Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
View MoreOne of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
This movie has Cult Following written all over it! (but not really written all over it ... that'd just be weird).What I love about this movie is the theme of the unreliable narrator as we see through the eyes of our two bumbling heroes through "EPIC MODE." Tons of quotable lines and irreverent comedy and yet this can still be categorized under wholesome fun. (Yes, my kids are huge fans).These characters and the idea behind the "youtube survival experts" could be a phenomenal series if someone like Netflix or Amazon picked it up. Lot of potential here to continue this journey and see our heroes fail epic-ly (ya, pun intended). Definitely check this one out, you won't be disappointed.
View MoreBased on their YouTube comedy series, The Last Man(s) on Earth, we find Charan Prabhakar and Brady Bluhm channeling their inner Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, respectively. This is a film that looks like it was a ton of fun to make, though slightly less fun to watch. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it and found the leads to be funny characters, but it still felt like a YouTube length skit that was stretched out to feature length proportions. The filmmakers were also obviously working on a very constrained budget, which added charm at moments and weighed down the film at other times. If you enjoy the camaraderie of Pegg/Frost, then this film might just as well be the lower-budgeted cousin, with a similar character dynamic and humor that wouldn't be out of place in one of their films or TV shows. Overall, a valiant effort and I'd love to see what these guys could do if given the resources to make a decently funded feature.
View MoreIt's hard to find a good comedy these days, and I did not expect to find one in a low budget independent film. Part action film, part comedy, and part disaster/horror film this was a seriously fun movie. Made on what looks to be a very modest budget, it never distracts from all the fun and excitement happening on screen. While it drags a little at the end the rest of the film soars by riding on witting dialogue, great one liners, fun action sequences, and great performances. I was really impressed with the writing of the film. This was probably it's biggest strength. As good as the writing was though it wouldn't have had the same effect without the great actors who delivered the lines. Rick Macy and Darin Southman (who I've only ever seen in serious roles) performances were a big highlight for me. But the show goes to the leading man Charan Prabhaka who is both a great action hero and hilarious! Brady Blum's performance was also good, but there were a few times were he was a little over the top for me. Overall though this is an extremely funny movie (better than most Hollywood comedies), that you will not regret taking the time to check it out.
View MoreI am a fan of the YouTube episodes of The Last Man(s) on Earth so when I heard they made a movie, I was beyond excited! This type of comedy is right up my alley. It is witty, puny, and extremely dumb, which makes for some great laughs. I mean epic laughs. The actors portrayed the characters brilliantly. The main actors truly made the perfect pair. The plot is one that has become increasingly popular in the entertainment industry, many will enjoy this movie. Yes, this movie wasn't completely perfect. It had some slow points and some of the acting was not Hollywood material, but overall it made for some quality entertainment as far as comedies go. This movie is family friendly and I can't wait to watch it with mine.
