Wonderful character development!
Sadly Over-hyped
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
From the very beginning it was only bad acting and terribly clichéd plot. Having watched this a while ago I can guarantee that it sticks in your mind - my abhorrence for it, that is. Unfortunately I don't recall the soundtrack or special effects (although most reviews seem have to have been positive about these). However the whole turning-back-time-saving- someone, despite having links to Anna's own sister's story, is far too predictable, and I felt that the story was barely worth watching. If the writers want to improve their work, an original twist is needed. Also that bit about "I get injured every time I rewind time" needed to be introduced earlier. It just seemed like an excuse. Character development sucked - Angela continues to commit suicide after making her first friend, but not for her first lover? Acting was terrible. Anna definitely seemed more natural on her usual YouTube channel. All in all I didn't want to watch this at all. A rating of 4 is more deserving than an 8. RayWilliamJohnson's and Anna's fans should be ashamed of themselves for the overrated reviews. This web series was sub-par in every way.
For an independent Youtube series, Riley Rewind has very high production values (on par with some TV series, actually).The show was very well directed. It has a very good rhythm and I never felt bored while watching it.The plot and dialogs are pretty decent too. Not very innovative, but still interesting and very entertaining. People who enjoy time travel stories you will surely find something to like here.I also liked the acting and the characters. In the beginning I was worried about the show being about high school kids going you parties and things like that, but that's the case. Sure, the setting is a high school, but this is is not a high school comedy; the show is all about time travel.Overall, I would say that Riley Rewind is a pretty good show.
This short movie has actually turned out better than I had expected.Besides the bad ( but understandable ) acting of SOME actors, the scenes with the "government" men in the middle of the movie and at the end, I enjoyed it very much.Although some say that it was cliché, and perhaps it was, I honestly expected a sad ending and the happy ending actually surprised me.I was also surprised by Ray's work and I see a lot of potential in him.I hope he will continue his work and maybe work with some other people, together with whom he can make a better job.I give it an 8/10.
This is a web series directed by Ray William Johnson whom people may recognize from his show, "Equals 3", and it tries really hard to be dramatic but the acting, situations and script just don't let it reach that level. The performances here are pretty mediocre and the script is cringe-worthy at times. The only promising performances are given by the two main actors, Anna Akana, who wrote this web series, and Lamar Legend, who plays her gay bff. One good thing came out of this and that is that the director, Ray, showed us how good a show with a 100k budget can look, the web series looks good with some effective lighting and decent cinematography.Overall this is a 4 out of 10 from me because it is a flat out mediocre show, the budget is stretched thing and looks good sometimes but thee writing and acting really puled it down, what surprises me is that at the time that this review was written, this series had an 8.9 score which is a very high score.
