Love your reviews! Keep going at it

I agree, there was too little time in the shelter and too little character intersections. I did care about Danny though. I wish there was much more of their life showed and how they bond.

It would be cool if they utilize the abilities of watchers more, as you said. And yeah, the movie lacked seriousness and subtlety. It was bit heavy with shoving the reveals and conclusions up the viewer's throats lol. I felt like I watched a story for kids. But there were some cool ideas. I think it's a wasted potential overall.

Good review, convinced me to give it a shot.

Hello, good job, keep it up. Your way of narrating is smooth. I liked your comments and analysis a lot. Change the name of your channel to something more uplifting. Your way of speaking is professional, why would you call yourself that.

I love this comment haha. Thanks for the compliment but I like the irony in saying unprofessional while presenting myself as the opposite.
But beyond that I don’t think anyone could be considered a “professional” when it comes to film. I see myself as a student of film and I don’t want to pretend that I know better than the actual filmmakers who work tirelessly to make their art. Even if I end up working in the industry I don’t think that will change! Always learning and growing as a filmmaker!
