Norman (2019)
A Polished, Slow Burn Indie.
It's easy to nitpick a B movie, especially one so limited by its available resources. However, I think the movie as a whole is impressive considering how modest the budget and resources were.
The movie is more of a character drama than a high sci-fi action movie. There is a lot of time spent watching Norman confront his demons and reflect on his invention. This may turn some people off but the cinematography and sound design are impressive enough that I was engaged throughout.
Towards the end we see more of the outside world and although it isn't long lived, the quality of the visual effects and action scenes really shine through here. Everything is polished and well shot in this regard.
It's not perfect, there are scenes where things feel a little too slow, acting is good but has its rough edges, plot could use a bit more direction, and other issues I'm sure others have pointed out.
As an amateur project though, I'm hard pressed to complain. I enjoyed my time watching this movie and I'm happy to see these guys finally get it distributed. The love that has gone into everything really shines!
