Okay, the dialogue is not brilliant, and the occasional narration tells some of the obvious, but I liked this enough to watch it multiple times. It took me back to my teens and early 20s, when it was hard to accept that a guy might not be lying. The three main characters were believable, and they had chemistry. Jonah's heartache and discomfort with the situation were tangible.

Found this film and started watching it mostly because the premise is basic to all science fiction or fantasy. You pose an intriguing "what if" and then see how people deal with it. The more interesting the "what if", and how well the writing proceeds logically and realistically from there, the better.My wife and I watched the movie together and enjoyed it very much. Sure, it's not perfect. There are a number of obvious musical and driving fillers for example that mostly eat up time do not move the plot along much. However, the writing and acting is good throughout, and we really cared about what would happen to the main characters. We even cared about some of the secondary ones.This is my first review. I looked the movie up on IMDb primarily because I wanted to see if a sequel had ever been made. We'd truly like to see where the story goes from where it ended.Kudos to all involved!

I had read so many good things about Dakota Skye, that I had to track it down and give it a spin. I agree with some of the positive things that have been said about it. The young actors that are the stars were uniformly wonderful and believable. The direction and acting all shared an organic feel, that made it easy to get into the vibe of the movie. Other than that, I wasn't really wowed by Dakota Skye. The story is interesting enough, and Dakota's ability, while fantastical, actually serves as the emotional groundwork of the movie. Dakota's personality is perfectly reasonable, given her circumstances. I know I'd be as cynical and jaded as she occasionally was. Maybe even more. It's refreshing to see such a well-written character. But beyond that, the movie was never much more than a mildly enjoyable experience. Decent, but not great. I liked the idea more than its actual execution.

Just watched Dakota Skye, and loved it. Of course Im a romantic at a heart, but the performances are awesome. I was hooked from the start, the movie was at the right pace and was just the right length. The cast were excellent, its a shame that Ian Nelson hasn't done many more movies since Dakota Skye, as he is a wonderful actor, he was believable in every scene. When Jonah opens his heart to Dakota, and tells her how he feels about her, his monologue was so beautiful and heart felt. The scene where Jonah watches Dakota singing with Kevin,you can really feel the pain that Jonah is experiencing, and ultimately you really care how he feels. I felt for the characters in this movie, which is rare these days. I hope that Chad J Shonk writes another movie, his dialogue and character development are excellent, of course the direction is brilliant too. I felt really happy after this movie, and prepared for the day ahead.....hope to see Ian Nelson and Eileen April Boylan in more movies in the future.
