Review: Pomni and gang take their final bow on the big screen in The Last Act
If ever there were a movie/theatrical release that doesn't really call for my two cents, it's probably The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act . The independently produced show, which has become a worldwide phenomenon online, has inspired fans to go into theory-spinning rabbit holes, postulate about characters' backgrounds/intentions/fates, and do everything else that goes along with super-active online fan communities. I've been aware of the show pretty much since it launched, I think, but I never dove in until about a week ago, to prepare for the big-screen finale, which includes the show's eighth (already-online) episode and the super-sized ninth episode, which will be online later this month. So I came into The Last Act from a very different place than (presumably) most of the other people at my packed afternoon screening yesterday. And that's probably why it didn't quite hit for me like it seems to be hitting for the long-time fans. For the uninitiated...
