Omgee's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hemlok & I]

Epic-ly epic!

I have never seen such graphics in my life. The plot held so much mystery that I was literally riveted to the screen the entire time. The scene at the end was heart stopping. And the dialogue... that, too, was filled with mystery and intrigue.

This epic flash is sure to be featured on the front page, and I'm proud to say I watched it while it was under judgement.

Also, Hemlok = <3.

Also, MetalDart = <3.

Also, Party Van = <3.

Also, OMG 10/10.

MetalDart responds:

MetalDart: If this gets hosted on the front page, I'll take a picture of my ass.

Hemlok: You are the coolest person in existance. Besides MetalDart of course.

[Merry Christmas 2006]

Nice job.

I liked this, and for what it's worth, I *liked* the fact that, for a change, there wasn't an explosion or a death at the end of this short. It was a cute idea, and the execution was done quite well.

Sure, it could've been a little longer, but I've fifened it because I think it should definitely survive.

Merry Christmas to you!

Thanks, Merry Christmas

[The Alignment]

Nice job.

Beautiful movie with a worthwhile message. You pulled this off quite well. The only criticism I have pertains to some of the graphic execution; rings on a planet, for example, would not be chopped in half. Also, from a continuity standpoint, you didn't explain how life got onto the surviving chip from the asteroid that decimated our solar system. That's a big plot hole, and I think it's integral to your message. I got the idea, but I think you could have done that part a little better.

Overall, I gave you an 8, because I think there's some room for improvement on this flash. I hope you'll take the time to work on this some more and make it be what it could be. With a bit more effort put into realism, I think this would win awards.

5/5 for effort and excellence, 8/10, faved.

Thanks. I kinda wanted the rings to dissapear and kinda fade into nothingness but it just seemed to work a lot better making them break like the planet. Looked more artistic I guess?

Your comments are basically all the problems I have with my own work as well. I didn't quite know how to execute the fact that the asteroid has it's own life on it...originally I wanted a piece of earth to fall into a new planet- makes more sense and delivers the message- but that never worked out. Overall I just left it with the fact that the asteroid comes from this crazy bright star or whatever and has life on it. Idk in the grand scheme the whole thing doesn't make a lot of sense.

But thanks so much for your review. It really put into perspective a lot of things I want to fix about the flash. It was my first animation that I took to completition so I still don't know THAT much about how flash works and how to accomplish what I need to. I just don't know if I'll ever get back to it seeing as how this flash took me a really long time and I'm pretty sick of working on it. We'll see...

Thanks, DogMa
