Chris-Aldin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[No Man's Land Flash Anime]

Wow! Amazing!

Oh my goodness! Just wow man! Seven Seas already seems to be the new amazing flash group after one sinlge submission to newgrounds, not to mention it was only a pilot! Really this was an incredible movie, and there isnt any to complain about! Violence..oh wait no. Sounds..not that either. I cant believe you managed to impress me so much after a single submission. The rest of the series cant be any worse either, this was only a pilot and real episodes are much better from what ive seen. The score is there to show how good this was, and im glad its getting all the success it deserves. Well here is my review.

The graphics are simply fantastic, beautiful and amazing. I could probably find 100 hundred words like those to describe this. Seven Seas to be another one of those groups of animators or animators that push the flash program to its limits. Its hard to imagine how the graphics could get any better than this. This is truely some of the best animated stuff on the entire site. The drawings are amongst the most realistic i have ever seen for flash. The detail was incredible, and it was there in all the right places. The colours were perfect, and really helped with that realistic look. The backrounds were extremely impressive, and again they looked very realistic. In terms of the actual animation, it was also amazing, very smooth. The graphics really showed how much effort you guys put into this. The style of this movie was definitely good enough for a 10 in my opinion, when you look at so many different aspects, such as your animating style. Your animating style was almost perfect, the effort and detail you put into it really paid off. The story seems very good, even based on this pilot. Im imagining possible stories for this since the story is a bit vague still, and they all seem great. The idea was presented in such a way that im already hugely interested in the series. And when i saw the creature bursting out from the guy's back after he was killed, i was surprised as hell. It took a turn for the best at that point and got me more interested in the series. The sound was awesome too, the song was really cool and fit the movie perfectly. The sounds fit the movie too, and all of them added a lot to the sounds. There was also a good amount of violence in this too!

Overall this was a movie worthy of a lot of success and a lengthy, in depth review, and a 10 as well. I cant believe what this accomplished as a simple pilot. Seven Seas is on the rise to another awesome flash group. I cant wait until the first episode. Please keep it up!

[Vietnam Recruitment Tape]

LMAO, sweet!

This was really a great sprite movie, there have been so many great ones recently, it really seems as though sprite animators are stepping up these days. This was awesome in every way though, i mean there is nothing to complain about, and i look for mistakes. And to see that youre apparently only 15, you sure got a carreer ahead of you! Here is my review.

The graphics were awesome, even for sprites. Everything just fit in so well with everything else. That is often a very difficult thing to do with sprite animation. The characters were great, i have certainly not seen those sprites anywhere else, and to me they just looked cool. The backrounds were awesome too, they gave the perfect feeling of Vietnam. The actual animation was great too, you seem to know what youre doing. The style was awesome as well. It seems you have a slightly different way of animating with sprites, but i definitely like it! The idea was wonderful, its good to see you put the warning that it may be offensive to some people. The presentation was great, your sense of humour is nice, and i just like the originality of it all. The sound was awesome too, i think this was the main source of humour. All the screams and yells and sounds added so much humour. Their quality wasnt half bad either!

Overall this was a very funny sprite movie, and this definitely deserves this score. I loved it and it seems many others did too. Congrats on this and i hope you can make more soon! 5/5

I shall be making more soon, thank you for your indepth review.

[starcraft ep1 m3 p3]

Great job!

This was really a great movie. It was actually very fun to watch, but it was actually done very well too in every way i can think of. Its cool to see star craft flash in the portal for a number of reasons, the characters and other creatures from it look great when animated properly with, and its a game that i played quite a bit a while back, also there arent too many starcraft flash at all, so its always good to see one. Here is my review.

The graphics were great, i was a little worried at forst because the actual people werent animated as good as i think they could have been. But the graphics really came through when i started seeing all the drawings of the Zerg, and Terrain in their suits. The detail was generally very good, whether it be in the enemies, characters or backrounds. The animation was good at points, at others it just seemed like a simple tween. The style of this movie was great for a few reasons. The idea is great, a starcraft battle, i mean all the units in that game look awesome. The presentation was nice too other than the fact that you didnt get to see too many units, i would have liked to see more. The length was definitely satifying, and there was also a good ending to this movie. The sound was great, i mean you cant go wrong with the real sounds from Blizzard.

Overall this was truely a good movie, and i think it deserves the success its getting, i hope you can make another starcraft flash soon. Keep getting better!

[CoMers trailer]

Here comes another great series!!

Wow, man impressive. Im already anticipating this series. It just looks fantastic! I seriously cant wait until the first real episode, because at the end of this there was a kind of cliffhanger, you know what i mean. Well everything about this was great, all impressed me and got me waiting for the first episode to NG! Here is my review.

The graphics were excellent, other than a few places where the frames per second seemed a bit slow. The drawings were awesome, the characters looked pretty good despite not having not too much detail. The detail in the guns, the characters' suits, and especially the space ships was all amazing. The ships looked amazing, as i said the detail was incredible. And the 3D lookd to them was done superbly. Way to go for visuals! The style was great, first it was a GOOD trailer which is rare on newgrounds, therefore it has some originality. And other than that, your animating style was wonderful in places, such as the suits and ships. The story seems original based on this trailer, and the presenation is simply great. The sound needs a bit of work however. The voice acting was just good, and the sound effects were just good as well. I have heard many of those sounds else where, and i felt they didnt quite suit the movie. The audio quality was only decent as well.

Overall this was an awesome trailer and it does its job perfectly, it got me waiting for the first episode to be released, i sense another great series comingup! Keep up the nice work!

[Space Jerks : Episode 4]

Nice!

Great work man, i really like this series. It may not have the greatest graphics quality, or sound, but its all still done well, and i just like this series. Its also very charming, and i like to see that kind of stuff here on NG. The humour is like "childish" but in a good way, it just makes me smile. I have seen almost no other movies like this. Here is my review.

The graphics while they werent amazing, were definitely good. The drawings were great actually sometimes, in general they were satisfying. The detail was fair on many occasions, but it kind of all fits with the style. The backrounds were also quite decent. The animation, from what i remember was surely good enough. Work on everything a tad and these graphics will be awesome. The style of this movie was great, though you lack a bit of a distinguishable animating style. Other than that i likedthe style, the length was good enough and the story is pretty good too, not to mention original. The charming style to the whole movie shouldnt go unnoticed, and it definitely didnt by me. The sound was great, i actually liked the voice acting. Though on rare occasions the expressions could use a little fine tuning. The sound effects were a great addition.

Overall this was a great movie, and a great 4 episode to a very good series. I hope the next one is even better, either way im sure looking forward to it! Keep it up!

[.:NINJA-3:.]

Great!!!

Very good job on this movie. I really had fun, so much action packed into a short amount of time. Ha! Nothing what so ever was done poorly, and it wasnt in any way a pointless animation, which we seem to have a lot of. This is definitely worthy of the success it is getting. I will also say that i was very close to giving this a 9, but there were a few set backs for me, all of which i will explain in my reveiw, and here it is.

The graphics were awesome, they were hardly dissapointing. This is a very good thing as i always look for faults or mistakes. The drawings were awesome, not so much realistic but very cool nonetheless. The detail throughout was very good, and i actually liked the backrounds despite them being REAL. They were used verynicely and really looked good in the movie. The animation was great for the most part as well. There were a few instances where i found it a little awkward, like when the ninja was running. The style of this movie was great in every way except one. The length, i am always very critical when it comes to how long somethnig should be, and this should have been longer, I loved your animating style and the idea was cool, not to mention presented very well. The sound was great, i liked the sound effects, and the song is what i really liked. It is flat out cool, and also really worked with the movie.

Overall this was a great movie, and a true blast to watch. I hope you can make your next movie longer. And work a tad on the graphics and it will be a hit! Keep it up in the future man!

[go go go]

Very good!

Great work on this movie. I really enjoyed it, actually everything about it. I say, great job for making a perfect replica of those fight scenes. Its hard to copy something, and make it recognizableat the same time. But you did just that. Everything stood out as being good or even better so congrats on that. Here is my review.

The graphics were good for some reasons and not so good for others. They were definitely nice overall though. The drawings were good sometimes, on occasion they had a really cool style to them. But at other times they seemed a bit skethcy, and the characters seemed unpolished. The colours, while simple did a good job of accentuating soemthings. The animation was also very good, it was fairly smooth, and it was always clear as to what was going on. The style was great overall, your animating style was nice. I liked the idea of making an animated version of those fight scenes, its not easy to make it so accurate, so congrats there. For your next movie, use these fight scenes as inspiration to make your own! The sound was also great, i liked how the song was used. It really added a lot to the final product. Besides, i just liked the song!

Overall this was a great movie, and it was quite fun to watch. One or two word reviews dont matter, ones that give lots of valid input should be the ones that matter to you. Anyways im looking forward to more of your stuff. Keep it up!

[Joey & da' Tiki ep5]

Good job!

I will say right away that this isnt the best in the series. It does live up to the rest of the episodes though by being satisfying in every way. I still liked this, it was definitely fun to watch as the other episodes were. Some people dont know good flash when they see it. Heres my review.

The graphics were great, i have liked the animating style throughout the series. The first one i saw had that style perfected, and its a shame not to see that happen again. The drawings were all good, they seem to have lots of effort put into them. The colours are awesome, and they really go to your animating style nicely. The animation could use some improvement, but in general it was good. The style of this movie was great as well, partly because of your animating style. The story is kind of simple, but i think it is good for the most part. The presentation is good, always amusing throughout! The sound was better in other episodes from what i remembered. You shouldnt have mentioned it went out of sync at the end, because i probably wouldnt have noticed. The sync really did effect what i thought about the final product. The voice acting definitely had its moments, sometimes they seemed too simplistic, if that makes any sense. And often there should have been sounds where there werent, to avoid making it seem plain.

Overall this was another great Joey & da' Tiki episode. It wasnt quite as good as some of the others, but it was still good. Congrats again, and i really hope to see the next episode soon! Keep it up!

[YAAFM 11: Scientology]

LOL, nice work!

Ha, nice work on this. I see buy the many facts and quotes that you put a whole lot of effort into this. And as seen by the score effort usually goes a long way. Well this was definitely good, i must admit i have never really been a fan of the YAAFM series, but this one was certainly good. I mean even though the focus point is the facts and quotes, its good to see youre putting time and effort into everything else as well. Here is my review.

The graphics were just great, and they have been in each episode. The way everything is done in this in terms of visuals, seems almost professional. The drawings were great, they were pretty smooth, and overa pleasant to look at. The colours are always great, again they are very pleasant. Other things like some photoshop things you do, are pretty funny. The style was awesome though, your animating style definitely helps out here. But the topic this time is a little harder to understand for some of us. This is a good thing though because we are much less likely to have heard the quotes before. The presentation of this topic was great as always. The sound was great except when it started to go all out of sync. For the most part the sync was very good. I like the voice acting very much too!

Overall this was another funny YAAFM, i actually really enjoyed it. I hope this isnt the last one you make, because in recent episodes i have been liking this series more and more. Keep it up!
