I guess it depends on who you are.
Five high school students on a class trip get transported to a fantasy world. On their quest to return home they discover they are elementals.
I'll watch anything. But appreciate where it's coming from .And, although it's low budget, it could be WAY worse (Riddle Room -a 2016 movie that was REALLY not worth it! Or The Girl- w/Michael Biehn and Tia Carrere- really OH SO BAD!).
This seemed like a high school play production done outside. The story has potential but the writing could be a little more elaborate.
As it opens, the main character is struggling with her mother's death, but holding it together for her father, who enters the scene. It's hard to tell what the actor's motivation is in the scene. Is he angry? Is he abusive? No? Oh, he's supposed to be sad? Good thing that's his only scene. Bad thing he's in the opening.
The acting was amateurish. Gabi Sproule, in my opinion did best- and this was her only credit on IMDB. The main actor is listed as a producer, her mother as executive producer. Also Joanne Samuel, the director, has her son (Jesse Ahern- also a producer) to do film editing, music editing and supervise visual effects. Although it could have been better, it could have been worse. The ending leads us to believe there could be a part 2. If it happens a better writer, director and editor could greatly improve the ratings.

Although I found this movie entertaining, it was a little too "on-the-nose" for me.
Justing Lebrun plays a verbally abusive, sexist, racist CEO who has been molded by his father. He is known to be a cheater and liar who belittles and slave drives his employees. He receives an invitation to his own 40th birthday party by his staff and is excited, as he has never had a birthday party because of his father. But, the employees are not there to honor him. Oh, no.
This was a quick watch. Although I enjoyed it I would have like to see a little bit more. William E. Harris has a short part but I would have like to see more from his character. It would have added a little depth to the story. As it stands, mean boss gets payback from employees. A little over and hour. Mediocre dark comedy. I watched it, but I wouldn't choose to watch it again. And I'll probably forget it after submitting this review.

This movie has been on my watchlist for a while. I finally watched it!
I'd put this along the lines of Maze Runner and Tomorrow, When The World Began, no doubt. But with a little less action. A few loose ends were left hanging. Probably expecting a franchise but nothing in the works for continuation.
I love Amandla Stenberg. I loved her as Rue in "The Hunger Games" and I love her here, as Ruby. I hope she has a busy future ahead of her because I'm looking forward to seeing her again.
Mandy Moore has second billing but she shows only for a few moments at the beginning and end. Also, Bradley Whitford has third billing and very few scenes. Not disappointed, it is a YA movie after all.
I did not read the book or hear about it. The reason it took me so long to finally view the movie was because the tags were "Action, Adventure, Drama" with no sci-fi, so I wasn't really interested in watching a teen drama. Then I read the storyline (which is probably why I added it to my Watchlist) and finally watched the movie.
The movie did feel a little rushed. Like some characters who were touched on probably had larger parts in the books (Lady Jane, played by Gwendoline Christie) but I have enjoyed the movie enough to say I will probably read the series, since there are four books now.
