Compared to other Vista Street movies, not half bad.

This is, of course, not a good movie. It's budget was probably slightly higher than what your dad put into filming your nephew's first communion. But I think I can hold the title of being a Vista Street Home Entertainment (the company that produced Revenge Quest) Expert, as I and probably three other people have seen six or more of their abysmal, cheap, no-talent's-last-pathetic-attempt-at-a-break-in-Hollywood "movies". And of all of them, Revenge Quest stacks up pretty high on the list. Why, you may ask, since it's probably the worst thing a gullible, uncorrupt, star-wars-loving dove like yourself has seen? For one thing, you've got to remember the director, screenwriter, producer, et al, is working with nothing. He has a camera and some useless actors, that's it. Keep that in mind. You'd think that anyone willing to do this would at least "try" to make it good. Other Vista St. movies have taught me that this is not the case, as they are so bad, I really hope no body tried to make them good. Having said this, here are some other reasons why "Revenge Quest" is better than most Vista Street movies: 1. It has a plot, and a follows to b and c. Most Vista movies miss this crucial, obvious detail. 2. The camera angles are "interesting"- that is, they don't show one angle for 15 minutes. They actually cut quite a lot, in a way that makes sense. 3. The characters aren't horse-ugly. Someone should've told these poor souls the practical reason they'll never make it in Hollywood. 4. The setting, although innane and cliche, is somewhat interesting. I loved how it took place in the future for no apparent reason, and the director did his best to get this across- by pretty much putting in halogen lights everywhere. I could be wrong, but I think the non-bullet using weapons might've been a (lame) attempt to be futuristic invisible ammo guns. The movie has static electricity balls and normal elevators that make that "swishing" sound like on Star Trek. Great stuff. All in all, I can't really recomend you watching this movie unless you're like me and like watching something nobody's ever seen before. If you've seen any other Vista movies, which is rare, I can recomend this one as one of their best, next to Twisted Justice and Street Angels.
