Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

cjgrayso That's about all I want to say regarding the "director's cut" version of this movie. Sorry Mr. Stevenson. It is not very good I'm afraid. But the music's alright.And the comparison to ELI (on Amazon Prime) was rather misleading and not at all accurate. I love ELI so my hope was this would be close. NOPE. Then there is the fact that I inadvertently paid for this (as a Amazon Prime member it should be free). The music is Goya's Child which is a band I'd not heard of before. So I guess I got something for my $2.99.Additionally, I'm expected to fill up 10 lines of text or my review will not be posted. Am I back in high school? I enjoy reading/writing succinct reviews. This is just not fair.

johnranko Having read the reviews here both positive and negative I would just like to point out that Freedom Deep was a very low budget, independently financed Austrailain feature film shot on 35mm virtually stolen from the producers by 1st Miracle Pictures (Menahem Golan etc) before it was properly finished. Back in 1998 we were young, naive, without legal representation, and seduced by these 'Hollywood Producer/Distributors' who then exploited the film selling it to international DVD and Television markets. We were essentially ripped off, saw no profits or returns and had to wait for the rights to expire to complete the picture the way it was intended. This is being explored in a documentary currently in production.FREEDOM DEEP (Final Directors Version) is completed and will be released in late 2008 on Amazon.com.This version is 50-60% different in content and superior on every other level (aka The Samsara Chronicles). It has now been in production since 1994 and has received positive feedback, encouragement and contribution from a variety of film makers (such as Wim Wenders) that has helped shape its development.www.freedomdeep.com Freedom Deep FDV is not intended to be taken too seriously, it is a piece of pop culture with many references to contemporary cultural icons and broader world issues such as Sept 11, the war on terror etc. The narrative includes visual imagery, music, poetry, and a sense of broad stroke unbiased prophecy to tell what is ultimately a very humanistic and uplifting tale. The audience is invited to think a little and draw their own conclusions from the clues given or they can just sit back enjoy the music and be inspired by the cinematography of Karl von Moller.Aaron Stevenson (21st August 2008) "If a stranger should fall from the sky to the ground, tell me what would he think when he looked around?"

alansmithee04 Take "Six-String Samurai," suck every last bit of humor and talent out of it, set it in Australia and it STILL wouldn't be as awful as this unwatchable mess of self-obsessed celluloid.Not so much a movie as it is a horrendously long, mind-bendingly pretentious music video - "Freedom Deep" may very well qualify for Legendary Bad Movie status. At the very least it has to be one of the most toxically self-indulgent train wrecks since "Lisztomania" - which is an achievement of sorts, I suppose.The film's story, such as it is, concerns the efforts of Liam to bring the holy word of Kurt Cobain (!) to a suffering, nuke-ravaged humanity. Interspersed with this epic quest are flash backs to Liam's youth when he was a pudgy, abused kid who looks abso-tootly-ootly nothing like his older self.If the plot of this film sounds even mildly interesting - it's not. It's tedious and trite by turns and the film's only saving grace is that there's no dialog. Indeed, I can't even begin to imagine how teeth-grindingly awful this mis-begotten mess would be if we had to listen to these characters speak.

astevenson7 This is one of those flicks with great visuals and soundtrack that ya can just sit back and take in. There's some serious undertones and bulk references to pop culture that are just under the surface. A bit like Pink Floyds THE WALL meets HIGHLANDER. The look is also a little MAD MAX. The soundtrack by Goya's Child keeps the momentum and pace. I particularly liked the flashback sequences to the past that are presented in a washed out grainy sort of look that contrast well with the future high tech 35mm scenes. The themes raised touch on religion, homosexuality, parenthood, victimization, ambition, mythology etc. The stars appear to be new comers i.e Peter Benson, Lorelei Garner, Oliver Dutton, Charles Wood, Ross Simmons but performances are solid throughout. The premise concerns an assassin hunting down a prophet poet in the future across the wasteland. We don't really find out exactly who sent her and an uneasy alliance and eventual romance of sorts develops..... A grungy voice over lends an unsettling presence and is the last performance by Harold Baigent the narrator of MAD MAX 2 The Road Warrior.
