I thought the overall story was really good. I wasn't a fan of the way it was told. The B-movie approach works well for things that are really clever or really fun (and can work better than the big budget approach), but I didn't feel this was fun enough or clever enough, but it could have been if they had pushed it a little further. The underlying story had the potential, but the pacing was very slow. I think young sci-fi and fantasy writers will probably really enjoy it, because they could see themselves and their creation so clearly in it. There were definitely moments I felt the main characters pain and angst. It was mostly entertaining. I give this film a 2.5 out of 5 boxes of popcorn.
