| Village VoiceMichael NordineThe final result of all this, if a mixed bag, is still a more accurate rendering of the books' spirit than Oz the Great and Powerful. |
| Movie BoeufDavid N. ButterworthWell intentioned but way too obvious for its own good. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshThe ideas are not deep enough and the dramatic tension isn't real enough to sustain this feature. |
| User ReviewMichael MOriginal idea. Great story. Watch it today! The art direction is really good. Can't wait to see the next project |
| User ReviewAnna HVisually lyrically and though-provoking. This is a film for people who love films. |
| User ReviewJeff HBeautifully filmed and finely acted, this film takes the themes of The Wizard of Oz (obviously) and Of Mice and Men, and throws in a little Cormac McCarthy (The Road). I will be showing this in my film appreciation class |
| User ReviewGlenn POzLand is a great example of how passion, creativity and determination can make up for anything lost by having a smaller budget. The film pushes itself in every department in an attempt to set new standards for what can be done by independent filmmakers. On top of a high production value in general, the film makes great use of practical effects. Scenes that, if handled incorrectly, could have brought the movie down, instead elevate the film's story as well as its entertainment factor. Director Michael Williams and the entire team should be very proud of what they accomplished. I can't wait to see what comes next! |
| User ReviewLee MTomorrow night is the big night. Can't wait to watch this movie again. |
| User ReviewJeebus117Caught it streaming, and not unhappy that I watched it. But it wasn't exactly a good movie. The acting was mediocre. The writing was mediocre. Took an oft-used concept of sole survivors, and put a barely-original spin on it. The main issue I had was that the characters were never really in any peril. Yes, they were lonely and bored. This appears to be enough in the future where iconic literary works have been forgotten, and where defunct robots exist. Yet, we saw no other signs of technology, derelict or otherwise. What I really don't understand is why they don't just follow a river. They seem to have no shortage of food, but a constant water shortage. So follow a river, and learn to boil water. They're in Kansas, heading west. Kansas is 410 miles wide. Missouri is only 241. So walk across Missouri, instead, and use the Mississippi as a resource. Fish it. Drink from it. Maybe even use a boat for more efficient transportation. I get that the Kansas setting was almost entirely there for the Oz stuff, but why would they not try to get to Topeka, which is supposedly the Emerald City, of the book? Instead, one character gets his open-ended "I hope he got what he wanted" ending, and the other gets to aimlessly wander the earth, forever alone. They were clearly trying to be artsy and thought-provoking. I just think they did a mediocre job of both. |
