Watch Able Edwards For Free

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow or Sin City, Able Edwards was shot entirely with actors performing against a green screen, with the sets and backgrounds added in digitally later. This was the first film to use that technique, and although the budget is far less than Sky Captain or Sin City, the results are nearly as impressive.More importantly, though, Able Edwards has a great story to tell. That story is set in a future where mankind has had to abandon the earth to live in an orbiting space station. On board the station,the Edwards Corporation has long ago abandoned their roots in the entertainment business for manufacturing androids, but their profits are stagnating. The company decides to clone the titular character, a Walt Disney like figure who founded the company decades ago and who, upon his death, was cryogenically frozen. The way the story unfolds is similar to Citizen Kane, as various people who knew the Edwards clone are questioned at a hearing, and occasional fake newsreel footage is also used.This is an incredibly ambitious film by any standards, but director Graham Robertson pulls it off well. It presents a convincing vision of the future that feels natural rather than drawing attention to itself. Instead of trying to overwhelm the audience with action and special effects, The film is more interested in exploring ideas. Helping Robertson succeed is a great cast of relative unknowns, in particular Scott Kelly Galbreath as the Edwards and his clone, and Keri Bruno as the Edwards clone's wife. My rating is 8 out of 10.

ABLE EDWARDSwww.myspace.com/ableedwards This film is amazing and peeked my interest when I heard clone and Disneyesque in a blurb .As a young boy I had heard Walt Disney died,I knew his Imagineers would not let the old man go that way.I figured he was frozen next to L.Ron Hubbard and Howard Hughes,Please tell me you had'nt thought of this after hearing about Ted Williams. The digital/green screen process is quite a suspension of belief, But you are glad when you see some of AE park attractions. The sci-fi part is almost a stepping off to remake Citizen Kane,But that would cheapen what has been accomplished with this great film…Yes, FILM-No matter what medium .The cast would be of no OOh-Ah, But If its good enough for Steven Soderbergh to produce,Hell Im in ! You will enjoy this movie, Its much more successful at the COMPLETE green screen effort than anything from Hollywood, And a great story to boot.

If you haven't seen a picture done with green-screen, see this film. I just saw it at the Cinequest Film Festival in San Jose. Visually the black and white moody, gauzy tones were so mesmerizing. The story was great - Able Edwards (clone) struggles to find the humanity of life in a world of sterile conveniences. It was a bit distracting at first, because he (Able) looks a lot like Gavin Newsome, our mayor, but...once I got past that. The movie had a great blend of 'cheesy' shots (people shuffling in place trying to give the illusion of moving down a hall), and incredible shots (well, I guess not 'shots', but...how do you describe the building of green-screen backgrounds..?) anyway...amazing looking at the 'ruins' of a Disneyland-like park. Creepy, sad, moving. What a great film! Something about it in the theater though...it was quite pixilated(?) at time...or something... We were joking that it would be great to see it on the 'small' screen some day :)

If you watch the movie....and let the technical limitations slide (which are few and far between...and I'm guessing here, but some of them seemedintentional..like the obvious walking in place shots) you can really enjoy this movie. Honestly, I didn't expect to. (A friend dragged me to a screening in Los Angeles.) It's dark and sad but not depressing. There is a mild underscore of humor throughout the piece that is hard to describe...it's almost sinister, definitely self-reflexive and can easily be overlooked. I mean, it's a greenscreen movie, all the backgrounds are fake, everything is simulated ...and there is Able Edwards, the main character, inside this virtual bubble on an ultimately tragic quest to find things that are real. Sometimes you wonder if the filmmaker was trapped inside that same bubble. It's awesome. I am so impressed. It looks spectacular and it's a great story with great acting.I would buy this film
