This movie deserves to be seen because people gave their all when they had nothing to gain to get this on the screen. I don't often get excited reading screenplays by people who have never made a film before, but this screenplay got me to call a bunch of talented friends together to work for next to nothing and take a shot on something that had no shot to begin with. Yet talented people banded together and did what they could with next to nothing but love for a cool little story. B-Movies get there name for many reasons, in our case, we were 'B' for broke. This is a B-Movie, but as B Movies go it is top notch. I was a part of getting this film made and unlike some artists I can be honest about my own art. In view of these factors I would rate this a solid 7 although if it was a big budget Hollywood effort it would only be worth an average 4 or 5. I wasn't bored by the film and it didn't feel like it was dragged out and that's my measurement of a film being watchable. I thought the story was very interesting and I'm glad I didn't pay any attention to the negative reviews that said otherwise. On to this film, which had a minute budget, I can see where people likened it to a Star Trek convention, but you should remember that these actors love the genre and after reading the script gave it their time for the love of acting because it definitely wasn't for the paycheck! Perhaps some of the performances were unpolished, but that comes with doing scenes on a single take because of budgetary constraints and would be a more valid point if we were talking about a Hollywood blockbuster. In the same spirit I have seen a lot of films worthy of a 9 or even 9.5 but 10 should be reserved for that film that has it all. I have rarely seen a 2 or 3 although I have seen some appalling movies but they all had something worth mentioning. Anyone who gives a film a rating of 1 or 10 obviously don't understand the concept of rating.
