Fan Film Free-For-All!

[Cara Drume]

Got it! I LOOOVE Broken Allegiance! It's my favorite FanFilm so far! My dad only saw the trailer and he's already impressed!

I've also somewhat caught up on actually downloading these things. I've got Dark Skies, Beagle, all three parts of Knightquest, and all parts of Dark Redemption. (which was one of the worst, all around. )
Mainly, I've got trailers and teasers. My bro's got Legacy of the Jedi, and I always laugh at that one.

Hold it...did someone say 'Sequel'

Dark Skies, Knightquest, and Dark Redemption. Undercover, I encourage you post full reviews of these. I haven't downloaded them yet, and it'd be neat to read up on what's going on with them.

Okay...Here goes! *gulp!* But be forewarned, I have little or no film review experiance...


DARK SKIES
For those of you who like speculative films, here you go. This is an OK film made back in 01' and speculates what might have happened in Episode II. It's kind of corny, though. (I.E, Amidala as a Jedi. ) The Computer graphics are decent, and the music editing is fine, but other than that...the voice-overs are choppy, the fight choreography is off, and the costumes are a bit below par. The acting...well, it's not the worst I've ever seen, but it's not that good, either. I wish I could give a better review to this one. The story is interesting to think about, however and it was good enough (funny/corny enough?) to keep me interested.

KNIGHTQUEST
This was the first FanFilm that brought me close to crying. (of course, I'm kind of a softie anyway...) Though it came out at about that same time as Dark Skies, IMO, it's visibly better. It's the story of three Jedi in exile: An old Jedi Master and his two apprentices, which just happen to be brother and sister. One day, the young lady who brings them supplies is followed and Darth Vader comes to entice the master and his apprentices; they must join the Dark Side, or die. The story was very good and kept me wondering what would happen next. The costumes weren't professional quality, but they served the story. The special effects were pretty good and the music editing was also good, as was the overall editing. The fights were decent. The dialogue was kind of forced in spots, but other than that the acting really wasn't that bad. The only major fault was that certian parts are rather drawn-out. Overall, a pretty good movie. I'd recommend seeing it.

THE DARK REDEMPTION
Easily the worst FanFilm I've ever seen. Now a very good opening to a review, is it? :/ It's basically the story of a spy (Mara Jade, ) on a mission to get the Death Star plans to the Rebel Alliance, but is captured by the IMPs and brought to the Spice Mines of Kessel. During her imprisonment, she is conflicted between her visions of the Emperor and staying true to the Alliance. The story itself is fascinating and has enough OT tie-ins to be right between funny and annoying. This thing came out waaaay back in 99', and sadly, it shows. The acting of about half of the cast isn't that good, and the special effects aren't very special. I mean, the laster bolts are see-through! I wish I had more good things to say about it, but I found the film slow, lacking in almost everything and downright pitiful in quality.
But then, I'm not the biggest fan of Mara Jade, and that may have clouded my opinion.
