Truly Dreadful Film

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

I find it outstanding how passionate fans can make a better star wars film than big Hollywood directors from time to time. Lord knows this film has true heart and soul put into it. Lets keep it simpleAction: Fantastic, good choreography, solid acting, very well executed and honestly surprisingly damn good considering its a fan- film. Story: Darth Maul becoming a true sith. Its great. And I love how we finally see his true potential which was only depicted properly in the comics unlike Phantom Menace. Really happy to see him done justice. Effects: They are really good. Both in regard to visuals and sound. The lightsabers look great, believable, the sound design is awesome and the soundtrack fits quite well too. Actors and costumes: It works. Really damn well. Darth Maul looks terrifying and very very convincing. Costumes are great, the movie doesn't look cheap. One thing though. I was finding it hilarious how the jedi master with them looked like Pewdiepie. Didn't kill anything though because he was cool and the dialog with the terrified padawan was a really nice touch to portray the Jedi as more than just practice for Maul. Not to mention the small but cool character progression of the padawan when she decides to take a final stand against Maul although all odds were against her. Bottomline: I really love this film. I wish it was longer. I want more like this. Definitely the best Star Wars fan-film I've ever seen. Thank you to the actors, directors and writers for this. 8 out of 10. Fantastic fan-film. A must see for all Star Wars fans as well as Maul fans who hated Lucas not doing him justice in Phantom Menace. This is your film. Hope to see more like this.

This short film was 17+ minutes of awesome! I'm so impressed with everything about it! The story, the acting, the skill of the actors, all amazing! Death Maul looks fantastic, so do the other characters. The action packed fight scenes were phenomenal to watch! It's hard to believe, for me at least, that this is a fan film! I would love to see more from the people that created this, I've watched it several times already, it's incredible, from start to finish! Everything about it looks so authentic, if you are reading reviews debating if you should watch just stop and check it out, whether you are a huge Star Wars fan or not, It's definitely worth it!

The amount of work that went into this fan film is amazing. Typically fan films have crappy picture, audio, and dialogue. Everything about this was professional. Even the CGI was good. The world would be a merrier place if every fan film was as good as this.I give this a 10, simply because, since it is a short film and is full of well coordinated cinematography and lightsaber dueling, there isn't anything to critique. It's perfect.We all wanted more screen time out of Darth Maul, and more action. It keeps within his character's savageness. This short film perfects this. Darth Maul taking on like 6 Jedi. It's a dream come true. Like, it's impossible not to like it. Go watch it on Youtube right now. Go, go! *makes shooing gesture with hand*

The special effects were really well done, the acting was above average when it comes to fan movies, it kept you excited. The pacing was good and not too fast. The choreography was outstanding and the make-up and practical effects were magnificent. This is by far the best fan-movie I've seen to date, it outranks fan films such as Star Wars: Legends Legacy of the Force, Star Wars: Threads of Destiny and many more. I can't wait to see what more Star Wars the makers of Darth Maul: Apprentice will release. Hopefully more fan-films will come our way soon.It surpassed my expectations, the 20 minutes I spent watching this fan- film I didn't regret one bit. Overall I give the movie a 9/10 (For fan- films, as this isn't a blockbuster movie)
