Please stop making movies. It's obviously not your thing. Try hunting unicorns, you'll have better luck.

Can you say Garbage?
ndarrellc12 December 2018
This is absolute garbage. The intro sucks. The music sucks. The sword is terrible CGI.

Was this a joke?
thedazzler-6881913 December 2018
If you told me this was made as an 8th grade arts project I would still have to take the risk of being labeled a jerk and say this was absolute garbage.

What is even happening here ?
catchmythriftusa17 December 2018
Seriously what is even happening here ? To label this trash or garbage is much too nice and to label it as a film or art is just appallingly false. What the heck is this utter nonsense ? Whoever made this please reach out, I wanna know what kind of drugs you sprinkle in your cereal.

Get some practice first
marnusvermeulen10 July 2019
Seeing as the director himself has decided to leave his own 10/10 review, I thought I'd give him some constructive advice. Yes, I get that you worked hard. I get it took pain to get this movie done. But I'm an aspiring filmmaker myself. But I wouldn't tackle a project that would be too big for me. Start small. Do shorts. Do cinematography tests. Make stuff with no CGI and then some stuff with CGI. Get a lot of practice. Learn how to most effectively tell a story using all the tools at your disposal. And don't use tools that (like the sword in this film) come out only detracting from the experience because of the glaringly obvious fact that it was handled by someone who didn't have the skill to pull it off. I'm not trying to break you down. I'm trying to say that you should pace yourself and hone your craft better before tackling a massive project. From a fellow aspiring filmmaker.

What in the name of reason and good taste was this pile of manure supposed to be? There! That's my review. Take the warning and stay clear.

Too bad to be believed
grahamathomas17 February 2019
I guess the giveaway should have been when I was watching the opening credits! This guy is so full of himself it's unbelievable. In all honesty, I've seen better productions of nativity shows at primary schools. Shocking camera work, direction, acting, script. The list just goes on. I can only assume that this guy Aeneas paid for verything himself as some glorious self promoting spectacle as I can't believe that anyone else would offer a penny to get this onto the market. Seriously, don't waste your time on this 'movie'. It's time wasted that you'll never, ever get back. The only thing I can suggest as a use for this film is in a filography school whereby they use it as an example of how NOT to make a movie.

This has nothing in common with the Aeneid.

An absolute ordeal
Wolf_Solent8 March 2022
It takes some doing to make a film that is literally unwatchable but here we are. Everything else - the unintelligible soundtrack, the incomprehensible narrative, the sheer technical ineptitude on every level - seems to have been covered pretty well in other reviews, so I thought I'd just draw attention to the fact that in a film created almost entirely by one person, ten minutes of the 60-minute running time are devoted to the end credits.

The worst thing I've ever seen in my life
kingsholmen8 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
There is seriously not much to say.

This is no way near a real film. 3 children with a phone could make a video like this.

This film (actually not a film) is empty and boring.

The effects/animation looks like trash. And there were like at max 10 scenes in the film (I mean video). And every scenes is like 10 minutes long. And one scene where he was talking around a fire was like around 20 minutes long. I'm not joking. BOOOOORIIIIIIIING!

And it's incredibly irritating every time he talk/scream.

There is nothing more I have to say other than that this is probably the worst film (if you can call it that) I have ever seen in my life. Easily a 1 star film. Hate it, hate it, HATE IT!

... I have a lot to say
divinezoomer6 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I made an account to review this movie. I look for bad movies because they are sometimes funny, like the Amazing bulk for example. I watch a lot of bad movies, so when i saw that this is the lowest rated action movie on IMDB I had to watch. Man alive it was bad even by Food Fight standards.

The Dialogue of the movie is way to quiet and UN-intelligible, cant stress that enough. Movie would be waaay better if I could hear what was said.

CGI is terrible, like still images on top of irl footage.

The main character pauses for like a solid 5 seconds between each sentence or sometimes one word at a time. And it makes the movie feel slow. Like a turtles pace.

Like he will say, "Troy is no more!" (15 second pause) "Troy is no more!" every line in the movie is like that, or its one incredibly long unbroken sentence. Mumbled so you cant understand what was said.

Its not really funny, could be "good" if you watch it at like 2 or 3 times speed. To account for the half of the movie that is dead silence.

Their is a scene in the movie that goes on for 20 minutes, that is a man ranting to the gods in front of a campfire. There is a lot of drone footage of landscapes with music or incomprehensible dialogue over it. Their is a scene in the movie when he films himself standing near the shore, filming his foot touching the water. That goes on for a solid 4 or 5 minutes.

The closest thing that this movies has to action is. An image of a sword pointed at a god or something which is also an image. They are moving tho, like how you would wiggle one picture on top of another in photoshop. He also threw a seashell into the ocean two times.

Over all I would say that this movie is slightly better than staring at a wall for an hour, however if that wall had paint drying on it, The move would have some serious competition.

TLDR; terrible movie, worst ever made, not even so bad is good.

Misunderstood
connorparsons6 August 2019
This is without a doubt the most misunderstood movie I have ever seen. I truely don't understand all the negative views towards this film. It has to be, for a fact, the most creative and truely outstanding piece of art that has ever been created; in the Ancient Greek genre. A true masterpiece. Great job Aeneas

Masterpiece by Middleton and Davidson
trentdouglass21 February 2023
Phenomenal movie that only true Aeneid fans will understand all of the allusions made in this film. The cinematography is immaculate and the music is innovative and perfect for the movie. I would definitely give this a try if you love Greek mythology and well made films. We all know internet users have bad taste in the beautiful and good things in life, so don't listen to the other reviews and just give this a try. This is an exquisite adaptation of Publius' story and very well done. And this review is coming from an Aeneid expert as I have done multiple projects concerning Virgil's book. Great work!!!!
