Black Easter

It's like the Blair witch project, but made by some really stoned kids at an evangelical summer camp drama project. Requires first crucifying your critical faculties and biblical levels of the suspension of disbelief.

I mistakenly thought this had a rating of 7.8 on IMDB and thought "Hell yeah! Time travel, killing off Jesus, a good rating... let it rip. The best thing about the movie was the camera work... which wasn't anything great, it was just WAY better than the acting, script, or the really spotty "science" behind time travel and creation of alternate time lines. Yes, I know time travel doesn't exist... as far as we know, but at least try to make it plausible within the framework of the movie. It was breathtakingly bad... a complete waste of time. It looked like a mediocre film student attempt, with a larger budget than the norm. Don't waste your time, there's nothing redeeming anywhere to be seen.

I have seen worse. If you go into this movie with extremely low expectations then you will not be let down. It is hard to come up with a new movie idea these days when it has all been done. Then when you do a movie biased on an already done idea and it is not A + material you get downed for it. I give points for originality and vivid imagination. I am a Texan so seeing in the end credits that Dallas had a hand in this made me like it that much more. It was not preachy like some other new movies done, it was just pure made up craziness, with a moral compass. I myself will not see it again but if you have NOTHING else better to watch I say yes.

A screenplay so stupid and poorly crafted that it is impossible for a normal person to get to the end.

At the beginning, it lists all of these awards it's received. I went in thinking that maybe this was an independent film gem. It was not. Much of its low rating was based on the acting, which is poor from the beginning. The concept was interesting, but that was about it. That being said, it holds its morals. It tries to teach its lessons. There's just a lot going on. But it's par for the course in time travel stories, and this film relies so heavily on it that it's hard to take it seriously almost immediately. But then it keeps happening over and over, until they set up the final twist at the end. It feels like there may have been too many writers trying to put forth too many messages, or possibly just too many characters considering each person introduced in a new time period is essentially a new character, as they differ from the original version. With a story like this, less could've been more- it would at least cause less confusion.
