Was this recorded on an iphone?

op- You might want to put away your Michael Bay spankrag, watch some real low budget crap and then actually watch the flick to which you're offering such insightful commentary. Then revisit this post.

I'm pretty sure that this had a modest budget, but they managed to do a really decent job with what they had, while not blatantly ripping off the big-budget inspirations for the flick. (One thing, Greg- although it wasn't in the theatrical release, it WAS in the book, and on the cutting room floor until the extended cut re-release. You know what I'm talking about.)

Overall, a decent ride with plenty of nice atmosphere. The good stuff trumps the corny moments, and I was happy with the finished product.

They used a Red Cam. I should know since I was Script Supervisor and worked behind the camera taking pics of the shot.

Fiery the angels fell. Deep thunder rolled around their shores... burning with the fires of Orc.

The cinematography is fine in this movie. Were you hoping to point out a new problem so you'd seem clever?
