Awesome Movie
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
View MoreIt starts like it's recapping the previous episode in a crazy sci fi series, trying to bring you up to speed. It actually highlights some of the events in the movie itself. Really??Usual problem here - writer/director. No one to question or query his grand vision. Desperately needed in such a potentially complex story.Initially, some of the voices sound like they've been dubbed. And there are some brilliant(!) shots of actors talking with their mouths covered by various objects. One can only assume the writer/director was trying to plug holes in the plot by explanations. Maybe he was listening to someone. Unfortunately, not enough.The direction/editing is poor in many places and really flags it as amateur/low budget. And there are some poor casting choices.Some of the dialogue is just off plot and character. At one point it descends into totally incongruous family argument.The whole plot is very convoluted, confused and unclear. You could be half way through the movie before you understand who everyone is and what's going on. And even 2/3rds of the way through, it's still confusing.Of course, being a time travel movie, there are the inevitable anomalies. Unfortunately, there are a few glaring ones. It's not a suspension of disbelief thing, but the way time and time travel is supposed to work in the movie - it varies to support the plot.There is a sort of twist or two but by this time you're probably not bothered and the attempt at the twisty reveal thing at the end was so predictable.And the music jars terribly. Some of it's just really annoying but most of the time it's waaaaaay over the top. Oh, writer/director and composer have the same surname. Nepotism, perhaps?The result is a bitty, scrappy, movie that does no favours for anyone, especially time travel fans. The subject matter alone gives it a second star but time travel fans will miss nothing (but a poor movie) by giving this a miss.
View MoreI liked this movie, and knew I'd leave a review before I read the others in this set. However, after reading them I realized how many people are sci-fi snobs and somehow believe that SFX should be the yard stick that a show is judged by. I liked the plot and the execution. I thought that the characters came through and it had some good surprises along the way. I know this is low budget but I liked the way it makes the story look like some of my other science fiction favorites.So if you think that the story, and the science, of this genre should be backseat to special effects then you are a snob. Please seek treatment.
View MoreI don't review movies often, mostly because I'm lazy and don't want to take the time.However, after reading so many negative and almost hateful reviews, I wanted to leave something else.This isn't a 'great' film, but I found it intriguing and even a little emotional.A few keys to remember as you watch:1: Its a LOW BUDGET film. I'd be willing to bet, it was a labor of love for those involved.2: Its an art film of sorts. What does this mean? That its ending is sort of open.3: Some people aren't making the big bucks as actors for a reason, but it doesn't mean they're bad.There is a story that slowly unfolds before you. A person who changes and fights against everything to change her future, anyway she can.If you can't get past the budget and lower grade actors, then stop watching and give up. You've set higher standards than this film can live up too.Personally, I've always had the ability to look past actors I don't like, to enjoy a movie. Sometimes, I just want to get lost in a story and I did with this one.Kristy C
View More95ers: Echoes is a fantastic film. The story is fun, well written and completely original. It's one of those films you'll think about over and over after seeing. The film definitely takes you on a journey with twist and turns throughout.For being a low budget film the graphics are beyond amazing and actually help to tell the story. Imagine that!?!? Why can't the big budget films get this right?This is a refreshing film, I hope many others get the chance to see it soon.Check out this movie!
