CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Adrian Sweeney This is a hard review to write - I don't want to oversell this film or sell it short. I caught it while idly flicking round British TV one afternoon. I had better things to do but minute by minute it managed to keep me away from them and I didn't regret it.At first I thought 'Cheap afternoon TV movie'. A few minutes later I added the rider, 'with solid production values and an above-average level of effort and energy.' A while later again: 'And an astonishing amount of care and ingenuity over detail. Did you see what just happened in the mirror? And did they hire a troupe of boisterous improv actors as extras? I need to find out who wrote and directed this.' Then: 'The special effects are too good for a TV film, especially the excellent time-line display gizmo. It must be a bigger-budget studio number. Why haven't I heard of it? Probably one of those things that came out in the wrong week or something and slipped under everyone's radar.' And soon: 'There is so damn much in this film in the way of backstory and world-building and little loving doodles in the margins, too much for a normal film. It must be an extraordinarily faithful adaptation of a book - not just a book, but the first in a whole series of books. They must be big in America. So well-loved that the fans would lynch people if they left anything out, so they've put it all in and are making quite a good job of explaining it to the rest of us.' And eventually: 'Who cares what it is or where it comes from? I'm still watching and it's getting even better.' By the end I was not only completely gripped and invested but so moved I had to stifle a little manly tear at one point.Bear in mind: it IS low budget, albeit usually very well disguised. And you've seen most of the things in it before, but they're done with slightly new spins and so much verve in execution they come to seem fresh.The first half of the film is - not exactly slow, but stays mysterious for an unusually long time. This can be a bonus if you enjoy making guesses. If you're impatient or are used to being spoonfed, forget it. (I think a lot of the people who've given absurdly negative reviews must fall into this category. Although I suspect those who've been over-critical of the acting of malicious trollery - the acting was either perfectly good or quite perfect.) The best thing in the film, and the best example of the care and inventiveness that's gone into it, is the main gimmick (there are several). One of the characters in effect has a sort of superpower. This is very well handled. We are gradually shown rather than told and I was deep into the film before I fully grasped it. All the implications of it were thoroughly worked out - including the ingenious ways that enemies could counteract it. Most importantly, it was handled in such a way that, rather than becoming the equivalent of a Get Out Of Jail Free card, it actually had the effect of doubling or tripling the tension.All in all I enjoyed it a lot. I would like there to be a sequel (for one thing I would love to see what happens when one '95er' fights another) or, perhaps better, a TV series. Most of all I would like the director and his collaborators to be given a bigger budget to play with. Congratulations to all involved on some remarkable work.
jaughenbaugh I liked this movie, and knew I'd leave a review before I read the others in this set. However, after reading them I realized how many people are sci-fi snobs and somehow believe that SFX should be the yard stick that a show is judged by. I liked the plot and the execution. I thought that the characters came through and it had some good surprises along the way. I know this is low budget but I liked the way it makes the story look like some of my other science fiction favorites.So if you think that the story, and the science, of this genre should be backseat to special effects then you are a snob. Please seek treatment.
Tangle001 I admit I needed to restart it several times to be able to get a sense of the storyline, but I don't think that's because the story is lacking anything. Upon reflection, I would say there is quite a bit more thematic material to this story and more drama potential than the rest of the movies you would want to compare it to. I'm resisting comparing it to another movie because 95ers: Time Runners is sufficiently different in terms of story that I think comparison to another movie isn't what I want to do, This is science fiction but the movie tells the story of seemingly regular folks trying to deal with extremely potent and unusual occurrences. I like movies that give me something to think about in terms of intellectual topics, you know, cutting edge science, psychology, sociology, movie making, so I am well pleased with 95ers:, And further, the lead actor Alesandra Durham did a fantastic job and so I liked watching this movie very much because of her, and the storyline, and the special effects for the story are great.
ddburg I recently attended Fandom Fest at the Louisville Comic Con where I was privileged to sit in on a screening of 95ers: Echoes. An independent made sci-fi film dealing with time travel, paradoxes and the really brain twisting stuff of human relationships, and I'm happy to say that I think it is one of if not the best examples of the genre. I must say the cast has absolutely nothing to be ashamed about their acting abilities. I've seen a lot worse in big budget main stream Hollywood productions. The story line is meaningful and exciting, which kept me on the edge of my seat. The special effects were fantastic and added real depth to the story and did not detract from the movie. All in all, this film was made at a level of professionalism that belies its' Indie film status. The cast and crew have a project they can be extremely proud of. They have produced a labor of love, and it shows in every frame. For anyone thinking of watching this movie, do so, you won't be disappointed.
