Hey, better than most of the seasonal Hollywood crap coming out right now. Movie about a fallen hero from another world. Interesting and compelling. Special effects weren't the best. Worth a watch.

Poor writing, and poor supportive cast. and some logical slip ups now and there. i think the character talks too much. . when you have little to say and you know ur writing competency is not .. dostoyevski like .. try to move toward a slient movie as much as possible. 2c

Needless to say not an original one. The concept of this movie has been used by the sci-fi sector in so many ways, it may even bore you when you first started the movie. Later things get interesting because you too wonder what is real and what is not alongside the main character. This movie caught my eye because of its beautiful poster and I can't say I regret watching it but I am slightly disappointed because even though I watched this without any expectations I guess a small part of me wanted this to be good. As I said, I loved the main idea and I would love to see it handled better but not as a 90mins movie but as a tv mini-series. The format would have been more suitable because there was no chance to see any character depth or to understand why someone is doing something other than just guessing. Action scenes could have handled better if this was a tv series alongside well... everything. I don't recommend it if you are hoping to watch a really good movie but if you wanna watch a movie that could trigger your imagination to think of a better scenario based on this one, then you can give it a try because you can't help but to think the ways it could have been better.

Im not sure if people were trying to compare this to block buster films with 150 million dollar budgets. Apples and bananas, come on. I know these are just other peoples opinions and I am doing the same but give the people who put the work in credit. Sometimes stories require imagination to fill in the blanks.

I thought this was well done. The mesh between the worlds was well executed and the visuals were crisp. Im not sure what the lack of character development comments were either. The entire movie is the main character narrating his past through the eyes of a young writer.

The acting was spot on for the story and the length.

If this was the directors debut film I tip my hat to him and his team. You can tell that is was well executed . I am excited to see the future films that are produced. Its nice to see something out there that is not made to fit everyones marketing ploy to reach "every demographic".

Great job to all involved!

I like Joe Manganiello. No matter how many bad roles he does, I still have something in my heart for him, some hope that he will do better and shine. Unfortunately it's not this film. The plot is not that original, but OK: a guy pretending to be a superhero from another dimension, while we have to struggle to believe him in lack of any real evidence, the hapless kids that get into something bad and need help, the comic book vibe, the resolution at the end. And it kind of starts promising, too. Yet from the middle on it just gets depressing and slow and badly acted.

Bottom line: I would have liked to like this film, but it just wasn't the case. It felt like an episode of Powers with an even lower budget and worse acting.
