The dumbest thing I've ever seen...
damonlagarry26 July 2023
The fact that this 'film' will exist forever as a contribution to our culture is an embarrassment to humanity. Absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Script, character development, cinematography, effects, costume, acting, everything is atrocious. And to think there's actually any market out there which might find this appealing is deeply disturbing to say the least. Is this what happens when you legalize drugs? There are plenty of low budget independent film makers out there who've done much, much more with lesser resources. And, though many of said films aren't great, at least they have respect for the profession. Avoid this. Please.

Critically and Mathematically Speaking and Utilizing a Symbol From Beat Beat Revelation, FP 4EVZ > Fast X = 4 Realz
RightOnDaddio31 May 2023
This film is a 9. It's a 9 all the way. With fries and extra cheese. Heavy emphasis on the cheese. Is it a 9 the same way a Chariots of Fire or A Passage To India might be a 9?

Of course not.

This ain't no Academy contender. But you already knew that.

There are now four of these films in existence.

This film is a 9 for exactly what it is.

And unlike that other Franchise out these with a new chapter in theaters right now, the Fast and Furious films, this movie knows exactly what it is and for an absolute minuscule of that movie's money.

And if those muscle-heads in those movies ever got out of their cars long enough in the FP, they'd drop that dance off to the death with these guys.

187 and quick!

This fourth effort by Jason Trost is all the more admirable due to the fact it was mostly completed during covid lockdowns with minimal staffing and location.

This movie is a short hour and thirteen minutes. It's free on Tubi and you can watch it at home.

If you can spend beaucoup dollars watching the ten F & F films in the theater, you can watch the fourth installment of this on your couch.

What the duck else are you going to do? 🦆

MAKE MORE!

Warning: Spoilers
FP 4EVZ tells the story of JTRO (director, writer and star Jason Trost) and his legendary family of rhythm game warriors, which includes Chia-T (Tally Wickham) and their daughter Chia-TRO (Lib Campbell). To save humanity from a sober future, they must use the time travel device known as the Remix Machine.

Also, if you've never watched one of these movies, they demand that you believe that Dance Dance Revolution is how people battle in the world after the end. In this world, it's called BEAT, which means Balance/Expeditiousness/Aggression/Tempo.

Crowd funded at the same time as the third FP movie, this has Space Ducks coming back to our Earth to rule it once again and only Chia-TRO can be the chosen one who can dance against them.

If you can wrap your head around that sentence, this movie is for you. I asked Jason Trost about this series and how it's grown and he said, "I'm making a movie that me and the close people around me want to make. A lot of people aren't going to like them, but I don't really care. Instead of trying to appeal to everyone, we're appealing to the people who like FP movies. They're going to love these and I'm making these movies for them.

I'm not trying to make FP for everyone. I feel like there are so many movies now where they try to expand their audience and they lose the magic of what they were when they start targeting everyone. Is everyone going to like RoboCop? Probably not. But do some people love it?"

Trost also discussed how each film in the series has become a different style of film: "I feel like with each movie, well, they're all parodies, so to speak. They're all satirical, parodying new genres and new movies every single time. So the joke just continues to evolve. At this point, the same characters are almost in completely different worlds every time."

So what movie is FP 4EVZ? "Obviously, a lot of Indiana Jones and Star Wars. Then there was definitely the Brendan Fraser Mummy movies, Romancing the Stone, things like that. I definitely want this to be a high adventure, going after an artifact movie. I mean, the two main characters are a man and a woman who bicker with each other about their relationship."

I loved every minute, but I've been into these films since day one. I live by the motto "Dance with your mind, not with your feet."

Classic B Movie in the best way
LoboJohnJ1 March 2023
I miss this kind of genuine B movie. Ludacris concept, played completely serious with a ton of heart that kept a silly smile on my face the entire time. If you like to go to another world and have fun, you wont be disappointed.

I love that this franchise exists and I love that it doesn't try to be for everyone. It tries to entertain it's target demographic and no one else. It's so refreshing to see something this unique.

I know a lot of people don't "Get" these movies, but it's generally because they're trying to compare them to something else and you really just cant do that, you have to just come to terms with the fact that you are watching something you've never seen before and just go along for the ride. If you pull the A-24 stick out of your bum, you may just have a hell of a time.

One of the coolest movies of all time!
bigc-3848128 February 2023
FP 4Evz is the best film in the FP series, not only it's action-packed, it's full of comedy, drama and more! Some of the parts gave me the feels like the first 3 before, brought a tear to my eye tbh.

I have seen all 4 of these cinematic masterpieces, and without a doubt if you're a fan of comedy, action & rhythm gaming... FP 4Evz is the one for you!!!

I have been a fan of rhythm games & DDR, and when I heard there was a rhythm game set in the world of DDR, omg I was in shock. The cast in the movie is 100% awesome plus i would recommend it to all of my friends & peeps who love rhythm games!!!

Outstanding conclusion to an incredible project!
dustinguiles1 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
FP 4Evz did what any good finale does! It wrapped up the series and gave us not only a recap for the new inductees into the franchise, but allowed for a copious amount of what makes the series incredible.

-Epic Soundtrack -Actors that are incredibly invested in the world and lore -Booze, so much booze -Beat Beat Revelation

The best part about the movie, for me and the people I have watched the series with is how 4Evz gave a sense of the enormity of the impact that our heroes and villains had on the wider universe. This established a solid base for the film and also allows the viewer to actually be transported to that universe for the length on the movie and definitely encouraged a lot of discussion after the fact!

Trost and his team have done it again by proving it doesn't take a lot of money to make an incredible film, this is a prime example of the quality that Hollywood used to have and Indie filmmakers have been keeping alive!

What about the DUCKS!?
sheresalynnwildheart1 March 2023
In a post-apocalyptic world, where the only remaining inhabited land is Frazier Park, two rival gangs fight for control of the territory. But instead of guns and violence, these gangs settle their disputes through an electrifying dance video game called "Beat Beat Revelation."

FP 4 4EVZ takes us on a heart-racing journey through this dystopian future, where power has shifted, and the local alcoholics have become meth addicts and worse. Amidst this chaos, we are introduced to JTRO and his legendary family of rhythm game warriors, who must fight their way deep into the future to save humanity from a horrific calamity.

The movie's brilliant use of imagery and visual effects transport the audience into this bleak world where everything is at stake, and the only hope for salvation is in the hands of a few. The pulsating soundtrack and exhilarating dance sequences keep us hooked, while the superb performances by the cast keep us invested in the story.

Director Jason Trost's creation is not just a story about a battle for territory; it's a tale about hope, redemption, and the unbreakable bond of family. FP 4 4EVZ is a cinematic experience that leaves you breathless and wanting more.

In conclusion, FP 4 4EVZ is a must-watch for anyone who loves adrenaline-fueled action, an enthralling storyline, and a perfect balance of humor and emotion. This film is a testament to the artistry and talent of its creator, and a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope.

A combination of genres I wasn't expecting
draykonis-196951 March 2023
Many film series follow a certain path. Maybe they were all fantasy films? Maybe all science fiction? Maybe a series of dystopias? Never before have I seen a series that followed all of the above like the FP has. FP 4EVZ manages to combine the silliness of "The FP", the LoTR-ness of "Beats of Rage", the 80's dystopia of "Escape from Bako", into one cohesive package that honestly transcends all of the above. It's truly impressive what Jason Trost has created here with an overall story that is both hilarious and serious enough that as a filmmaker myself makes me wish I would have been involved with. The first film was silly in a way that it could have just been a one-off Youtube thing but it went well above that, creating something that I keep recommending to friends over and over again.

The FP series is something special that I would recommend to anyone. It ended well, but makes me wish for more. I hope that everyone can appreciate what a classic this is already. I know that it already has a dedicated fanbase, but ten, twenty years from now? They'll be playing this in specialty theatres and peeps will be wearing their eyepatches proudly, because only TROs wear the eyepatch.
