Rotor DR1 (2015)

It is a performances centric movie

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

OK--the acting is like the Disney Channel rejects. The plot is plodding along. The soundtrack is techo-un-inspired. The exterior shots are somewhat interesting in this post-apocalyptic film. I cannot recommend this film to you because of the observations above. I can say if you have an hour and a half to kill, there are far worse things you could be doing.The acting is simply bad and I hope that this poor show is due to the near amateur-status of these leads. Christian Kapper (same last name as the director) and Natalie Welch are the leads who essentially cannot act themselves out of a wet bag. They show one look. They deliver lines like a rehearsal reading of the script. They do not create any sort of spark which could have mitigated the bad acting.The plot is supported with the voice-over narration of Kapper and this voice-over does not help move the plot along. Things happen at random and the pointlessness of the narrative is further underscored. The ending is pretty clear from the first part, so there is not compulsion even to see how things sort of end.Since we are seeing drone/human interaction, the techno-music seems appropriate, but it is simply not inspiring. There is a lame musical interlude on the bus, but that does not assist with anything.The only light spot (if you will pardon this obvious pun) are the exterior shots, apparently of Ohio. Whether it is a snowy field after the drone race or the abandoned mall (where Kapper is reflecting with a voice over), the shots are of interest particularly given both the film's theme and our current politics vs. climate milieu. You might find these images part of your justification for seeing this film.I cannot recommend this film, but I cannot say avoid it at all costs. There are some aspects worth the 90+ minutes, if you believe you have to explain yourself. I--on the other hand--don't need an explanation for anyone.

Well, the script had some potential when I saw the trailer of this movie and unfortunately the trailer was the best thing about it. Apart from that this is one of the most boring movies I've watched in 2015. The acting was horrible. I get that they can't afford good actors, but they should've tried harder Music was what you expect from a no-budget movie- it's like they use the same database with bad soundtracks.The story itself makes no sense to the end and it drags and drags the viewer into a collection of boring clips with nonsense that makes no sense or relationship to the story - felt like they were trying to make a 20-minute short film into a full feature so they just slowed everything down and filled it with useless dialogs.

Rotor DR1 is a community collaborative film which basically means anyone around the globe can join their Facebook page and the forum on their website, and help create this film. As a part of the Rotor DR1 community I have voted on different aspects of the film and given my opinion on many different elements of the film. The greatest part is they actually used some of my ideas!!! The Rotor DR1 crew lets you know they have read your comments on their Facebook page by liking every single post and comment. Let me tell you this is a new and exciting kind of entertainment. Helping create ideas and reading other people's ideas then seeing these ideas come to life on the scene is an awesome experience. I think Rotor DR1 really has something to offer all ages. It's a great family film.

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.greetz from Netherlands.
