This film has got to be one of the best fan films I have ever seen.It is directed and scripted cleanly and most of the time things flow. The dialogue is good and not too stiff(most of the time). The visual effects are usually good but sometimes do flop a bit, especially when done with the green/blue screen(But this isn't a constant problem).Well executed light saber fights and CGI space ships is where the film excels and will please any Star wars fan.I myself, a huge star wars fan boy, loved the ending and all light saber involved scenes. The film cost 6000 Euro and was 9 years in the making! JUST SAYING!FINAL SCORES:CGI-12/20. Dialogue-14/20. Cast/Characters-14/20. Plot-12/20. Things relating to Star Wars-20/20Total score= 7.2/10 Recommend to anyone who loves Star Wars! Don't watch if you don't know Star Wars!
... View MoreThe story is not bad at all, even better then some Hollywood counterparts, and the SFX is REALLY good for a fan movie. The acting on the other hand is often painful to watch. I'm Swedish and I still wish the actors did not have that much accent, for me the swenglish kind of ruins it a bit more, so many Swedish people speak really good English but not most of the main actors of this movie. I can tell that a lot of work has gone into making to this movie and if you are a fan it is still well worth a watch. The princess is much prettier the Leia ever was. Read that this movie was shot with ordinary DV cameras, and with that in mind it is not a great HD film but not as bad as you might think.
... View MoreFirst off, you have to realize that this is a fan movie made of a very low budget and for what it is, it is an outstanding project!As a major Star Wars fan I am very skeptical about fan films like these - but they pulled it off pretty nicely. Even though the obvious Swedish accents, bad acting, and failed green screen is a problem with this movie, it still executes and plays out quite nicely. And hey - It's a free movie too!The story is kind of similar to the three first Star Wars movies, but in a completely different way. And as a major Star Wats fan I can say that i was mildly entertained and my interest in the story was pretty high. The script was very well written - even though it sometimes make you cringe because it's obvious it was written by Swedish people. I am not giving away any plot details or spoilers - go check it out for yourself.As for the music, I think the soundtrack is quite nice and fits the moments pretty good. The CGI is awesome considering it's a low budget movie, just don't get any high expectations since it really isn't comparable to todays Hollywood movies. This movie took an amazing 9 years to make (!!!) since the movie has been post-poned and canceled multiple times. But the final result is pretty darn impressive.However, there is a lot of things wrong with this movie that I can't skip complaining about. For example, the terrible accent and the god awful Green Screen / Chroma key effects. The acting is very mediocre, and you can hear the Swedish accents on most of the actors, and the words are not pronounced correctly. This, for me, is very annoying and really destroys a part of the movie that could have been much better. I must say some of them did a fairly good job on the English accents though. I just wish every actor had taken a course on how to speak proper English and pronounce the words the right way. Maybe a few acting classes too. About the green screen thing, it is understandable that they can't do as well as recent Hollywood movies, but the green screen is really, really, awful. It keeps on bugging me and I just can't stop thinking of the badly done chroma key. I think they should have taken more time to fix this as it becomes a very irritating part of the movie.It was a fairly made movie and I did find it mildly amusing to watch. If you are a serious fan of the Star Wars movie you should not miss this. Hopefully, when the next Star Wars movie comes out 2015, Disney will not screw it up. Threads of Fate is a far from perfect movie, but still delivers an amusing plot and some fairly good CGI and acting, even though most of them make you cringe. Considering this is a fan movie and a low budget one, this is done very well and I would say this is an amazing attempt even though the dialog and the actors are a bit so-so at times. I admire that the creators of this movie made this movie and released it entirely for free making no profit of the movie at all, since they spent quite a lot of money for a fan film. This shows that there are passionate people out there that just want to please the fans and express their fandom.7/10 stars.
... View MoreThis has been in production for a long time, around 8 years or so, it was finally finished in 2014 for the world to see with the collaboration of many talented people across the globe. Rasmus Tirzitis, gets some props for being able to keep everyone together to finally finish this fan film.However, this is exactly just that, another Star Wars fan film. If you are not a fan of Star Wars, this film will be difficult to watch. That's not to say there aren't great scenes implemented throughout the film. It will just be much harder for a non fan to take this film more seriously or even enjoy it altogether. Some of the highlights include the asteroid chase scene which was surprisingly very well done and left me wanting more, .......SPOILER........the death of the queen was memorable as well,.....END SPOILER..... also Andreas Rylander's acting as Lord Siege definitely takes the lead as the most immersive as well as best actor in the film. The rest of the cast performs admirably, but with the Swedish accents makes it a little more difficult to believe or hear. I'm glad that this was finally able to be completed. I've always been a fan of what other fans of the Star Wars universe can create. This film definitely pushes the boundaries for what a dedicated group of fans can make. There are just some flaws that keep it from being a masterpiece, something that only a full on high budget production team could pull off.
