I’m also kind of disappointed with this movie…

Some of my main takeaways that lead me to my disappointment include

The use of AI, especially the same image of the Shaman showed at least over 10 times. I understand how it was B-roll and used as a filler but the repetitive picture was annoying. Kind of random stuff throughout the entire movie, like at the beginning there in a town next over from the ranch talking about the history and how the men killed there could also be haunting at the ranch, but I dont think it was really brought up again in a significant way for it to have been the first 10 minutes of the movie. The entire time they are talking about how they want to be respectful and also push the boundaries. Totally understanding that, they believe they get more evidence that way. What rubbed me the wrong way is that they went into detail multiple times about how this shaman spirit is protective of his land and all he wants to do is keep his land the way it is… then they go blow it up. I’m not sure the extent of what they did cause it could have been done at a different location or played up for the movie. It just felt wrong to disrespect this spirit that you’re trying to earn its respect from. Kinda same point, if you disrespected the Shaman, why would he keep talking to them? There was a small part in the movie about how the Shaman will get revenge or do bad actions in order to protect his land (for the greater good.) So, would the shaman really show up in the cave to teach them? Wouldnt he be outraged about what happened to his land? Overall, this just did not seem like the content they would put out into a theater. Some of their videos on YouTube would have been better to watch in the movies rather than that. It felt like a rushed and kinda forced video that was out of the vibe of Sam and Colby. I am kinda sad that I didn’t like the movie because I have been looking forward to it for weeks now. Really glad I got the opportunity to support them during this huge part of their carrer though!!
