OneWhoListens's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cosmic Commandos Ep: 2]

Really great stuff. Enjoyable in terms of visuals, plot, and little Easter eggs -- there are so many great small touches, like the cloning machine reading "REKT" when they add the virus, and how the sound effects and music coincide.

There are a few gaps in context that confused me, like why the cloning facility had so little security considering how critical it was, or why they wait until a bunch of guys die before they grab new ones -- maybe I just lack some background here.

Anyway, fantastic job.

icheban responds:

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback OneWhoListens! I'm no where near a professional at script writing (actually I'm a complete noob) so questions like this are very helpful in terms of making future episodes more clear.

The idea is that there are many facilities like the one you saw attacked. Security is present (in terms of the firewall seen on the computer as well as the alarm warning of something going on. It was also night time so I guess lighter patrols make sense there. If I had the time I would have added a more complex approach to infiltrating the station but that would have also added weeks to the animation.

Either way, I appreciate you watching and hope that I could eventually turn this into something unique in it's own right.

Awwww now I want to see what pop and cola do!

ChazDude responds:

The cola is actually cocaine.

*shhh*

[TD-Begging for Change]

Your animation and your storyboard coordination are as amazing as your attitude is depressing.

Raziberry responds:

Thank you! :3

[Jack Astro]

Nice animation, but I really don't understand the message. Why would he kick the alien? Isn't he an explorer?

bandofonefilms responds:

Thanks. The idea was that he is claiming the planet for "the federation" and the little alien is getting in his way of claiming a new planet.

Great idea, flawed application.

Make things faster, smoother; work on exact representation of images.

x2115 responds:

This was just an experiment- thanks for your input!

[Pico: Hall Monitor]

I don't hate you for it,

But I'm blamming it anyway. If you didn't have the sense to use your time wisely, it's not my responsibility to make up for it.

A short loop with no real content is not a winner.

Also, a big blank white screen at the beginning is a turn-off.

PKforce323 responds:

It's cool, you're right. The final product would have been a lot cooler.

[Running Tutorial]

Ok...

So, first of all, you didn't make a very good animation. Very few frames, stick figure, and it skipped large parts of the motion. Looks like you made it on the cheap, didn't want to put much effort into it.
And then you didn't actually describe or show how to create it. You just broke it apart into individual frames.
Oh yeah, and you don't want to have multiple start/play buttons, it's disconcerting.

You call this a flash? It's badly drawn, and disgusting to boot. Please put more effort into flash.

Little-Rena responds:

Kill the sticks man! KILL THOSE GOD DAMN STICKS!!
