... View MoreFlashback is part sci-fi and part stage play. The reason I say stage play is technical; it's all "blue- screen" and the acting is that exaggerated style common in early silent movies. However, here the lead actors will break out into song. I hope instead of spoiling the moment this hint will compel you to dive in and be entertained.The stated storyline is okay but it doesn't set up the film as well as it could. Think "Rocky Horror Picture Show", but with the satire directed at Big Movie, Inc. money men, producers, squashing the little guy under their $1000 loafers. And the posse that Mr. Big requires is right there with pad & pen.So, if nothing else this should be your afternoon, eating ice cream out of the bucket guilty pleasure movie. It's not perfect but it doesn't have to be.I would buy the DVD, but in fairness rent it first; safer that way.

This movie demands a phone be in hand with fingers prompted on speed dial for emergency medical treatment. Flashback is DROP DEAD HILARIOUS. From dialog, to set, to actor's expressions, it is a non-stop chore to catch your breath from laughing so hard. The plot is brilliant.I am looking forward to a DVD release. At that time, I will put the disk in and glue the drive door shut. I can watch this movie over and over and be a happy man. It is a toss up as to which was more cleverly created, the dialog or the setting. They work hand in hand along with a great soundtrack. It is certain that this will be a timeless classic.
... View MoreHighly recommend this movie! Great characters and a compelling story. The humor is clever and I love the sci-fi action throughout. The crowd I saw it with really ate it up. It's a film that will definitely appeal to kids, as well as the young at heart. If you're a movie geek you'll especially love it. Try to pay attention to the details in the back ground. There seems to be countless numbers of parody posters and great comedic tidbits hidden throughout. One of the many reasons why I'm looking forward to seeing it again. Hopefully there will be some behind the scenes features on the DVD, because I'd love to know more about the making of film. Look forward to buying a copy!
... View MoreI was recently invited to the private screening/premier of Flashback. Three guys got together one day and decided to do a movie shot entirely on blue screens. Since they first created the idea Will, John, and Brendan graduated high school, completed college, and stayed true to their vision over the 6+ years that they spent creating their vision. Flashback is a great indie film, with a comedic sci-fi presence, comedic characters, janitorial robots, and a budding romance! So if you are in a mood to enjoy some good grassroots comedy about the "Hollywoood film industry" and where it is heading, you'll enjoy this movie.
