I had saw this movie with my wife and kids at columbia college on tuesday nov.21 and we enjoyed it thanks to the guy that produced it sorry i couldn't stay listen to you afterwards, the kids were tired.
This movie is absolutely amazing!!!!! Everyone MUST see this. Best movie I have ever seen!! OH MY GOD!!!!! I cannot believe how amazing this movie is!!!!!!
I just saw it! One of the best films I have ever seeeeeeeen! Great job to you and everyone who helped you make this dream come true. And remember, I'm holding you to you and Roby's promise! haha lol...
Just watched the film last night... WOW!!Fantastic, inspiring, and it left me in awe! Great footage and beautiful settings were abound in the film. Better than expected yet not what I expected either. WOW! Great work by Amin & GigaPix Studios!
OMG I just saw this movie today at Sundance. Man it was a good movie. When I started watching it at first I couldn't help but wonder where the plot was going, but my congrats to the director who did a excellent job at not only telling the story but also concluding the story. When it comes to theaters I would love to see it again. This is definitely a must watch film of 2008.
dear amin matalqa......could u plz tell us how much did the film cost to accomplish???...i know it's maybe inapprpriate to ask,,,but u know us jordanians...we're curious about everything :)
I had the pleasure of seeing this film in an early form and was very struck by its touching elegance. The acting is great and it was fascinating to see a story of peace and love from this part of the world. Anybody with the slightest interest in neo-realism like we all learned about in film studies will appreciate this well crafted work.
just let me get this straight, a guy who works at the airport claims to be a pilot, tells stories to kids, then the kiddos fight about whether abu raed has been a pilot or not.
where is the plot, where is the story that will touch us.
i hope the movie is much much better than the trailer.
wallah ya matalqa I have seen most of your work, and they are pretty good mashallah, but this one might be different since all of your videos happened to be short.
allah ywafgak inshallah. is there a way i could watch since im not in Jordan.
Captain Abu Raed is a real movie with a couple of years of effort behind it. Nothing like my shorts. I thought about taking my shorts off YouTube, but people like them so khalas.
Captain Abu Raed will be at Sundance then in Miami and across the Middle East starting February. We're in discussions with distributors for the US, Europe and the rest of the world for 2008.
Inshallah 3ala khair ya ameen, i'm more than happy to see someone like you within our society, we need this, at least for Jordan and the people of Jordan, i wont be back in Dubai till next summer, so my best chance is to see it in Miami, if not, then ill just have to wait till its on dvd.
This is wonderful and emotional and powerful. You have written and made an amazing film that should touch many many people. I'm with bendoura, if this doesn't get picked up for distribution, I'll be furious.
i just saw this film tonight, downtown at our State Theatre in Traverse City, Michigan, USA. it is AMAZING!!!! 5/5 go see it!

شكرا للعاملين عليه..

Hollywood studio execs could learn a lot from the filmmakers responsible for this most excellent example of motion picture art.
Find out where it's showing and go see it. You won't be disappointed.

You'll have to see the movie to find out. That's the setup, not the plot. I'm not a fan of trailers that give away the movie in two minutes.
