Firefall: An Epic Family Adventure

This film is absolutely amazing!! Not only is one of the most hilarious movies I've seen in a long while, it will have you laughing one minute and crying the next. The actors in this film are phenomenal and the editing was spot on! Some of the visuals were breathtaking! You should all want to see this film!! :) Matt Sconce is brilliant in his directing and editing. There was not a weak performance in the bunch. Some parts had me laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. Gregory Tharpe did a great job as the lead in this film and I look forward to seeing him in many more things. As well as the Rangers! So much fun!!! Rate this movie! See it when it comes out!! You will not regret it!

I always look for movies that preteen, teens and adults will find humorous and that I don't have to be embarrassed by overt language or sexual tones. This movie is very funny, as well as clean! The story had a redeeming quality and we enjoyed the interaction of the characters. In this day and age where so many movies are remakes or unoriginal ideas, it's great to see creative and unique storytelling on the big screen. A variety of travelers descend on Yosemite National Park for one last Firefall, where burning logs are pushed over a cliff in a beautiful, burning waterfall. These travelers find more than just burning embers as they take on the "Big" wilderness, life-changing family dynamics, and one grumpy Beast of a Bear. You will find yourself belly-laughing as you relate this adventure to some of your own family vacations. There are lots of very funny moments throughout this delightful film!

Never before has there been a low budget indie that is as ready for a theatrical release as "Firefall" is. Everything in this film from the the costuming all the way up to the acting is absolutely flawless. Matt Sconce cinematography is absolutely stunning, especially when you find out it was all shot on a DSLR. I challenge everyone to try to figure out which scenes were shot with the Red and which scenes with the GH2, I guarantee you won't figure it out. "Firefall" is a perfect example that indie film is still relevant and deserves more attention. Thank you Matt Sconce for making such an amazing film. And to distributors out there, you better get excited about this film, because any audience who sees this will love it. Get it out there.

From the opening scene a chuckle began to form in the crowd. The chuckle then became a laugh and eventually sore cheek muscles from the smiling. This movie marked some of the most laughing I've ever done in a single sitting, even the potty humor was done in good taste... Well as tasteful as potty humor could be... OK so some of the humor was a little immature. Still funny.

The Score was great and dead-on for the emotional pace of the movie, but a lack of fanfare meant I won't be humming it anytime soon.

The cast was delightful, each character could have carried the entire film and there were 14 main characters (split into 4 story lines). There-in lies the one drawback to this film. With all that was going on, I never really had a chance to connect with these people, which is disappointing because they were all so much fun. Also consequentially the crisis moments didn't' really end up all that critical.

So why am I giving this an 8? Simple, It's just that funny, as in bring some bengay for your aching jaw funny. You are guaranteed to laugh and laugh a lot. And yes mom and dad it's clean. (save the poopy humor, which you'll appreciate.)

As I'm typing this, I've had the pleasure of being a part of ten different movies so far, so I know a thing or two about what goes on behind the scenes and in front of the camera on set. Firefall could've easily been premiered in Tinsel Town. EASILY. The amount of creativity and professionalism blew me away. The actors, every single one of them, did an absolutely professional job. One thing, however, is that I wish I could've connected better with the characters. There were so many awesome characters and subplots that I felt like I lost track sometimes. Having said that, there could be so many epic sequels and dare I say prequels to this. Firefall has THAT much potential.
