I am very impressed with the video quality as for Bulgaria standards it is quite good. I like the old school grain look. The animation cutscenes are also very good. The background work on some scenes where you composited a different landscape it is just too obvious that it ia fake and more effort could have been put into that... Overall, well done go the team that handled this part.
On acting side, the main characters were very dull. I personaly don't like how most bulgarian actors handle their roles as they have 0 emotions. The only thing thay they are somewhat good at is drama. Seems like they are more used to traditional theater acting which is not a bad thing but in movies there should be a different approach. I can't really blame them 100% as the script is quite terrible. I don't think that you should copy the book word for word. There should be some added interest.
The plot was very dull and easy going like a child's movie. There was no plot twist everything was straight forward. The guy that gives 'em a ride was meaningless to the story both times he appeared. The villains did a bettter job than the main characters in terms of acting and being humans with emotions and reactions. Even the weird psycho with the bomb and the geh flamingo guy did a better job.
I think that for some of the VFX (mainly background compositing) you could have hired someone from Fiverr that would do a better job (4real dudes). Also, please start sourcing new talents as we are fed up with these actors that have inherited their place in acting... There are so many undiscovered talents out there... Find better script writers too as this poetry class type writing is just awful if you want your movies to attract wider audience. Even if your target is poetry lovers it still sucks big time... Like why do you portray the main character as a 33 yr old while he looks like 60...?
I am very disappointed as I expected more but still it is a step in the right direction. Just get fresh actors and better script writers...
