"Philippines can't do a project like this."
-Guess what, this proved that statement wrong!
When it comes to Television and Big Screen projects, Philippines is always known for its drama, romance and family related stories but never was known for sci-fi or fantasy with quality effects. And sadly, it is quite possible that Filipinos won't even bother to support projects like this.
Voltes V Legacy: The Cinematic experience showed us that Filipinos can pull a film with quality CGI if just given with proper direction and enough time to make it look real. This is the first time that any local series or film showed a very convincing CGI that will make you feel like "it's real." Some might say that this can equal the effects of Transformers or Star Wars but to me, we are still way behind but Voltes V proves that we can do that soon!
As a film, there are certain moments that you would really feel the editing and the cuts as this was a shortened version of the tv series. The acting was with its ups and downs. Dennis Trillo proved that he is an amazing actor and was able to lead the cast with outstanding performance. Miguel Tanfelix is a good Steve Armstrong and he was quite convincing with his role. The Boazanians were also good as well, felt like the elves from the Hobbit films (just a smidge).
Another thing to consider are the score which was nearly perfect, the performance of Julie Ann San Jose for the theme song was great (but could have been better), the costumes were spot on however the cinematography could have been better.
Overall, the cinematic experience is a fun ride and hopefully the series will be released with its quality not downgrading. One last remark I would want to point out is that of with the hopes that it should have been a weekly release of episode not daily. In that way, audiences and viewers would crave for more and might be more hooked to look forward as to what's gonna happen next.
Voltes V: Legacy The Cinematic Experience is an 8/10 for me. Video review coming soon!
