The Second Age of Aquarius

Don't believe the two 10 stars ratings. They're fabricated by the makers of this movie. This movie, if you can call it a movie (I call it a drama club project), is so boring that I could watch it and play a game on my phone at the same time, and I wouldn't miss anything significant on the movie. The plot is predictable, the acting is mediocre, the climax is so anti climatic, the ending is a dud. If you're trying to kill some time, I suggest you listen to some good music or read a good novel instead. Don't waste more than an hour of your life for this pathetic and weak effort they call a movie like I just did. Learn from my mistake.

From talented writers Staci Layne Wilson and Darren Gordon Smith, comes this fun, original, comedic gem of a movie.

Agoraphobic computer programmer and Russell Aquarius superfan, Alberta (Christina Jacequelyn Calph), finds her Russell Aquarius avatar has mysteriously come to life in the real world, after a power blackout.

The comedy ensues as 60s rocker Russell Aquarius (Michael Ursu) and 2020s modern girl Alberta, find love with each other.

Michael Ursu is brilliant as Russell Aquarius and nails his role. He's not over the top (which would have been easy to do) nor does he underplay the role. The chemistry between characters Alberta and Russell is clear and the rest of the cast have been well chosen, including the talented Brooke Lewis Bellas playing Alberta's mother.

Well worth watching :)

I really liked it!!!! The cast and crew did an amazing job!! Funny, trippy and a lot of lingo used from that decade. Music really takes you back to the 60s.

I watched this film to see indie Icon Brooke Lewis Bellas. She is great in genre films, but I really like her in comedy like this. She made me laugh again and the writers were very clever and created a humorous film here. I was not familiar with the two young leads, but they were also fantastic in their roles. I was impressed with all the actors and the writing and jokes.

The Second Age of Aquarius Review What happens when you conjure a somewhat flawed resurrection of the late and once almost great legendary rock and roll rocker Russell Aquarius (Michael Ursu)? In the way Jim Morrison had his Patricia to guide him through dimly lit passages of the occult, Russell's Alberta (Christina Jacquelyn Calph) serves up modern magick by orchestrating electrons, pixels, and programming to make manifest her reincarnated Orpheus. The results of her effort were not exactly what she had planned, but she's not the first woman to try to fix up her man's rough spots! Russell Aquarius is delivered into modern times with all the charm, beauty, and bumps of a messenger from a long ago time. And what sparkling playful, innocent, fun he has discovering Alberta's world as her idol and lover. She manages to transform her relationship with him from something of a groupie (he has trouble remembering her name) to his Juliet. Not exactly star crossed lovers but close -the twinkling of computer coding which makes his presence possible is as unstable and unpredictable as Russell's next words. Darren Smith's songs, performed by Ursu are beautiful. The screenplay was written by Staci Layne Wilson (Director) and Darren Gordon Smith. This film is fun and delightful, available on Prime VOD.
