Aalasteir's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[MQS: Snake Eater]

I find the preloader scene funny, with Snake with a thinking bubble detailing what he is on his mind. Many of the things are quite humorous, and he also tells me to vote 5, which I'm not going to do. I will try to set it to medium quality to ensure that I complete your amazing movie and to save on my bandwidth, as it is quite limited. I'm kidding; we are now in the modern age, and that is no longer a problem. Hahaha, very funny. He also references the Konami Code, which only true gamers such as myself would be able to understand such a complex detail.

There are detailed backgrounds now, and I was surprised by how fast things went by. There are a lot of inappropriate actions happening between the characters. The music is an interesting choice, definitely setting a mood for what the punchline of the movie is. Concluding with the text in green; "Metal Queer Solid"

[MGS: The book]

The movie starts out quite silently; I thought that there was actually no sound. Then, voice acting appears. I was shocked by the punchline; I did not expect that to happen. It is a quick movie with a fast punchline. I would say it is a fine movie.

The characters are more detailed and better drawn compared to the earlier movies, and they resemble the characters from the franchise well. I would say that the camel looks quite well-made.

[Ultra Anthology volume 1]

I was surprised by the winter preloader, and I noticed that you uploaded this animation on December 8th, so it is quite fitting.

I feel it's a great use of Flash's interactivity, where you can pick the movies you want to watch. I chose one with two characters, where it says "10 minutes later," and then he goes into heaven. The movie is about a character saying that he will defend another character's right to say something to the death, and then there is a punchline which concludes with that statement. It's an interesting movie.

The theme song is great, describing how the interactive movie functions and guiding you to choose from the 3 different movies. I then chose the one with the white background featuring the two characters, where one does that nose trick, and then the other character gets punched for pulling the prank.

Then I chose the one with the theater scene of people watching the movie. It contrasts with the stick figure with the detailed pink head and white belt kung fu character. Inside the movie theater, they argue, and it's crazy that Hello Kitty just pops up. Then I see that there's a line that goes from the United Kingdom to the USA. I seem to not understand the plot; it seems quite random intentionally. Perhaps that is some subtext I am missing.

It's good that you have commentary in the Author Comments, giving perspective as to how it was fun to make. Also, it's interesting to know that people should have the most currently updated version of the Flash Player and should set the quality to medium, giving a good perspective as to what it was like at the time. At the end, I clicked on credits, it says I should vote five. I guess I now have to vote five. But I'm going to vote four instead because I'm crazy.

I also remember in your interview with The Metal, you said that you thought that "royalty-free" meant that it was by one individual called "Royalty." Did I find the Easter egg in the menu? I don't know if I did; I assume it is the one that is on the theater one, representing the line between the United Kingdom and the United States. I assume that is the Easter egg that's being referred to in the credits.

[Snuff episode 1]

Thank you for keeping up your early work. It could be quite tempting to delete what you previously made, though I think what you have created is extremely impressive and an amazing start. It gives great perspective and hope for newcomers like me to perhaps even reach the level of excellence that you have managed to achieve. Your dedication and respect for the craft are deeply respected by me. You have taken major steps in becoming the artist that you are today, and you deserve great praise. I offer you my sincere thanks for the amount of effort you have put into communicating your ideas, comedy, and feelings through the visual medium.

Nice to see you customized the preloader, giving it a good sense of personality. I think the animation is quite interesting. I was shocked by how the sound just pops in as the animation starts out silent. The characters are quite unique in their appearance. There is a setup and a scene that ends with the plane crash. The faces look like a caricature of, stylized anime characters, combined with features resembling an onion. I'm not sure if the mouth is constantly open or if it's depicting big lips.

[God of Hyperdeath vs 10 yr Old]

Great sense of comedic pacing with good distribution of line weight, excellent silhouettes, and color schemes matching the characters' origins. There's strong characterization, with expertly timed actions that are well communicated through your fluid animation. There's amazing attention to detail, with dynamic movement and great lip sync.
