OUTSIDE SOURCES WANT TO CLAIM RIGHTS TO AEGIS' "ISCANDAR"
"For the series, I wanted the crew to seem like they've been working together for many years," continues Quintana. "Building a good team through some detailed and intensive character development has made way for the cast to understand the parables between their characters on how they have to deal with the duality of being a scientist and a potential deep space warriors."
On and off set communication is the key to the success of any project which requires character actors to portray lone time friendships. The cast of ISCANDAR had done a magnificent job in creating an atmosphere of "military-style respect" between the ranks of of the crew; more-so leading credence to senior officers like, Admiral Tera Escher, prescribing the upmost maturity and military bearing through her entire performance, something that most of the cast and crew make comment on each time Zara Majidpour steps up on the set to shoot her part as the mission commander. The Captain of the series will be played by Dru Rovito, taking the part of Captain Jadrian Quest, a character that will tie-in the timeline between ISCANDAR and the ST-BEYOND series that was launched in April of 2006. It has been said on more than one occasion that the two actresses are very excited to be working together on this series.
"We honestly don't know what to expect when season one of the series is launched," added Quintana. "We guarantee solid story telling and some good science in the show. There will be some comedy and a taste of the darker things to come as the series progresses. We can guarantee that there is no "dark government" or an enemy that you can't see. All of the elements to develop a good series will be presented for all to see with a little mischief and mystery to solve along the way."
The studio says that the production to the series, even though it's gone through several stages of progression, produced over the course of seven years, and changed from one set of actors to another, claims that it has all been done on purpose to distance itself from other SyFy productions that have a tendency to mimic Star Trek or Star Wars fan film formats. But the studio admits that it will be up to the fans to decide where ISCANDAR is either just another "chance" film project that will eventually fail or an extension of an older idea that needed a little jump start to make its point.

REMINISCENCE MAKES FORGETTABLE SENSE WITH BAD DIRECTING
The story line had a brief moment to spell bind the viewer into a new technology, which seemed pretty cool at first, but then became part of a mind twisting element to the film that didn’t need to be there; proving that “sometimes the easiest explanation in a murder mystery is the best way to go.” There are several twists and turns that are presented, where the viewer is shown the obvious answer for the ending in the movie, but the director tries to toss a new angle in the story that miserably tries to make you forget that the entire plot was already presented.
Jackman tries to perform at a top notch dramatic level and the films failure is not all his fault, but his supporting cast just seems to be going through the motions with very little emotion at all. Add to that, a lazy and boring shootout in a bar and a fight scene or two that truly wasn’t needed, well…it just goes to show you that it truly doesn’t matter who is in your film if your director is only relying on digital and blue screen effects to make the film look cool and darkly futuristic.
Don’t bother watching this pile of shit, but if you do feel the need to watch it, be sure you have a real action movie lined up to follow the end credits to this crap.

STUDIO “E-MAGAZINE” TO RETURN THIS OCTOBER!
It was only a matter of time before the studio began efforts to restart the best E-Magazine in the state of Texas and bring the Quantum Storm E-Magazine [QSE] [literally] back into full swing. In the past, the publication was filled with organized storytelling, some intensive investigative reports, impressive layouts and fantastic award winning photography from cover to back cover. Even better, the studio has been receiving an overwhelming response from past subscribers to get the e-mag back out on the streets where it belongs and they will get their wish on October 1st!
With the resurgence of new upstart indie film and indie series productions starting to stake claim in the state of Texas and with no bonafide publication informing local actors and producers, having an inside look at following their progress or reviewing their work, a call has come out for the e-mag to return to the Internet and do what it was doing best; constructively critiquing new indie films with an unbiased eye and sharing the information with other film makers in the state. Our publication was widely known who tearing through the over-hyping fluff, getting to the real stories behind some awkward film productions that were only fledgling films at best and separating the amateur from the more professional projects within the indie film circuit.
The new e-mag will also plan to encompass one-on-one interviews with new actors, directors and producers, plus give detailed information about where to view the films that have been released for general viewing or not. The new publication will also single out those productions who have presented trailers and some good advertising, but failed to produce a real product to a viewing audience. One of the better angles getting more attention in the indie film circuit are the plethora of Facebook pages promoting films in progress and which are never released to the general public; the new QSE format will aim at those formats as well, outline weaknesses and strengths from each Facebook page that is critiqued.
The cost for the subscription to this new e-mag with be negligible as paper copies are not reproduced, but profits will solely be spent on e-mag reporters and photographers who will be back on the road making contact with some new production teams to bring you good stories and investigate areas of concern happening in your local community and beyond. As the publication did during it's first run, it is expected that the QSE will eventually have a large fanbase with subscribers located outside of borders of Texas with some worldwide exposure, due to it's complexity in sharing information with indie groups on the world wide web.
Like before, complimentary issues will be given to persons on the cover, persons interviewed, and businesses identified in each new release of the e-mag, delivered via email and in PDF format. Each new episode of the QSE will be released every 60 days at first during the remaining months in 2021, but then monthly in 2022. This blog will present updates with a brief summary of what to expect in each issue with subscription information. The team is already excited and ready to get things moving in the right direction with selected stories for the first three issues of the year!

EPIC INDIE SURGE FAILS WITH “UNDER THE SKIN”

“JOLT” BRINGS SPARK BACK TO AMAZON PRIME
🎥 🎞 Movie Review 🎞 🎥 - JOLT - (R) - Amazon Prime - Kate Beckinsale is back in this action robust, gritty, sometimes overly humorous, but dark comedy that lights up the streaming window with fun scenes, while bringing a clear grudge-like, homicidal feel of entertainment back into the realm of solid movie making.
In the recent years, Beckinsale movies have been a hit or miss with success, but JOLT has something not expected in both the writing and directing department. This movie is clearly an original installment of a possible series which could elevate the lovely Beckinsale into a new plateau of movie-series that are planned for streaming instead of hitting the movie theaters...and I like that!
Written by Scott Wascha, a first time short script writer who also plays a small part in the film, the format of the story falls right in line with what you might expect in a comic book formatted film. The action sequences are simple, but delivered in a style that you might expect from a real life scenario when you're dealing with a sexy, semi-psychotic, impulsive bouncer with anger-management issues. Where most Beckinsale films cater up to a shoot'em up finale, this film keeps things up tight and personal, showing the dexterity of the actress at every chance. Each action sequence builds up with an overly explosive result, some make believe, some very real; but all of which result in a character building motif that makes this dark comedy a huge relief from the other robustly bad films that have been released from Netflix and forced down your throat with exaggerated reviews and trailers that doesn't have any class at all.
Directed by Tanya Wexler, who is known for being a bit aggressive on set herself, I found that the texture of tension between the main character "Lindy" - performed brilliantly by Beckinsale, and her unsuspecting prey is the magical touch this movie needed to launch me in the right direction at the beginning of the films character development phase. Kudos to Wexler for keeping the pace of the film at an upper level of flow, choosing not to use an over abundance of camera angles to "add action" to each scene.
Outside of a few editing errors that I noticed in a restaurant scene, the film was patched up well in post production. The surprise ending wasn't a smash up, "Oh shit, I didn't see that one coming!" moment, as I am sure the director wanted it to be but, the film had an acceptable ending that is surely going to lead into a sequel or sequels to come, should Amazon Prime gets off it's ass an push the advertising on this fantastic film.
Go to your Amazon Prime account and click on this movie. You will NOT be disappointed that you did! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ [4 of 5 Stars]

“TOMORROW WAR” TECHNICALLY AND TRANSPARENTLY DISAPPOINTS
🎥 🎞 Movie Review 🎞 🎥- THE TOMORROW WAR - [PG13] - Amazon Prime - Chris Pratt leaves this fundamentally flawed movie with a plot so predictable, that it just took the fun out of watching this pile of over dramatic, poorly scripted crap that I wish I had ever decided to watch for a fun evening. Chris basically plays the same character he played in "Guardians of the Galaxy," always obnoxious and filled with quick comebacks.
Presented with some fantastic graphic effects, this mesh up of crap tries to pull off a chaotic, fast paced atmosphere with some badly placed emotional slow downs that can only be saved by another rupture of alien prowess that suddenly no one in the film ever expected. Adding to that, there are too many similar plot devices in this movie that were obviously taken from the Tom Cruise 2014 film, EDGE OF TOMORROW; which now in hindsight, makes me giggle as even the titles of the two projects are similar. In both movies, the "alien species" that is invading the earth has a male and female species who are vital to defeating the enemy. At least in Cruise's "Edge of Tomorrow" movie, they at least explained the male and female species, where in this stupid movie, there's no explanation about how the leading scientist first discovered the male and female species.
Take for instance, the "toxin" that is constantly brought up in the movies plot, there's no explanation how the science team found out about it, or what female alien was originally captured and studied. You just have to accept that it as done at some point not shown and that's how it is, so sit back and take it. And in this film it's up to Chris' character to save the day by bringing a cure for the "toxin" back to the future, while he has to find a way to save his futuristic daughter. And lets not talk about how in movies, anyone can just jump onto plane and fly into Russian airspace...Whoah, boy!
Some funny things to note; (1) I laugh that the inconsistencies of the weapons used in the film premise. In the beginning, the bullets used in the film have little effect on the alien hoards thick skin, but toward the end of the movie, the bullets have enough effect to kill them on impact...yeah, you'll see that in the movie. (2) The movie does a horrible injustice to "time and relativity" and sells short of explaining how time works and how traveling through time can have repercussions if the time traveler doesn't respect how time works. And BIG number (3), Global Warming is the sole reason why the aliens began to thrive on the planet...SERIOUSLY???
I need to create a "DOGSHIT" rating for crappy films like this. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ [3 of 5 Stars]

BAD BATCH SLUMPS WITH DISAPPOINTMENT AFTER DISAPPOINTMENT
The mere thought that these “trash” clones had to fight to survive, then finding themselves as outcasts, then looking for jobs to sustain ships supplies and food for the team, is now concentrated on babysitting a "new clone" whose increased naive tendencies leads the premise of every new episode. I’m not 100% sure if the writers have completely loss track of what’s important in screenplay and delivery in character development, as it’s obvious to see that Omega has no development than just to say that she’s in the way ALL the time, or they just lost track of what was important to tell about what the Bad Batch is all about.
There are some kudos to pass out in the action sequences, but all designs in trying to enforce that this series is a credible representation of “things to come” are just flushed down a deep toilet when the direction of the sequences turns to what Omega is doing, or being unable to do. There are lots of sad faced looks that Omega presents after each new failure, that happens all the time.
This series is turning to be just another waste of time in the recent “once a good idea” department of Disney’s new push to restore Star Wars to its much damaged fairy-tale legacy. ⭐️ ⭐️ 💫 [2.5 of 5 Stars]
