After finding Len through RLM and his unlikely friendship with them, I've been keeping up with his movies. While many are ripe for ridicule and are genuinely funny-bad, this is a genuine attempt at a legit film.
This movie is competently shot, acted, and paced to an extent I never expected from Len. It's not funny bad at all. It's genuinely entertaining and it's wonderful to see this guy grow as an artist.
It's time to give Len a Star Wars film...

Len is genuinely becoming a better filmmaker!
Did a great job with what he had!
There are some issues here but the good far outweighs the bad as Len did a tremendous job making the most of what he had access to in order to make it seem like he was doing a globe trotting adventure story. Sure there's plenty of places to improve but I've seen WAY worse stuff. Len deserves more attention!
Many things to disappoint.
The reason I gave this two stars is because I thought the story had potential. Perhaps a different writer, and director, with more money, and a better production could have done it justice. With this production I found many things to disappoint me. The acting was wooden, and contrived, the dialogue seemed uninspired, and uninteresting. In general I found the direction ie: the story progression was too quick without barely any setup of the story plot, and the actors weren't really directed in a way to convince the audience of their feelings, and emotions. Unfortunately I was unable to bring myself to watch more than ten minutes of the film, and that is unfortunate because in general I like this kind of story.
