Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
smoooge This short film has a lot going for it. It has Coleridge, Gustave Dore and Orson Welles, which is a quite wonderful combination. Orson Welles reads the poem in great style. He truly had an amazing voice. The director, Larry Jordan has animated the engravings that Gustave Dore made for the Ancient Mariner. So you get a chance to see Dore's wonderful art with cut out animation. Larry Jordan does not overdue the animation, he lets the illustrations and words do most of the work. Jordan changes the colors, pans the camera around the drawings and presents strange sea creatures. It is a very nice way to discover the poem as well as being a nice piece of animation. I found the video in my library, put out by Facets Video, so there is a chance you can find it.
