After having watched Valley Of The Gods in its entirety, i can only tell you that it's got John Malkovic in a couple scenes. And that's about it.
It's very rare for a film to have .. so little meaning.
So, let me explain:
There is .. an archeologist in the field. He looks around.
Then there's a mysterious stranger that goes to a Batman-like mansion.
Then there'a bunch of young adult Natives who are really upset about .. idk, Natives politics things.
We are at 25 minutes in a there has been no dialogue.
There is a city office worker in his house and his wife is antagonising him - he's unhappy.We finally have some dialogue. At around 40 minutes in, the city man meets the mysterious stranger. They do not talk.
.. i could go on but, there is no point in this ... "film", where a recognizable chain of events starts happening. They are a series of .. very well filmed, even very well acted, within the limits of the material, unrelated scenes, where you, as the viewer, have to make up your own idea of what the common theme is.
In other words, "the more full of *** you are, the more you will like this movie".
There was obviously a large amount of money well spent on this film and you can see the results, visually it is very well made, and the sparseness of the dialogue actually works in its favour. It's a reasonably intriguing art film, but as a product, it's only viable for those who specifically want an art film. I won't call it "teh worst film evah" but .. it's not great. You totally can, make an art film, that ALSO has a story. But Valley of the Gods doesn't.
my vote: 6/10 - for effort
