This "movie" is (at the time of reviewing) ranked on IMDb with the same score as Citizen Kane, which is obviously a travesty. From reading some of the reviews it seems that this is thanks to the overzealous support of their preexisting fan base.On YouTube it might get a thumbs up for effort, but when you're running with the big boys, this doesn't cut it I'm afraid. I might have given it a 2 or 3 if it wasn't for the arrogance of the writer getting herself cast as the female lead (Riley). She is upstaged in just about every scene, mostly due to the fact that the other people in it can act at least slightly.If you're like me, and use IMDb to try to find great films via their ratings on here, then please do not bother with this. I understand that their fans want to support them. However, I believe that IMDb should be a level playing field, and Citizen Kane this is not.

In a nutshell this was OK. It did lack depth within the characters. The only characters that felt real were anna's (riley) as opposed to all the others that felt superficial. Anna acted the best while everyone else pretty much sucked.Hey best friend Jay was terrible and fake as was his love interest too - he was really over-acting.The other two main actors were the antagonist in here (disabled kid) and the girl who commits suicide.The animations were cool and it started off promising. I liked the intro too but it lacked depth - it was literally just one scene to another - movies have some filler inbetween but this didn't.Having said that for a free web series and RWJ first attempt it was a good effort by both him and Anna.Full review and all the episodes are available here:http://www.gizhub.com/riley-rewind-review/

i loved Riley Rewind! it was powerful, emotional, had great special effects and the acting (for the most time) was pretty good. never thought midget Ray would make something this amazing!the special effects: the effects were awesome! i loved how they showed animated sketches, it had a really great touch to the series. and there's the bomb explosion at the start of Act 1, which was awesome as hell! the bummer is that i didn't get to see it again, which made me sad a little. but overall, awesome.the sets: Riley Rewind's a low budget independent project so at first i was like "i don't know if i'm gonna like the sets". but i was dead wrong, the sets are fantastic! everything looked so real and well done. props to everybody on that!the script: this thing has a fantastic story: Anna plays a normal girl named Riley Brown who can time travel (or "rewind") to change her past. i thought that was awesome. it was written by Anna and honestly she did a really good job. i liked the dialogue too, it was really well written. and you end up caring about everybody in this movie, all the characters were amazing.the acting: for the most part, the acting was way better than i thought it was gonna be. there are those moments in the series where everything gets dark and it makes you tear up (like the scene where Angela commits suicide, i leaked a few tears at that part). granted, sometimes the acting can get a little bit too cheesy and weak, but overall everybody did their job really well (especially Anna and Lamar).Overall: i loved the show! it had me at the edge of my chair the whole time. i laughed and i ever cried it was so good. Ray and Anna, you're the best! keep on the great work, i gotta see more from you :D9.5/10

This was really fresh ! and full of energy .. and by fresh I mean fluid and untouchy, like this is just what they intended it to be.. Im glad it seems like they showed their work as they wanted it and not as something commercial... The phaseing was really good and editing felt very appropriate, never felt messy or boring.. even the cut off between acts felt very appropriate and engaging to me ... Overall way better than lets say Agents of Shield... of course it was cheesy and kept simple for most of time.. but this a feel good inside movie its cool light and fun :) .... Really waiting to see more from this guys.. Im actually impressed it never felt short or too ambitious.. Well done !
