screens. Since they first created the idea Will, John, and Brendan graduated high school, completed college, and stayed true to their vision over the 6+ years that they spent creating their vision. Flashback is a great indie film, with a comedic sci-fi presence, comedic characters, janitorial robots, and a budding romance! So if you are in a mood to enjoy some good grassroots comedy about the "Hollywoood film industry" and where it is heading, you'll enjoy this movie.
