First, this is (currently) listed on Amazon Prime under another fake "18+" rating. I've been tracking Amazon's using this stunt to get people to watch their films. In reality this is a PG-rated-- though not "family" film (the plot is a little too high-brow for children). No bad language (at all) , no nudity, no sexuality, etc. PG rated-- and even that merely for complexity of story.
Beyond that, this is a mediocre film with an interesting premise (humans can develop far more senses than our limited five)... with zero follow-through. I won't spoil the film by going into specifics, but this flick starts with some promise and ends with mumbo-jumbo grammar-school-play fizzle.
It is of note that they hired handicapped people to play the parts. Good on them. It's a shame they didn't give them meatier and more meaningful parts to play. This could have been so much better; I can think of a half dozen ways it could have ended smarter. Instead it just kind of plopped and left viewers regretting the time wasted on this amateur "fan film" quality production.
Kudos to the actors for doing a fairly decent job. The directing was even pretty decent, considering the environment of the plot. It was the basic storytelling and ending that really let the film down. Said it before and I'll say it again: If you don't have a good story from the beginning, don't make the film. They really needed to hash this out a lot better before investing money and energy on an ill-conceived story line.
