Either the other reviews are fake or

People have no clue what quality is. This is pretty bad, the camera man is terrible the acting is horrendous. None of the character look like they do in the game.The story is crap. The sound effects are bad, most of these "kids" are suppose to be what 18 19 years old? They look mid 20s.

I don't know who would support this on pateron, probably a bunch of kid who got into their parents wallet. I will not be supporting this. Its laughable at best.

The way the main girl Chole says her lines makes me cringe every time. The cameraman needs to learn how to capture sound.

I may even say it's worse than the game. Don't get me started on that poorly put together cringe called Life Is Strange. One of the worse stories I've ever seen.

Made by Real Fans for Fans, Great Job!

As a huge fan of the video game Life Is Strange, I've got to say that "What If?" stays true to the feel of the game. With all honesty,, the acting is good all around to suspend your disbelief, which is a positive .The plot itself is great, as it is not just a live action clone of the game it's based on. Instead, the plot-- without spoilers-- takes aspects of the actual game but deviates from the original plot of the game, making a unique way with it. To me, because the game itself addresses that there are multiple timelines, when I watched "What If?" It made me think that this is one of the many alternate timelines that could very well have been in the game. Also, as a side note, the music captures the feel of Life is Strange as well.

So, if you like life is strange, time travel, strong friendship, or lesbian romance, I highly recommend seeing this fan made film.

WOW!

I Watched this on Youtube after my friend sent me the link on facebook. Oh- My- God! This movie was Amazing and the girl playing Chloe was such a Acadia BAE! The Acting in this was amazing! The casting was also spot on. The girl who plays Ms. Grant was obviously not a middle aged woman, but I think that she did a good job all the same. as for NATHAN FUCKING PRESCOTT WOW! HUBBA HUUBA ! I hope you guys do Before The Storm next <3

Wonderful, Brilliant and Heartbreaking

This is a wonderful, brilliant and heartbreaking masterpiece. The whole casting is very talented. The scenery, the songs, everything is wonderful in this adaptation worthy of awards. The performances of the actresses who play Max Caufield and Chloe Price are hella amazing. The story and the characters sometimes become better than the game itself. Congratulations to the entire team! I recommend this movie to all LiS fans. I really really loved it!!

As a fan of the game, i have been following many different places that relate to the game, this is the best thing i have seen so far, brilliant acting showing the relationship between max and chloe and the events of the game, had me in tears at times especially the last few bits, they hit the spot exactly like in the game, very proud of you guys for doing this, looking forward to more. Also, the actors did their roles well even those with the ssmaller parts which was great to see, well done guys, keep it up

A wonderful adaptation of the game - Must see!
oneslow502 April 2018
This film is a wonderful homage to the outstanding game 'Life is strange'. It closely follows the game story line with a few small twists, The actors/actresses do an actually beautiful job portraying the characters from the game. Especially Max - whom I always wanted to see someone act out as and i completely fell for her in this. Shelby Davis does an amazingly realistic job! However all the actors should be proud of who they represented in the movie. It made the game come to life for me.

I really cannot say enough here - if you liked the game - you will love the movie adaptation - do yourself the favor and give it a watch and you will be impressed at how much passion these wonderful people put into a game that affected so many of us.

A True, Realistic, Brought to Life Adaptation
mariah-3331517 January 2018
I was impressed by not only the actors but the way you chose to direct, write and go through with the film. All the actors look very real, just the way any of us walking the streets might look in a small town. The changes in the script were perfect and upped the emotional value of the original game. It can be difficult to navigate where to go when you're making a film about a decision based game but I believe the choices you did make and the direction you took it were very true to the heart of the story. I'm very much looking forward to 'Dawn'!

Blown away!
sonickid-2462511 September 2018
First and foremost, WOW! I can't believe how blown away I was with this film! The acting was absolutely magnificent, great choice of music, and the story, which not spot on with the music, was terrific. The actors do the characters justice and looked super great in comparison. The changes to the story from the game so pretty good but what do you expect from the adaptation? The only few nickpicks this film has in my opinion are pretty small. The audio wasn't the best at times, the camera was pretty shaky, and some characters being towned down like Frank and exclusions like Jefferson and Joyce were a bit disappointing but didn't distract enough from the film's greatness! I loved the game to death but I love this film a lot more! Would definitely recommend it everyone!

Amazing film!
joeyho-0613921 December 2017
I found this film in my recommended section on Youtube after I had finished watching Life is Strange Before the Storm and this movie was incredible! It honestly made me feel so nostalgic of the first Life is Strange game and I really connected with it. I really enjoyed how this film wasn't just an exact copy of the game. This film had its own creative moments and I really loved the acting. This film did an amazing job of incorporating elements from Life is Strange and I honestly cried at the end of the movie. I am definitely going to recommend this to my friends. Thank you for making this amazing movie! 10/10

Life is Strange has changed allot of lives since it graced out consoles and computers! One thing it did was bring out the insane creative talent in so many f us and that really shows here as this adaption is amazing in every single way from acting to the incredible faith to the source material! The actors are perfectly cast and could easily fit in with top brand movies, I had so much fun watching this and again, it was just amazing to watch and I want to thank personally everyone who was involved in this film! The best word to describe this film...art!
