Well, that was a ride. I really just want to compliment the filmmaker. The choices here were BOLD. and if you make bold choices, both in cinematography and costumes, you have to go for it. This one really does. I thought the acting all worked within this world. It is definitely quirky, but in a good way. the originality of this film is really what gets me. You have Eric Roberts popping up in the film as well. Another aspect is young actors, I thought they did a really great job in this. and the use of backlights/neon colors throughout the film really makes this stand on its own. For the lack of originality we get in movies these days, this one certainly stands out and has a point of view. would definitely recommend.

Greatland is a super trippy, really fun ride. It's got a very DIY quality to the production, but that makes it all the better. Definitely watch if you're into sci-fi.

Greatland is very original and unlike anything else. I think the strongest aspect of the film is actually the production design. The detail in every scene is impressive. The main actors did well. And some of the filming locations were impressive also.

This movie is Out of this World for sure in the best ways! Very colorful cast and fun fantasy story line made this an entertaining watch for me. Ulysses character did a great job bringing real emotion to the screen. I appreciate films that can take me somewhere... and this one did just that.

Futurist films like "Greatland" are at their best when they help us understand our society by holding a mirror up to it. This film takes it a step further by asking you to look in the mirror through a kaleidoscope lit by a black light. It's visually wild and frighteningly thought provoking. Some themes addressed in the film already seem to be coming to pass in 2021. Also, I was delighted to see Eric Roberts make an appearance ... his performance was stellar as always.

I liked the idea of the politically astute film mocking such things as political correctness.

Ready Steady Cut

A coming of age story and an allegory about a possible society to come. Looks bizarre, difficult to follow, but there might be depths worth finding.

Rated: 2.5/5

A world where everyone must be accepting of all others to the point where it becomes a crime to judge another person... is just as implausible as one where the rich take full advantage of the poor... without expecting... mutinous repercussions.

It seems that Greatland expects its audience to know exactly what it all means and in the end the audience may just give up trying.
