Beyond the Mask Audience Reviews

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
lamorak13 My old childhood friend and I watched this together, myself for the second time. This is a movie that is rare these days, full of important themes like redemption and love. This is an historical costume piece and easily one of the best ones. I thought the lead couple were great together and interestingly, they married several months later, a happy postscript to the movie. I have 4,000 movies in my collection and this is in the top rank. I found the acting very good. Just for the record, I am a PhD in History, a former military officer, an adjunct Associate Professor and a Christian. Bravo to all who made this movie!
Eve Lin I rented this movie online and at first I was curious and intrigued by the trailer but the disappointment fell really quick after 10 minutes watching it. The romance is suppressing and rigid, I will suggest either go all the way like 'Pride and Prejudice' or the extreme sexy/ love in 'The Tudors' . The action scene is confusing and certainly not exciting, especially I couldn't identify the servants worked for either the good side or the bad side (for some reason, there isn't any differences). It is quite a predictable story but the plots keeps jumping / certain scenes being shorten / inconsistency of the scenes in this feature, they are all confusing. I see the credits style is similar to 'Sherlock Holmes'(the one directed by Guy Ritchie), the music director/ producer seems to attempt to create a combination of 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and 'Emma' which is not a good idea. It is like too much going on in the feature and I couldn't focus not even on the lead actor/tress. However, I do have to say, well spent on the sets, costumes and lots of extras which proved the director really made some efforts there. The lead actor is quite motionless and not in the character from my point of view(as an audience). Overall, quite disappointed with this feature.
Dr_Sagan This is a low budget movie (not that $4M are to be considered as a low budget per se) with unknown to me actors with the exception of Indiana Jones's iconic actor John Rhys-Davies (who may actually look better in his 70s).Anyway this is an uneven movie, and by that I mean that, because of its ambition, it excels in some of its aspects and fails miserably to other.Music has an epic Zimmer-ish feeling and sets the tone right especially when the hero goes to America. It is obviously sampled orchestras but it has the volume and the feel that you would expect from a major movie.The editing is stellar too. A couple of fights in the beginning of the film, like inside a carriage and later in a small hut, were edited superbly and mask the otherwise lame fight choreography. Usually a shaken camera and fast edits ruin any effort for a decent fight, that looks eventually fake, but in this the result is beyond expectation.The acting though is really, really bad. Even laughable. The 2 leads Andrew Cheney and Kara Killmer give performances for the Golden Raspberry Awards. I thought for a moment that I was watching a rehearsal from "The dancing cavalier" (Singin' in the Rain (1952)). The other actors (with the exception of Davies) give abysmal performances too.The CGI are terrible and unnatural. I understand that it was necessary to give the impression of a big film (ships of the 17th century, zoom-in aerial shots etc.) but they had the opposite result.The plot is good enough. The costumes nice. So you end up with an uneven film... I don't hate it. I found it cute here and there but maybe it would be better to pursuit a milder less ambitious goal and make better use of their budget...
TechStuf It is easy to see why this production has received mixed reviews! It hearkens back to the time when movies were produced with heart, without guile, and produced to inspire! Such is "out of vogue" in a day and age where such "corniness" is trivially dismissed as juvenile and unpolished.This is exactly why I loved it! The action, the story, the CGI....came together for a truly entertaining experience!But who am I to critique such things; Truth be told I'd much rather watch local children perform an impromptu early U.S. Colonial play, than the VAST majority of what passes for "entertainment" from the pits of "HellyWeird".As we all watch those collective chickens - "Those who will not remember the mistakes of the past are condemned to repeat them" - Santayana... Come home to roost, We would do well to try and remember the Successes of the past. Those victories that made this nation last as long as it has.Another truly inspiring movie: The Count of Monte Cristo, starring Jim Caviezel, along with many others, was belittled by the vipers that run HellyWeird. The poison that gushes continually from those who are allowed control of our nation's corporate media, entertainment, and education systems, is an acrid, thorny, testament to our complacence; our nation's forgetfulness.ANY reminder of what and why She once was, blemishes and all, is heartily welcomed in my book.I sincerely hope the Burns Brothers keep at it!In any & all the ways that TRULY matter.And if your are among that intrepid sort who still value Truthful, even AMAZING, inspiration, Net Search: "Ancient High Performance Electric Motors that are still in Production".Good Journeys
