Chris-Aldin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Love- A Story]

Cute, and very well done!

Great job on this. I loved your first animation and i love this one too, and which one is better im not quite sure. The other one had humour, this one had a message, and a great feel that many flash either dont do or cant do correctly. Im talking of a love story.

The graphics in this were simple, but i loved them. The drawings were great, you did a good job of making Evee, one of the cutest pokemon! They were so cute <3!! I also liked the backrounds, very cool. The animation was good just like everything else. I think i just like your animating style overall, which is why the graphics appeal to me. The style of this movie was great, though it was a tad slow paced at the beginning. The idea was good and i liked the way you presented it as well: using one of your own love stories, but with cute creatures. The sound was good for what there was, too bad it was just the song, i would have liked more. But good choice on the song.

Overall this was a great movie for some very different reasons than your other submission. I want to see more by you soon, you seem to have a future in flash. Keep it up! 4/5

[Lord of the Clocks pt. 1a]

Wow, i wasnt expecting this on clock day!!

On clock day, many members of the clock crew will make sub par flash that would on a regular day be blammed or just pass judgement, there were some pretty good ones though. And to see something like this submitted on clock day was a real treat, with effort pouring out of it. From what i have seen this is amongst the best clock movie i have ever seen, it is definitely up there with 21 o'clock street which at the time was my favourite clock movie. Well here is my review.

The graphics were awesome. This is some of the best animation to come from the clocks, if not the best. The drawings were the typical great of clock animation, but this time you crammed detail into each one, and i was really impressed with it. There is effort in every little thing in this movie, the backrounds are no exception. At some points they were stunning, and at others simply beautiful. The detail in them was no less awesome than the rest of the stuff. The animation was very smooth throughout, well after i turned down the quality because i was on my friends computer. Really overall just a fantastic job on the graphics. The style was nothing less than perfect in this, andi dont think i gave ever given a perfect 10 for style on any clock movie before. First your animating style was improved over that of a typical clock submission. The idea is probably the main thing for style in this case, it was clever and extremely well executed. I loved how it was a spoof of Lord of the Rings, using clocks and newgrounds. The sound was amazing too, for really every reason i can think of. It set the mood extremely well, and the music was the one from LOTR i think, and it helped get that feel across to the viewers. The sound effects were fantastic, they were very numerous, effectively used and just sounded plain cool. The voice acting was simply superb. The humour in this came from the idea, i didnt really laughed but i found the whole thing amusing.

Overall this is the best clock submission i have ever seen. I hope you can continue with this series, its sure to be a great one, and if you are planning a series, dont keep me waiting for too long!! I want more! 5/5

StrangeClock responds:

Thanks very much man. Generally the Clock Crew likes to expect that most submissions on Clock Day are works carefully planned and started well in advance, but there will always be some last minute works and spammy pranks, this year being exceptional in that respect. Most likely, next year steps will be taken to prevent it from happening again.

[GoodBye ClockDay]

Im touched...

This was actually a good movie, despite being very simple. It was actually witty, amusing, and a great final submission for clock day. Im glad in a way that clock day is over, but at the same time im very dissapointed. This day was stressful at times, when there were so many under judgement films, but it felt good looking in my profile and seeing all those new saves.

The graphics were good, but there wasnt much too them, just a cool looking NG backround and Sirclock himself, though he was nicely animated. The style was easily the best part about this movie. I loved the idea of saying one final farewell as clock day came to a close. And you did it with style, in poetic form and such. Some lines were very witty, and some were humourous. The sound was good enough, just a clock's voice.

Overall a great movie ended a fun day for me. Thanks for all the saves, and i want to be a part of my 2nd clock day ever, and the 5th annual in 2006. 4/5

[Renegades Chapter 1]

Awesome*Standing Ovation*

I was honestly amazed by this movie, such an awesome movie in every way. You want style? you got it. You want graphics you got them too. I cant complain about anything in this, i wish i could express how good i felt this was. I am very happy to say this is going in my favourite submissions, i knew this very early on while watching this. Well here is a lengthy review for an awesome submission.

The graphics to start off were beautiful. While they did have their flaws here and there the mood they set was incredible. The drawings were awesome, they had a really cool style to them, though they could be more detailed on occasion. The colours were awesome, mostly in the backround where they were absolutely stunning. The dusty look of them was damn cool throughout, and you created the perfect setting for a movie about drifters and renegades. The animation was great, but it could be smoother, try to work on that in the future. The style of this movie was nothing short of perfect. The animating style first of all was awesome, all the drawings fit in together perfectly, and they fit with the backrounds. That is a tough style to make. The idea of this is very good, and very well presented. This is an idea that has to be done very well to be amusing in any way. The story is amazing too, the plot is compelling and seems to be very well thought out. The story alone would almost make a great flash. The sound in this wasnt quite perfect, but since you used everything so damn well, i gave a 10. To start, the sound effects you used were all cool, and not only that they were perfectly insync. The voices were awesome too, they were just about perfect because of their wonderful expression and characterization, it is these that went out of sync at one part, however. The music was my favourite part about sound and ill tell you why. It was a heart felt song, and chosen perfectly. I think that song was in armageddon and i have been dying to hear it again. Great violence too :D.

Overall, this deserves a solid 10 in my opinion. While it did have some flaws those were very easy to overlook because the other elements made up for it with ease. Anyways this looks to be my new favourite series, if it continues this way. I cant wait until the next episode. Please make it as good as this one! Congrats!! 5/5

[Daily2oon08152005]

The best Daily 2oon yet.

This one actually had a good deal of effort, and im not just saying this because its clock day, though it does help a bit ;D. There wasnt one clip that really amazed me, but it was rather this collab as a whole that made it good. Here is my first review for a Daily 2oon submission.

The graphics in some were admittedly good, but in others they could be better. Effort is the key in those not so good cases. I liked the first clip i think it was, it was my favourite in terms of animation. The style was good, mainly because it was a collaboration and i always give collabs high style points. But you also had a theme in this one which is a first. The sound was good, a little above average, but i dont really have anything to say here.

Overall this was a good Daily2oon, after watching this i actually want to see more of them. Good job guyz, you have finally earned my respect. 4/5

[Space Jerks : Episode 3]

Good.

With some improvements this could be one hell of a series. It just lacks some things, not so much entire elements, but little extras here and there that make the final product much better. Either way this was well done, and at points it was certainly fun to watch.

The graphics were only good sometimes, which i was pleased with. Keep trying and they will get better. The character drawings lacked structure and detail. The backrounds and environments were well done i must say. The animation was smooth on occasion. The stlye of this movie was great, not because of your animating style or the length, but because of your well presented idea. I felt there should have been more progression of the story in this episode. I liked how you got to see his thoughts. The sound was good, i really enjoyed the voice acting. The sound effects were not half bad either. The humour in this was good for its length, but more jokes would obviously help.

Overall this was a well done movie, but keep working on everything and this series will start to get even better. Here is a 4/5!

[Natural Flight]

Nice.

This was great, but i was really expecting something longer. I really enjoyed what i saw, its a shame it all ended so quickly. Nothing was bad about this either, if it was full length, this could easily have a score above 4.00. Well here is my review.

The graphics were really impressive. I found the drawings really pleasant to look at, and they were simply well drawn. The backround was beautiful, and it set the feeling i think you wanted .All this was accompanied by great animation. The style of this movie was great except for the length obviously. It definitely should be longer. Other than that i really enjoyed your animating style, and the idea. The sound was great in this. In this case its just a matter of using more sound effects, thats hard to do in such a short movie.

Overall this was great, with only one big set back. Please make a full length animation as soon as you can, ill be looking forward to it! 4/5

Astropuff responds:

I figured the main complaint would be length from most people, but I'm just starting to fiddle around with more complex FBF and I did not want to end up trying something that was too hard for me to complete; or possibly even make.

There are some very nice plot-filled animations similar to this that I "want" to do, but I need to figure out a bit more human anatomy/FBF before I take on the challenge of creating one of those full length animations. So for now, I'm pacing myself so that I steadily reach my goal.

[Forsaken - Episode 1]

The new definition of cool stix!!!

Wow man, this is without a doubt my new favourite stick movie, it is so damn cool. Its just like woah, omgzorz. Seriously though this was a really awesome movie and it is going in my favourites as soon as i finish this review. I think im really going to love this series, and i hope theykeep on getting better and better. Just wow, .....here is my review!

The graphics were awesome, and not only that, they were sticks!!! Since when were sticks supposed to be cool, or well animated? Usually sticks are an excuse for lack of animating talent. The drawings, even of the sticks, were awesome. The backrounds were all damn cool, and the sticks were damn cool as well. I really liked how the backrounds set the mood when they needed too. And the animation was amazing too, it was all smooth and just plain well done. The style of this movie was incredible. On the rare occasion where i see a great stick movie i always give high style points, because it isalmost like they are completely original movie, not that this wasnt. This had a deep and compelling story that would please anyone looking for a good plot. Your presentation of your idea was awesome, this has everything a first episode should have, such as a good introduction. The sound was nothing short of wicked cool. Maybe the quality wasnt the best at all times but the sounds were really good. Not only that but the voices were superb aswell, they reminded me of the Xombie voices. Plenty of viiolence in this, i like violence!!

Overall this was a really awesome movie, i wisah i could express how cool i found this. This is going in my favourites right away, and with a couple more episodes as good as this, you will be in my favourite authors, and this will be up there with my favourite series. Keep it up man!!!!!!!!!!! 5/5
