Casper Van Dien and Richard Kind were wasted in this movie. Their acting was excellent but the plot and storyline were very shallow and the ideals thrown about in this movie are old and worn out.
The three friends who were the main characters were annoying and profane for the sake of it, not adding anything to the story at all. The 'stoner' angle was juvenile and lacked anything in the way of charm or substance to make up for the dumbing down of the characters.
The movie attacks religion, specifically Christianity with tiresome attacks that are used so often that entire tomes of Apologetic materials have been written to address them. Heck even a Google or ChatGPT conversation would have yielding a counter-argument to any of the issues raised in the movie. It is just sloppy writing to make an argument or point and not understand the issue at all. It makes you appear bigoted and biased just because.
There were a few moments I chuckled and one promising scene with a fictional creature that made me sit up and take notice, but overall the movie felt drawn out and directionless.
As for the audio, graphics and effects, there were times the movie was a bit too dark and times when the audio would get overly loud. There were some beautifully shot scenes and some of the effects were well done and then there are other scenes toward the end of the movie where it looks like the effects were done by hiring the lowest bidder on Fivver.
