    SO MUCH HEART!

    I loved Bolt from the Blue! I enjoyed every minute. This movie has it all! A wonderful, exciting, fun story. Such a strong cast and really great performances from each of them. Stunning shots of beautiful Alaska - wow!!! And high production value - I was so impressed and I can't wait to see what Jack and his collaborators make next!

    Mostly, I love how full of heart this movie is, both in the story itself and seemingly in the creation of it. It made me happy to watch it! I highly recommend checking this movie out - good for all ages! Congratulations to all those that were a part of bringing it to life!

    Wholesome and fun!

    I felt like I was 8 again watching this film, reminding me of what it was like to have childhood wonder and fearless ambitions. The main male character was the epitome of charisma and his acting was incredible, down to his nuanced eye/facial movements and his body language. The chemistry between the leading actors felt genuine and lovely. Despite the simplicity of the plot, the movie never felt derivative, and if anything just reaffirms how much Hollywood has failed to deliver movies that aim for a singular target without missing the mark. But Jack Martin has done it with Bolt from the Blue. I'm confident whatever he makes in the future will inevitably get even better, and I cannot wait to see them!

    A family movie that feels like classic 80s/90s era fun!

    I would say kids as young as 8 would both enjoy the movie and not be scared or put off by the storyline. The comedic delivery from the characters and funny lines are delivered in a way that adults will chuckle along while the language won't offend the younger audience. Overall feels like the sort of fun from Back to the Future meets Ghostbusters meets Goonies. Really an all around fun movie that also has a positive storyline that parents will enjoy their kids being impacted from. I watched this with my 12yo as I wasn't sure if my 7yo would like it or be scared, but afterwards I wished I had brought the littler one along. Overall a wonderful movie from a first time director and producer, highly recommended!

    We need more films like this!

    Absolutely delightful fun movie for the whole family! We really enjoyed it and as I said in the headline, we need more movies that make people feel good and I felt great when I left the movie theater. Great job!! The scenery was spectacular. The story well thought out taking a person's dream and passion through thin and thick to achieve glory is something we seldom see these days in film. The acting was superb. I rarely am moved by movies but this one got me! Again nice job! I really do think this film would do great in schools as it would inspire young people to use their imagination and pursue dreams all the way to the finish line.

    Such a fun movie!

    It nails the 80s and 90s vibe perfectly, nostalgic without feeling outdated, with a great mix of throwback style and modern energy. The main characters are hilarious and super likable, bringing so much charm and personality to the story. The supporting cast also shines, with plenty of memorable moments that sometimes steal the spotlight.

    The story is simple yet effective, leaning into its lighthearted tone while still packing in enough emotional beats to keep viewers invested. The humor is sharp and well-paced, with a good mix of slapstick, clever dialogue, and heartfelt moments. There's also a lot of love and attention to detail in how the movie captures the feel of those classic eras, from visuals to the soundtrack.

    If you're into feel-good, nostalgic comedies, this one's a must-watch. More films like this, please!
