The Otherworld

This movie has really bad acting, I felt like I was watching a high school play.

Horrible cinematography, utterly inexplicable and unfollowable plot. Terrible dialogue delivered by actors so incredibly wooden i thought they might start taking root. Very poor special effects.

I've given it 1 as the musical score isn't utterly without interest. Other than that failing to see any appeal at all. Trying to watch with my 6 and 9 year old daughters. They were both bored and wanting to turn it off after 10 minutes.

Haven't actually got to the end yet but writing the review to pass the time.

Not entirely sure how anyone could give this 10 out of 10...

Costumes look like costumes, not clothes that people would wear. The editing of the film makes it hard to follow at times. Dialogue delivered by "actors" is flat.pin American accents. But then, all of a sudden it goes into narration with heavy Irish accent. Little, if any attempt at authentic accents. Instead of showing, they spend time explaining plot. Lots of woodland scenes showed with no actors to take up time. Maypole dance inserted with no plot support. Music is added to fill in time not to help the story or setting mood. You get the feeling that, "We have all this Celtic music, we should cram it in." Long periods of music, dancing, not adding to plot. Slow movie, you keep wanting action. Special effects are nothing but poor. What is with a wizard wearing 21st century glasses?

I'm amazed this film has a rating of 5.1 . It's like the director has walked into a hippy camp with a camera and rustled something together , the acting and dialogue are poor , the effects cheap , and the content lacking . It really is terrible , and worth a miss .

This film was a great disappointment. It consists mostly of poorly acted static scenes oddly edited together. There were occasions in the big battle sequence that almost captured fighting, but it was too fleeting to redeem the scene as a whole. Only the soundtrack held any interest at all. If you are looking for Irish folk tales Song of the Sea is vastly superior.
