I guess it depends on who you are.
Five high school students on a class trip get transported to a fantasy world. On their quest to return home they discover they are elementals.
I'll watch anything. But appreciate where it's coming from .And, although it's low budget, it could be WAY worse (Riddle Room -a 2016 movie that was REALLY not worth it! Or The Girl- w/Michael Biehn and Tia Carrere- really OH SO BAD!).
This seemed like a high school play production done outside. The story has potential but the writing could be a little more elaborate.
As it opens, the main character is struggling with her mother's death, but holding it together for her father, who enters the scene. It's hard to tell what the actor's motivation is in the scene. Is he angry? Is he abusive? No? Oh, he's supposed to be sad? Good thing that's his only scene. Bad thing he's in the opening.
The acting was amateurish. Gabi Sproule, in my opinion did best- and this was her only credit on IMDB. The main actor is listed as a producer, her mother as executive producer. Also Joanne Samuel, the director, has her son (Jesse Ahern- also a producer) to do film editing, music editing and supervise visual effects.
Although it could have been better, it could have been worse. The ending leads us to believe there could be a part 2. If it happens a better writer, director and editor could greatly improve the ratings.

Probably not as bad as you think
This is the reason a producer shouldn't star.
A cascade of tropes and cliches from Narnia, Tolkien all held together by some poor casting choices. I honestly could not shake the sense that this was a vanity project gone wrong.
This being said, my daughter, the target audience (I hope) seemed to enjoy it.
One of the worst films I've watched this year.
Before I watched this film, I happened to read a review saying that this is bad, the actors are very bad at acting, etc. I didn't believe it and so, I watched it.
After I watched this, I regret that I didn't believe that review. This film is totally bad. The story line is kind of happened to be great if the actors are very good at acting, good screenplay and great director. But now, it turned out to be terrible film. The speed is so slow, the actors are really bad at acting, screenplay is the worst, hence, I tried to watch the whole thing, but I couldn't continue after I endured 12 minutes and 35 seconds.
My advice? Don't bother. Leave this one and go watch the other great films as there are many out there.
