MAGELLAN (Boston Sci-Fi Film Festival Boston, Massachusetts USA 2017)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 1.8|5.0 Starsì

Magellan offers nothing new; it's completely predictable. The movie comes off as a school project production. It wants to be great, but it fails to deliver. Director Rob York shows potential for the future and deserves encouragement, but this film doesn’t actualize that potential.
