Dark Tomorrow (2002)
Movie was still a Work Print
The film that these individuals are reviewing was a WORK PRINT! There has not been a PREMIERE open to the public yet! The screening in MICHIGAN was shown late November 2001 to friends, family, and investors to boost moral and to complete finishing funds. Yes, finishing funds because the movie was not finished it was a WORK PRINT!
At the time of the screening, an overpowering TEMP music track was needed to drown out bad audio tracks. The sound has been totally re-mastered, early 2003, and over half of the music re-equalized. As for certain scenes, yes, the lighting could have been better. DARK TOMORROW was completely made by first time filmmakers with no experience. A lot of light was used to make the 16mm print look crisp to avoid grain, but AGAIN these reviews are based on a ONE LIGHT TRANSFER projected on DIGI-BETA. All lighting errors have been corrected by color timing as it now has a much DARKER look and feel.
I don't quite understand why someone would write in now to bash an unfinished movie they saw almost two years ago? Yes, I could see why they would be in expert in finding problems with Continuity, especially remembering what the eye line was.
MINOR SPOILERS
As for the plot hole with the car, John Wesley steals the car to get to Debbie's house as fast as he can. THE CAR IS SEEN LEFT IN THE DRIVEWAY, after he has the fight with the mother. He leaves the house disoriented, walking down the street with the gun, LEAVING THE CAR BEHIND.
As for the headstone in the graveyard YES it is bad. It was the best the filmmakers could do for the budget and time allowed but with Color Correction, matched with the glories sunset in the background, combined with Chris Moller's performance, it is hardly noticeable.
Dark Tomorrow is currently being shopped Internationally with plans to be released at the beginning of 2004 to DVD. Don't comment on the Production Value of an UNFINISHED movie or Continuity Errors on a film you saw nearly two years ago. Save your review until you seen a FINISHED product.
