I am a big fan of ryan connoly and his other work, but this was not as good as id hoped
I know the idea was to make a Hollywood level short, and the stunts and effects go a long way to selling that. But I can honestly say the think that I enjoyed the most was that it really had its own visual style which is really hard come by! I've never seen anything that looks like this. From the colour palette to the unique look of the lenses. Nothing I've ever seen looks like this film. Really ties together the post apocalyptic world with the grime and grit of the grade and lenses, but also pulls a sci-fi feel with the uncharacteristically blue lens flares.
Let me just say that as a filmmaker, I'm always blown away by Ryan Connolly's short films that he makes. When this released, I had high expectations, and within the first 3minutes it exceeded the expectations!Writing and directing was brilliant, the acting was excellent, the cinematography was well shot and each frame looked beautiful, the editing was well done, the score was awesome and the pacing was just incredible!
BALLiSTIC is an exciting film from start to finish. The action scenes are well directed and full of fantastic stunt work and visual effects. The visual and practical effects are fantastic especially in the junkyard scenes. The score is incredible and fits in well with the film. Sound design was fantastic and the acting was superb. Whilst the main theatrics of the film were centred around the junkyard story, I felt I enjoyed the story being developed in the flashback scenes a lot more. My only real negative of the film was I failed to understand how the current story and flashback story relate at all. I thought they would relate in a more meaningful way but maybe a rewatch is in order, which is defiantly a good idea cause this film is definitely re-watchable. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this film and would love to see a feature length version of it on the big screen someday.
