eerereps I mean it's an indie film project, which took time, effort, and money to make. Personally, I enjoyed it! - Looking forward for Season 2 if any... Everything from the screenplay/story, (good job Anna!) acting (especially that gay dude!), Editing (Video Post was my favourite part about this film) was spot on! - also Ray (that fake and gay-homo-fag :-) ) did a good job directing, getting the most from the characters. what I didn't like though was the scoring/music - or at least the sound quality. Mix wasn't that warm, and audio didn't stand out to say the least. This may or may not be biased by personal passion in music production, scoring, and sound design, but the music in film left a lot to be desired. All in all though, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it, and was hooked almost immediately!

Ernesto Ignacio Seeing the other horrendous reviews on this. I just had to speak out. When you guys did your reviews did you also consider the ff: A.It's a small budget film, B.It's their first film, C.Everyone is still pretty new in the biz. With that said I believe everyone did their best. Yeah it may not garner an Oscar but with what they were working with even I'm surprised with the results. There is a lot of heart that went in making it clearly and while it does leave room for improvement, considering the facts I mentioned above, I know it deserves the score I gave it. OK onto the reviewComments: Personally I love the concept of the show. Time traveling has never been portrayed in such an interesting manner as Runaway Machines did. Yes it may seem like a recycled topic but they did an awesome job at making it modern and fresh. I really do like it. Considering this as amateur work doesn't even cut it as it can be said that the people behind this have truly outdone themselves and are in dire need of a well deserved pat in the back. Kudos to you guys for your awesome imagination and turning that imagination into reality. The storyline/plot although predictable was easy enough to follow and understand. It's the first season and its their first time in all this so its understandable but I can say that it was definitely well written as it was able to push its story thru to people. The acting was good. The delivery of the lines especially by Anna Akana was awesome. Sure she needs a few polishing here and then in some scenes but that can be forgiven as she was able to meet the standards or outdo them most of the time. The same can be said for most of the characters. Actually, thinking about it now I think most of them did really well as I can't find any single one that I remember thinking "oh my! This one's acting sucks". That in itself shows how everyone took their parts seriously no matter how big or small their screen-time. Lots of shining moments too esp. from the character Jay in episode 5 when he told off Riley for being so reckless. It was heartfelt and you can tell there was sincerity in it. Riley on the other-hand was able to keep the energy up on that scene as she explained her side albeit emotionally. That scene really moved me. It was kind of unexpected but a welcomed surprise none the less. The facial expressions were all good. I like how I learn something from her whenever she opens her mouth esp during her excerpts every starting scene. It just show how well thought out it was and how imaginative and talented the person is. She not only funny but you learn a thing or two from her too. Its a win win situation. The video was funny to watch too. All the punchlines were epic. It wasn't boring at all and proceeded at an appropriate pace(heck even my Aunt can watch and I'm sure she'll get it)The music used were spot on. They were able to hit all scenes with the right song choice I believe. Everything was in perfect harmony. The opening and ending cuts were really good too. It did not look amateur at all. This seriously passes for a good movie. Some of you may argue with that but hear me out. This has a lot of heart and you can tell they poured their souls out in making it. I'm just giving it the praise it deserves. Yeah it may have flaws but the flaws make it genuine. It's perfect.PS I just wish they'd pursue continuing the series as it left the 1st season with a cliff hanger. I'm itching to know what happens next.

dooshi In a nutshell this was OK. It did lack depth within the characters. The only characters that felt real were anna's (riley) as opposed to all the others that felt superficial. Anna acted the best while everyone else pretty much sucked.Hey best friend Jay was terrible and fake as was his love interest too - he was really over-acting.The other two main actors were the antagonist in here (disabled kid) and the girl who commits suicide.The animations were cool and it started off promising. I liked the intro too but it lacked depth - it was literally just one scene to another - movies have some filler inbetween but this didn't.Having said that for a free web series and RWJ first attempt it was a good effort by both him and Anna.Full review and all the episodes are available here:http://www.gizhub.com/riley-rewind-review/

Paulo Sousa I saw this movie because I'm a RWJ subscriber and I like his work.But this movie makes me want to have Riley's powers so I could spend my last hour doing something useful instead of seeing this stupid web-series. What's wrong with it? Characters and Acting - Just horrible. Anna Akana (Riley) was such a bad actress, I didn't expect that. Then, the characters are just very clichéd. The Gothic girl, the gay guys, and the person who puts the bomb on the college has a camouflage jacket!!! Really??? Ready on the first act I already knew that he was the guy that tried to explode everything.Story - Wow, the plot holes are huge! The story is overused in other movies, everything is predictable, and with so many thing to pick with the rewind powers, the story is about a girl that wants to save the prom and another girl that wants to commit suicide. Perfect for a Disney Channel show...I gave 2 out of 10 because of the music, with good tracks chosen. RWJ, you have to do much better next time. Anna, please stop acting, you're no good.
