I just finished watching Star Wars: Revelations, a fan flick/short movie produced by Panic Struck Productions and done by volunteers on weekends and only with $20,000. The special effects and cgi are outstanding and better than many professional movies. All the space fights, cityscaping, costumes were done very well. The movie is reminiscent of the original series with all the dialog and scene transitions so you feel like this could easily fit in the Star Wars series.
The acting...ah the acting. Obviously there was a lot of hard work that they put into the movie so you would think they could find some better actors willing to get some exposure. The worst one, though he didn't appear much, was Emperor Palpatine - his costume and voice just did not fit. After 10 minutes you kind of get used to the acting so it doesn't remain too much of an issue. Another bad part was the light saber duals. Though the special effects was done well, the choreography was not.
Overall, for a 40 minute space flick it's very good. I'd like to see it again on the DVD version, the one I saw I streamed from iFilm so it was severely compressed.
