For an amateur Fan Film this is top notch. The special effects are well done, though the same problem most fan films have shine through in the story and acting. It hits upon the clichés, and by the numbers, and the actors come across more than a little stunted, sounding a bit more like Live Action Roleplayers (LARPers).
ReplyDeleteFor all that I stayed with it through the whole thing, which is actually pretty impressive. The acting, as it was, and story were at least if not better than Episodes 1 and 2. I'd really enjoy seeing something like this done by some passionate people willing to push new boundaries instead of the normal Star Wars tropes.
There's a lot of bad reviews and ratings for Threads of Destiny here, and I believe they're all mistaken and/or out of line. But allow me to explain what Threads of Destiny is;
ReplyDeleteThreads of Destiny, is a Star Wars fan film set 96 years after the Return Of The Jedi. The Skenvi Empire, a smaller group of bad guys set out to secure their resources and parts of the galaxy for their own, in order to ensure a lucrative future. The New Republic can't have that, and sends out two Jedi ambassadors to make a better deal for the planet of Coreign. Sound familiar? That's because it is. Threads of Destiny remembers what was good about Star Wars back in the day, but also knows what the prequels did right, by making a compelling story about good vs evil, but also has smugglers, aliens, women and robots.
If you've ever watched the original trilogy, you'd know that the visual effects are quite dated. Such is, regrettably the case with Threads also, but that's to be expected. The film was shot in 2005 on DV-camcorders, and put together by an ensemble of visual effects artists over 8 years.
What people tend to forget when watching this film, is just that. They pick on the Swenglish(Which could really just be a foreign space-accent, to be fair), and the sub-par compositing. Again, the film was shot on DV on poorly lit green screens, and we have to give them credit for doing what they did.
This is a FAN FILM, it's not Episode VII. The amount of work put into this film over nearly a decade is astonishing. The music is great, the sound mixing is awesome, and the story is good. The fact that the VFX look dated, is because, frankly, they are. They're also made by dozens of people around the planet, all being coordinated by Rasmus Tirzitis - the director. Not some fancy VFX house, or even a visual effects supervisor; the director.
So please, when you're rating this film, please take the story into consideration. Not the acting, not the visual effects.
After all, if we rated the original Star Wars films based on their visual effects, we wouldn't give them 10/10 today.
I could not believe what I was watching for the first few minutes, as I kept expecting that this was going to be Lego, or that badly cell-shaded animation. Then bop like that you see that this is a real live human acted movie, and it is a full hour, and forty plus minutes long. They have taken the time to film each separate character in the background and place them into the movie like one of those old stencil rub-on cereal box prizes. There is a very deep, and fleshed out story, that the actors all seem very intent on presenting, and there is no shortage of completely copied Star Wars images, and backgrounds. However this is just so hard to watch. The entire thing feels like a video game from the 90's cutscene, and there is a weakness to the acting that bogs every scene down while you wait for the actors to remember their lines. I did not Enjoy this movie at all, but I am more of a Star Trek kind of person so I would recommend this to die hard ubber-fans of Star Wars, and no one else. It is just too hard, and painful to watch for me, and I'm certain that most people will feel the same. Such a shame though as they really do try.
ReplyDeleteFor a fan film, this is a huge undertaking I bet. I found it not so well executed, as the acting, directing, screenplay, script are mostly amateuristic. The audio was fairly nice and the CGI is jumping out as the classy aspect of this movie. Impressive, really. The blue-key was not properly applied and it shows, badly.
ReplyDeleteWe see a Jedi master, kind of Obi wan, and the prodigy, kind of like Anakin. Throughout the film there are lots of scenes and lines that look very familiar. It seems this film is more like a tribute, re-hashing bits from the originals, stitched together with a story around a truly naive princess.
Also some action scenes were fairly nicely done, where one can see they had to make do with little equipment. Conclusion: not all was that bad. I was slightly entertained, but the big damper is the lack of consistency. I just couldn't just go with it you know. The only way to watch this and properly enjoy it, is to be a true Star Wars fan.
Key to understanding this movie is not to compare it with big budget studio productions
