Review of Skybound

Skybound (2017)
7/10
Creative plot,lack of elaborated details,get-by VFX,medium cast.
9 September 2017
Warning: Spoilers
For the first 10 minutes,you would be thinking it is a low-cost no- plot film showing a bunch of teens indulging their fancy lives:private plane,colored lovers,multiple relationships.Even when the fake cult leader(any cult is fake,literally) appears,there is still no interesting clue at all.It adds a bit flavour when there are mysteriously many planes hovering in the air.And nuke apocalypse,death of cult leader,looking for resolutions to maximize flight distance,and ultimate sacrifice of the leading role does make it a reasonable storyline.But,between these key story milestones,there is few valuable meaningful transition plot.One can just fast forward all the blank in- between time and will not miss any important event.

VFX is get-by,neither high-end nor coarse.

Story creativity is OK.

It would look more delicate and compact if cut to 40 minutes.
