In the first half, this bad screenplay (instantly discernable by its overuse of narration) would have made a fair Radio play had it been written 80 years ago. Unable to convey information and emotion through dialog and imagery, they reduced an inspiring story to a poorly executed TV drama.
You can create great films with low budgets, poor writing, bad direction or editing but seldom do you find a video play lacking in all of these.
The last half is like a different production. The awful narration ends, the actors find their rhythm, as the pace picks up, and the story is allowed to blossom, capturing one's imagination.
So, maybe it was just a lack of time and money after all.
