And the camera work looks like someones first use of a camera, FANTASTIC image of paintball.

Cool, if there's one thing this sport needs its more adolescent 12 year olds with IQ's lower than the paint they would be shooting.:D

Well I personally think it beats the hell out of the image of paintball on "the king of queens" "baywatch" "extreme days" just to name a few. At least people will see guys playing in jerseys on supair with colorful markers, and it might be seen as a sport instead of combat training like hollywood always likes to make it. Obivously no large production company in their right mind would consider a film about paintball, so these guys made due with what they got. I know it looks corny, stupid, cheesy, not well acted, not well directed and not well produced, but if it can give the public a glimpse of what paintball is actually like, it might be worth it. Consider this, the blair witch project was THE stupidest movie EVER created, cost the people who made it less than $30,000 to produce, but people went to see it, liked it and it grossed millions, and the people involved became famous (or infamous, I can't figure which)

The trailer was just the trailer...

Wasn't part of the actual movie. I actually had a fairly lengthy conversation with the writer and some other folks involved withthe production, a good deal of which was me making sure I wouldn't be upset over the portrayal of paintball in the film. I don't think I will be. Unlike other paintball media tragedies, the people behind this one really know what's going on, including involvement by Tom Kaye and Budd Orr.

Now, whether the movie will be good as a FILM, I don't know, I havn't seen it - but I don't think we have to worry about paintball being shown in a light we'll be upset about.
