User Review
$150,000 Aussie dollars.
Rating: 7/10
I enjoyed this movie. If you have any interest in film making, I would
rate it higher than 7 out of 10. It's worth while seeing what can be
made for $150,000 Aussie dollars.
The movie may have some flaws, and I think the biggest one was budget.
I would have loved to see this movie remade with a better budget. My
biggest problem though was the quality of the film on the big screen.
Considering it was filmed with a JVC HD101 camera, it's understandable
that the film's not going to be as crisp as what people are used to. I
hope someone gives the people who made this a chance at another film
with a decent budget. At the very least give them a new camera to shoot
with.
Acting was not one of the flaws in this film. I have seen many a bad
movie with dodgy acting and this was no where near as bad as I was led
to believe from people's comments.
Plot wise, it's an interesting tale. Understanding the concept of
Purgatory goes along to help people get a grasp of what's going on. I
can't believe how people claim this movie has no plot. I found this
movie to be more a thinker with some action rather than a straight
action film. Their is action in this film, but it is depicted a lot
more realistically than most people probably would have liked.
At the end of the day, this is not the horrible movie that the first
reviewer is making it out to be. It has plot, solid acting and the
sound was fine. The quality of the picture though is probably the
hardest thing to forgive. I think it's sad that a lot of people will
read the first person's review and not see this film based on someones
ability to write 10 lines of text. 10 lines being the magic minimum
before they allow people to submit a review.
If you really think this film was awful go and watch "Ultraviolet" and
you will truly understand what kind of films deserve to be given 1/10.
