Waste of time

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I came across this movie by accident, worryingly common with film, and am very glad I did. The story is good and the acting is better. Only one group of characters are not up to par, but the rest of the film is so good it's easy to forgive. I was thinking that I'd like the film to be true, but decided that it's, on balance, better left alone. The film is so good it makes you think. Not a common feature of most offerings from Hollywood, so long live independent film makers.

I think probably the best elements of the technological age we live in is the opportunities younger and younger artists have to produce a decent product without the need for expensive cameras and production costs.I know very little about Australian director Glenn Triggs except for what I found from his IMDb profile.What I did find is he is a very talented and dedicated young film maker who is on the right road if he chooses to continue.The thing most striking about '41' was it's absolute reliance on pure story telling without the luxury of CGI or other big-budget distractions like expensive props or exotic locations. Glenn and his tiny crew have used just what they had to achieve what they intended.I found a few problems with the film (as I do with everything), but they were minimal and easy to address.Number one, I always find time-travel themes frustrating to deal with. The paradoxical nature of these types of stories continually leaves unanswered questions and different possible outcomes. You just are not even going to come close to pleasing everybody with a movie like this.Two, while the musical soundtrack was expertly crafted, I found it overused and begging for emotion where none was really required.And three, Glenn's final cut has some extremely ham-handed segues that for the life of me I couldn't follow, but no matter.At the end of the day, a fine story. I very much look forward to seeing more of this young man's ideas being brought to the screen.

A time travel tale is a good start for any young director. The story was interesting and low on predictability.The main character looked a little vacant at times, considering he found himself in varying degrees of stressful situations. But in the main, he was engaging.Some of the dialogue was a little ropey and a few scenes had an air of awkwardness about them. I put this down to some below par screen writing and the odd inexperienced actor. The police scenes looked at times, like they belonged in a different movie. Far too hammy, and unnecessarily comedic.The score was great and the movie does leave you thinking about the many possible paradoxes that the main character's actions inspire. But as with most time-travel movies, don't think too hard about it, just focus on the bigger message. Which, at least is something that you are left with come the end.

Stumbled across this the other day, and thought I'd give a quick look. And I couldn't turn away. First off, I have a soft spot for "small" sci fi movies. (Such as Primer, Love and Teleportation, Moon, etc) This is a very small, indie film, made on a shoestring. If you're looking for big stars, great effects, aliens?, turn away. You won't like this. Nonetheless, what the makers accomplish is amazing! It draws one into it. It feels like you're actually becoming a part of it.Another reviewer faulted the hospital and police station sets. I thought they were perfect! In fact, I was never sure that those guys even WERE the police. I wondered if they had some inside info on what he was doing and were govt agents, posing as police.The actors/ actresses didn't seem like they were "acting" at all. More like you were just listening in on conversations. And it never explained everything. Make no mistake, the answers are there, but you'll have to listen and pay attention to get them. It treats the viewer as intelligent. Far too rare today.And the best soundtrack I've ever heard in a small movie! Haunting all the way through.It just amazes me that major studios spend hundreds of millions to make blockbusters, and turn out rubbish. And yet a few people come along, spend a few thousand, and turn out gems such as this.
