The answer is no, they would’ve done a much better job! Writer, producer and director Harald Franklin needs to keep his day job. Firstly, has he heard of the sponge that goes over microphones? It’s the thingy you use so your audience can hear the dialogue instead of the wind. The entire sound was horrible and poorly edited – if it even was. The score was constant, annoying, loud and unfitting and was at least double the volume of the dialogue. His directing on every level was atrocious, including failing to direct his cast and his scenes.
The screenplay was like blindly taping together a shredded script. It was convoluted, riddled with plot and technical issues and the story made no sense. There were too many unnecessary and long dragged out scenes that I ended up forwarding thru most of them. The 94 min runtime felt like 3 hours with the slow pacing and horrible story. I’m guessing it was meant to be some lame political statement? The kill-shot S/VFX, and the acting were the only redeeming qualities, and even that was sub-par. Franklin needs to pay for some “Film School 101” classes before he attempts another production. Probably the worst film I’ve seen this year. A very generous 3/10 from me
