I gotta say I was pretty impressed. I'm not to good at this so I'll just give you bullets of what I thought.

-You're cousin is a great guy, taking on all three roles like that.

-In terms of acting, he's not bad. I really felt the depression and loneliness when he sat down to eat by himself.

-The costumes were amazing, I didn't realize the Arnold mask was actually a mask, I just thought it was an actor using make-up! The Predator looked more traditional and tribal, which I really dug. To me it was closer to the original Predator then the ones in Aliens Vs Predator.

-The action was a little lacking, but when your main actor is playing all the parts I can see how that would be pretty damn difficult to pull off any complicated fighting.

Overall, for what you had available to you, you did a pretty damn good job.

Thanks everyone for your great comments. I really appreciate it. Really do. I hope to be doing this professionally one day and feedback... well positive feedback t: ... really keeps me going.

To Wolfwood: Thanks for the great comments and thanks for noticing my cousin's efforts. You're right, he is a great guy and I was really lucky to have him. I was especially fortunate because Peter was as passionate as I was... about pursuing this dream of mine... and making this film the best it could be with the tools available. And he really trusted me. I seriously couldn't ask for anything more.

Thanks again guys!!

I really enjoyed watching this, Akim. The thing with fan films these days is that the majority of them are all focused on the action and the costumes and such, but what seperated yours, to me at least, was that tidbit of character construction at the beginning. All though brief, the entire rest of the film would have suffered from fanboyitis had it not been there, making it all the more enjoyable for me than most generic, heartless fanfare such as, say, Alien Vs. Predator. Great work, Akim, I'm looking forward to when you make your next film. t:
