    I thoroughly enjoyed this film!

    Excellent Film! I am drawn to this type of movie, I love the apocalyptic genre that Rotor Dr1 depicts. The video quality was outstanding and the shoot locations were very realistic. The storyline kept me very intrigued from beginning to end. Every little twist and turn just got me more interested in what was going to happen to Kitch next. Some of the acting was a little lacking but still very believable and watchable. Of all the actors in the movie, Maya was, in my opinion, the best and most convincing in the movie. I found Kitch's character to be a little dry. I will be recommending this to all my friends. Oh Ya, I want my own dr1 if S.H.T.F ever happens!

    Apocalyptic Genre Film with a strong focus on Drones - Make a part 2

    This film is an interesting concept in that its a community collaboration apocalyptic genre film with a strong focus on Drones "RotorDR1". For a small budget movie of this type they have done remarkable job i.e. Cinematography, Storyline, Acting, Directing etc.

    Now if you're a Drone/RC enthusiast, then you're really going to love this movie. WOW.. was i surprised.. the first time I saw the racing it looked amazing but whole racing thing has really taken off in the real world!! Really hoping the non Drone Community like this story as much as my family do and it gets more media coverage. Would really love to see more from the Cast and Crew of Rotor DR1.

    I think it's the sort of film/story that has so much potential!! Hoping to see a part 2 soon :D

    Rotor DR1

    Rotor DR1 is a community collaborative film which basically means anyone around the globe can join their Facebook page and the forum on their website, and help create this film. As a part of the Rotor DR1 community I have voted on different aspects of the film and given my opinion on many different elements of the film. The greatest part is they actually used some of my ideas!!! The Rotor DR1 crew lets you know they have read your comments on their Facebook page by liking every single post and comment. Let me tell you this is a new and exciting kind of entertainment. Helping create ideas and reading other people's ideas then seeing these ideas come to life on the scene is an awesome experience. I think Rotor DR1 really has something to offer all ages. It's a great family film.

    Great movie

    Wish they would've spent more on it bc I think it could've been so much better but I definitely loved it.

    great series

    I introduced that I am active in the RC airplanes and quad copters and tricopters in Netherlands. after having heard I'm about ROTOR DR1 immediately joined the community. I'm excited to see what cool series ROTOR DR1 has become. and the film will definitely be better. if you have not seen the series, you must certainly do this. it's also nice to see that there is such a large group of people who think along. and sees that it appreciated by seeing things back where you've thought about it. I hope in the future to see more of ROTOR DR1. and receives more attention in the media.

    proud to be a part of ROTOR DR1.

    greetz from Netherlands.
