Simply amazing!

I was going to write a short joke review that said "Um ... there aren't sounds in space.", but the sarcasm probably wouldn't come across right. Instead I am going to bow down to this astounding movie and pray that you continue making work of this caliber.

I loved fricken' everything about this movie. Honestly; there is almost nothing about this movie that I don't like.

The style is fantastic. I really feel like I'm watching a full 3D film here. Amazing!

The animation is smooth, and for the most part, realistic. I think some of the movements are representative of ships maneuvering in an atmosphere, but that is incredibly nitpicky considering the scope of this work.

The camera angles are superb. I really felt like I was part of the action whether it be a pilot's view or omniscient observer. Showing rounds flying toward and past the camera was great.

The sounds are top notch and fit perfectly with the action (Yeah, yeah. No sounds in space. It's artistic liscence). I loved the choice of music too. It added a fantastic overall tempo to this movie. The voice acting was also very well done.

The story is short, but complete. I don't think adding more story to this would particularly help the movie as it currently stands. Even the mini plotline with the wounded (turned kamikaze) fighter was great. It wasn't too much, but just enough to make you feel for him (despite being a "bad guy").

From a technical perspective, this movie appeared very well informed. The HUDs used in the fighters were great and looked like they could be real. The weaponry, tracer rounds, and homing missiles were all superbly done. Also, the ability to skip forward and backward by scenes is a great addition.

I guess my only reasonable gripe would have to be the pilot looked oddly drawn compared to the rest of art. The textured ships and background really set a mood, and the pilot's style broke that feeling.

But hey. That little nitpick doesn't reduce the score. This work is amazing. I only hope I can someday create something this good! Bravo!

"Artistic licence" I like that. I know that you cant hear sound in space, but i had to put in sounds because it makes the overall experience so much better. As for the pilot, i know he would be criticized. The thing is that my Character drawings skill will never be on the same level as my animation skills. I actually hated having to draw that guy because i had no idea how to give him the same style. Thanks for the lenghty review. i enjoyed reading it

Welcome Back

Welcome back McFrentN, been along time since you made one of my all time favorites, Brutality.
This movie can easily go number one on the top ten, but it needs a point, no just senseless violence, which is a good direction, but add story, like Combat Instinct the games.

McFretN responds:

Brutality didnt have more story than this. Its another 2-teams-duke-it-out movie
I hope someday, that concept will be more accepted

Finally

Finally, flash animation is moving forward. I am so sick of the static 2D rendering that 99.999999% of flash artists use. I don't blame them. I don't expect everyone if anyone to master using this technique.
