A World Away

Watched this last night with my 12 and 14 year old daughters. From the start of the movie the plot was not clear and the characters had zero background. Special effects were laughable and the "bad guys" seemed like they were from a low budget power rangers show. Super cheesy. I really wanted to find some good in this movie but it was difficult. We watched the entire film and at the end we were left scratching our heads and wondering why it ended the way it did. To be honest I'm still not really sure what message the movie is supposed to be sending.

Pros: no swearing

Cons: bizarre storyline, no character development, terrible special effects, gross out effect in one scene. In addition, 2 of the main characters and 1 supporting character in the film are the director's children - they all STRONGLY resemble each other - but are not supposed to be related in the film so it's a little weird. While the acting for the most part isn't the worst I've seen, it was pretty hokey.

Even my 12 and 14 year old daughters thought this movie was pretty bad and they usually love flimsy and/or confusing plot lines and mediocre acting. I wouldn't recommend this movie to others. Glad I didn't pay money to watch it.

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...

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

How does these movies actually get made? Wow. Worse than any day time TV movie We have ever seen.

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.
