"Amblin'" is a 25-minute short film written and directed by filmmaking legend Steven Spielberg almost 50 years ago. He was in his early 20s when he made this one, but you can see that this is far from being the first film he directed. He was already pretty experienced at this point and it's obvious as the camera work was really well done for a man of his age. Unfortunately, this film here also has a big flaw. The story is so boring and uninteresting that I am tempted to call it non-existing almost. We basically follow a young couple amblin' for the entire film. The female actress has made a couple more movies, the guy quickly stopped acting. Spielberg has never been the greatest writer in my opinion and it bay have been a good thing that he left this area to more skilled people in recent years. His work here really drags, even for such a short film and I cannot recommend. Taking his age into account, however, works somewhat in his favor, so i will not be too strict with my rating here.
