Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

hellobrideboard I love all the low budget movies on Amazon Prime and came across this today. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the entire move from beginning to end. I recognized most of the actors and felt like they were very believable. Probably the best low budget film I've seen in awhile. Love streaming services as it gives me a chance to find movies like this. I would recommend this movie to any sci fi lover. Pretty unique and fun!

rollingpix I stumbled across this movie on Prime and thoroughly enjoyed it. I agree with the Refreshing! review by Petrino. Only thing is I give it a higher rating, 10 stars. It grabbed my attention right at the outset and held it firmly for the full 90 minutes. It starts out as a road comedy with some pretty funny goings-on and escalates gradually into twisted sci-fi desert insanity. I've seen a lot of movies like this that don't work, so it's a real achievement when you see one as good as this one is. The story is a little meandering, but I found that to be part of its charm. The actors are all quite good in situations both hilarious and horrifying. As Petrino says, you feel like you're with real people with authentic relationships, nothing's forced. The Las Vegas scenes are really quite humorous, with real threatening characters breaking up the central characters' plans. The guy that plays the youngest member of the quartet, Erik Artell as Jodie, bears a slight resemblance to Topher Grace of That 70s Show, and his clueless but imaginative innocence adds a lot of fun to the proceedings. His ideas about creating a YouTube show are pretty wild. Eddie Mui is terrific as Nick the gambler on a losing streak being heckled by his wife (for good reason). And Parry Shen and Colton Dunn as Jeremy and Dave are right in there with the action and the laughs. There's one scene in Vegas where the dung hits the fan and everybody's freaking out, but Dunn tiptoes fast through the shot with an impish expression on his face that's priceless but totally in character. Real good special visual effects too. I really liked this movie a lot and I wish the filmmakers well. I hope they make more movies. And I don't agree at all with the negative reviews here that give it low ratings. Thumbs up here! Take a chance on it.

Jeff V I really, really like sci-fi. And I don't have any problem with found footage movies. And I appreciate a well done indie on a budget. But this move is just 70 minutes of some uninteresting characters getting ready for a road trip, going on a road trip, then about 45 minutes in, they start to occasionally see or hear something weird for a second. Someone occasionally says "Did you hear/see that?", then they move on with their mundane dialog.The acting is good and believable, which is part of what's so sad. If this at least had poor acting, I could laugh at that. But this movie is all about portraying 70 minutes of believable found footage, then the last 20 minutes it gets good. But at that point, I don't give a damn. I bought it used at Family Video off the rental shelf for $5, only $1.50 more than renting it. It's now in my Buybacks bag of movies to get rid of.The **SPOILER** here is that this actually becomes a sci-fi movie at the end, after being an extremely boring found footage movie for the first hour+.

pattypattydang I tried to like this film, I really did. It started off well and it promised to be fun, but as it progressed, it dragged badly.It's an odd film in that it is almost two separate films joined together. The first half is a comedic road trip film. There were no segments in this part of the film that were done poorly, but there were just way too many segments. The bits and scenes just rambled on without going anywhere or adding to the story. This rambling did allow for some character development and set an overall tone, but I think the same result could have been had with better editing. The first half might have been actually good if it had been cut in half.The second half of the film (almost to the minute) becomes more serious as trouble starts to befall the group of friends. The film really falls apart in the second half. The Blair Witch style filming worked in the first half but gets silly and implausible in the second half...not to mention down right annoying as the film limps to its conclusion. There aren't as many pointless scenes in the second half, but most of them are too drawn out. The reactions and motivations of the characters seems unrealistic for the most part. Even though the phenomenon that these guys witness is the point of the movie, the script can't seem to convey any sense of awe or horror. It's almost like the writers knew they had nothing and were stretching film time to connect to the ending. The end scene, overall, is interesting, but the Blair Witch hand held camera becomes truly irritating. While the ending scenes are mildly interesting, they don't do much to answer any questions. I think the filmmakers were going for tantalizing but got unfulfilling instead.If I hadn't decided to write a review of this film (no one had reviewed it yet), I doubt I would have watched the whole thing. I think this might have made a good short film instead of a feature length film; maybe there's no money in making shorts.
