Synopsis

A planet destroyed, a sole young survivor shot out into space in an escape pod. Rescued and brought to an alien planet, she is raised to be a warrior.

Sarah has found peace and harmony. The universe has followed in the same path. But dark powers are on the rise and they will take her at all costs.

When an assassin comes to kill Sarah, she is thrown back into all the pain and bitterness she has harbored all these years. She will put an end to this once and for all.

When the assassin escapes by spacecraft, Sarah tracks it to a nearby star cluster. This puts her on course to battle with a wealthy and influential warlord who has Sarah and her powers in his sights.

Director, Producer

I have always been a fan of the Hollywood Blockbusters: Terminator, Mission Impossible, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc. I bring that energy to my films.

Producing and directing both fascinate me. Pushing myself to my creative limits is exciting and makes me feel alive.

I want to bring to the big screen, movies that bring people to the edge of their seats.

costumes, actors not all very convincing, story line good needs work in these areas.

The idea was good, but I felt like the all the pieces didn't fit together. It was supposed to be an alien planet but the locations just looked like typical Vancouver. Maybe going a bit more outside the box or off the grid, something different. The writing wasn't even that bad but the execution, I didn't believe a word.

..Man. This could use a lot of work. The acting's pretty bad, the sound levels aren't great, there are a couple pointless stretches in this trailer alone, which is relatively short, and which doesn't forecast well for a full movie. Found it kind of boring.

This was interesting. Lack of music sure didn't help with the excitement factor; lots of dead space, with shots of people I don't know walking to places I don't know the significance of. Lots of indecipherable jargon, many lines delivered very flatly, not really sure who this person is or why I should care. The assassin was just waiting at the top of the stairs? Not a whole lot of suspense to that. What's this other planet? How are these people different? What's going on? (Is this just Battlestar?) A lot of unanswered questions, and in a mystifying rather than mysterious way.

Seems a bit derivative of Trek. maybe you could do a fan film? Or maybe you have the next twilight here...

bad acting, poor combat, weak plot - I will be very surprised to see this group move on.

Has some promise, however I feel the sci-fi vibe was not evident enough

Rolinda R.

Dawn F.

Gave it a far chance, just not for me

Damien G.
Posted 7 months ago

I gave a higher rating than I might normally because it is meant to be a pitch for more funding. A teaser. The potential is plain to see. I really feel that the script is possibly too ambitious however. I found the sound very distracting.

The plot looks good as does the trailer ... since the critics need to be critized what they have to say bears very little weight with me. Good job excellent work ... Eric

Katie T.

Just doesn't hold up in terms of acting, editing or continuity. If it's meant to be campy, then it works on some level, but it tips over towards just plain amateur most of the time. Like the girl hero thing though.

Derick M.

You tried..sorta.. Need more practice directing and especially editing. Also should have written the trailer in a way that would work with the skills/sets/costumes you have available. So it didn't look like kids saying "we're in the future i swear!"

Believe it or not, this is worlds better than his previous work. Give this man an oscar, it's that good!

Travis B.

I'm a sucker for scifi, I felt like there was something there but it really wasn't represented right. Opening fight was total cheese, sound design (or lack of) was pretty bad, and it was more of a short than a trailer. Keep trying guys, I'd like to see where you go.

Brent L.

A little more suspense needed, but i like the storyline.

Shopworn cliches with nothing to surprise. Everyone is stiff and lifeless. Is that by design and a function of the world they inhabit?

Joel R.

Concept is great for a multi-million dollar production. However for a million dollars I couldn't see this being done well, the scope is way to big to be done on that budget. With a million dollars and not going straight to DVD the scope needs to be cut drastically, what is proposed here even on an ultra low budget would cost millions to do right.

With a little tweaking, this could have the potential be the sci-fi version of The Room.

Interesting... Looks like you put a lot of effort into it

Daniel H.
Posted 8 months ago

It's really awesome that you all were able to band together to work on a film, but there are some fundamental aspects of your story that need further development. First of all, the concept is weak. A super-soldier being pursued by some third party has been done countless times. In order for this base narrative to work, you need to provide an interesting twist. Secondly, the script could use a few more drafts. Right now it feels very "first draft," which is a good jump off point. But using a first draft to make a trailer is not wise because first drafts often contain too much on-the-nose dialogue. Film audiences are smarter than you think, making them piece elements of the story together from breadcrumbs left in the dialogue is what creates an engaging movie. Spelling everything out for the audience makes them feel like they've been condescended to. With more development work and a number of re-drafts, this could be an interesting project; unfortunately, it looks and feels boring.

a Good effort was put in but I think it needs more developement

Ethan M.

This is a pitch competition more than video quality, sure I wish the trailer was more elaborate tech-wise, but the story can be developed and engaging. With a bit more polishing this can go far!!

David B.

Excellent effort - there is a definate lack technically but we should do our best to look past that. I think given the proper guidance it could be a compelling story! Best of luck!

Karen M.

Araxi K.

Feels like a student film. Not this time, but there is talent that will show up in future.
