Review of Project Power (2020) by Lilkillpappy — 15 Aug 2020

GOOD: There's some good stuff going on in this film. There's a lot of creativity in the film making. The audio and visual aspects of the film feel fresh, clean and are highly entertaining. The acting and casting make a solid backbone, you get the feeling that these people enjoyed working with each other and it shows in their chemistry. Essentially, everything that came after the pen and paper aspects of this film is well done.

BAD: Sadly, the paper that this film is based upon, the most important stuff like script and story are uninspired at best. The story is derivative and lacks scope and imagination. There isn't much story once the premise is setup. They invoke deus ex machina to create their happy ending. Some of the most important human connections in the film are paper thin, causing it to feel emotionally emaciated. Without hyperbole I can say that the vast majority of people watching this film could have come up with a more imaginative story. They would have been better off going with some epub fan fiction. I can go on and on, but it comes down to a severe deprivation of imagination, and going into a highly saturated genre, without imagination, new ideas, or story depth, well, that's just stupid.
