95ers: Echoes

This is an energetic, ambitious and reasonably well-acted yarn about time and space. The main problem is the lack of character development and preamble to a cohesive plot line. The slightly amateurish nature of this film won't necessarily deter you from watching, as it IS quite good overall, but it BEGS for better directing and character embellishment. I watched it twice before I wrote this review. It's one those movies that is both easy and sometimes hard to watch as the acting and continuity keeps changing almost by scene. It works for the most part yet leaves too many questions unanswered simply by being so disjointed as a whole.

I would recommend it to all who appreciate this genre as bare minimum fare. I would also recommend it to film students as to what NOT to do as far as under-developing a story and its characters and leaving too many possible sub-plots unexplained.

Not bad, not great, but an awesome and sincere attempt to create some fine film art. 4.8 overall.
