Rotor DR1

Not all films need to be multi-million dollar action-packed epics bursting with Hollywood A-listers. Great films can be made with inexperienced or unknown actors, a shoestring budget and a more introspective tone. And, Rotor DR1 tries to be one of those films. But it doesn't quite succeed.

Conceptually, the film is decent though it undoes some good work in the final 15 or so minutes. It's pretty well shot. For the most part, the dialogue avoids falling into cliches or being too on-the-nose. The actors are a mixed bag - some are quite good, most are passable and a couple are very wooden. Sadly, the lead actor is somewhere between the latter two groups.

Where the film truly falls down, though, is in the plotting. There are just so many gaping plot holes that it completely undermines the motivations of some characters.

Not a bad story line, not a bad script, but some of the worst acting I've ever seen. The main character isn't bad, it's the supporting cast that ruins the movie. And the director seems to have fallen in love with his footage because he couldn't cut anything! It does drag on (and that's only the first half!). 4C and Maya must be good friends of the director who were cashing in on a BIG favor because they're not even close to being actors--- they're pretty good at reading aloud but they better keep their day jobs. I will watch almost any movie regardless of the quality but I couldn't finish this one! Christian Kapper, you have potential but steer clear of this director in the future!

I introduced that I am active in the RC airplanes and quad copters and tricopters in Netherlands. after having heard I'm about ROTOR DR1 immediately joined the community. I'm excited to see what cool series ROTOR DR1 has become. and the film will definitely be better. if you have not seen the series, you must certainly do this. it's also nice to see that there is such a large group of people who think along. and sees that it appreciated by seeing things back where you've thought about it. I hope in the future to see more of ROTOR DR1. and receives more attention in the media.

proud to be a part of ROTOR DR1.

Just a mix of bad acting, long boring scenes and a pointless script.

Excellent Film! I am drawn to this type of movie, I love the apocalyptic genre that Rotor Dr1 depicts. The video quality was outstanding and the shoot locations were very realistic. The storyline kept me very intrigued from beginning to end. Every little twist and turn just got me more interested in what was going to happen to Kitch next. Some of the acting was a little lacking but still very believable and watchable. Of all the actors in the movie, Maya was, in my opinion, the best and most convincing in the movie. I found Kitch's character to be a little dry. I will be recommending this to all my friends. Oh Ya, I want my own dr1 if S.H.T.F ever happens!
