Well, I believed that I would be in for something at least semi-watchable when I sat down to watch the 2020 movie "A World of Worlds", especially given the movie's rating - though it being a mediocre 5.6 rating as I am writing this review.
Yet I must confess that the movie's cover sort of had that bad low budget B-movie feel to it. Still, I opted to sit down and watch the movie, hoping for the best.
Turns out that I might as well just have followed my instinct here and skipped on "A World of Worlds" entirely. Yeah, the movie was that bad. I mean, the entire movie is just dripping with that homemade movie project feel to it. You know, something recorded on a home video camera and undergone some processing and editing at home in the living room on the family desktop.
The storyline, as written by writer and director Barry Gaines was just a swing and a miss for me. I found virtually no enjoyment in what transpired on the screen here as the movie trotted on in a monotonous pace. And the fact that the characters were one-dimensional and the dialogue was delivered with the gusto of someone having effectively given up on life, really didn't help to sell the movie. I have to say, the storyline sort of have the feel to it as if it was written by a young adolescent whom have just recently stumbled upon the sci-fi and fantasy genres.
Sure, I do believe that there is a fanbase out there somewhere for a movie such as "A World of Worlds", especially if you enjoy ultra low budget B-movie adventures laced with sci-fi and fantasy. Just don't get your hopes up for this movie though.
My rating of "A World of Worlds" settles on a generous two out of ten stars once the boredom settles. This is hardly a movie that I would recommend you wasting your time, money or effort on. Nor is it a movie that I will ever return to attempt to watch a second time. "A World of Worlds" came without causing a commotion and came sneaking in under the radar, and it will just as quietly and unnoticeably vanish back out of memory.
