I have to respectfully disagree with the previous poster about whether it makes sense to watch the movie. I just…
I didn't know about this movie version. Just watched it and love it. It's an improvement indeed. At one point, when they were dancing, I had this "Gaya sa Pelikula" feeling, smiling all over. Then I noticed it was made by the same writer and director as GSP, and that explains it.
They fixed it. It seemes the online streaming and later on the stored version have different links:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZcrI2-kDo8&t=3s
They may have fixed the subs, but there's a lot more to be fixed, e.g. directing, acting, and most of all that disgusting display of a transperson again.
They've reuploaded it with correctly timed subs now, but honestly, it wasn't good at all.
I usually don't expect anything before a series starts so I can't be disappointed. This time I did expect something because I like Gameplay and Best. It was a mistake, because now I am disappointed. As you said, it wasn't good at all.
I just watched episode 1 at youtube. It was disappointing, not only because of the delayed subtitles. With all those adverts and product placements they must have a considerable budget, but there are low budget productions that have much better quality. I can only hope it will improve
So... do you think they are ad-libbing or do you think that someone actually came up with a script that instructs…
I have given up "thinking" about Magnifico TV productions. I've watched many Pinoy DIY series, some better, like "Stranger's Kiss", some worse, like "Unchanged Melody", but even the latter is so much better than anything from this company.
The series sure had its flaws - the script wasn't very consistent, with some episodes lacking content and progress, while the final episode was overloaded and left many questions unanswered. I still liked it. The actors are talented, not only, but especially Kaleb and Axl. Unfortunately the script and maybe the director didn't allow them to show their full skills. Maybe there'll be a second season, with a better script, and better chances for the actors to shine. Cinematography and sound were better than in most Pinoy low budget productions. The best thing - like in many Pinoy series - was the beautiful OST. I also appreciate that English subs were there at the premiere in most episodes, or at the latest the next day.
