Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[THE DOLLAR]

Is there... a message? Don't chase money? Don't give money? Drive carefully? The mood really comes across, both the sadness and hope sparked from that 10 $ bill, but the meaning seems to fly away alongside the paper with that billowing wind... would've been nice if it had purpose.

afrotique responds:

I see what you mean. but the main purpose of this video was to convey an emotion. not to send a message. although you could argue that sending a message would also help conveying the saddening emotion, my goal was mostly to express an emotional scene with the help of music and animation techniques. im glad you like it though and i appreciate the comment <3

[Game Grumps Animated| Comedy Show]

Pretty smoothly animated Game Grumps tidbit! Good stuff.

MicroMashons responds:

Thank you!

[Donaji & the Magical Poncho]

An inspiring story, and beautifully animated too! With lessons to be learned, fiery explosions, crisis, conclusion and happy ending... with mysterious after-credit glimpses at what might come/was/is? The web comic seems like an interesting idea too. Definitely has a unique premises, exotic scenery and characters I'd want to learn more about. Off to a great start!

Shi-Gu responds:

This is so great to read. Thanks a lot!
Hope to count with your interest and support from now on! :D

[Boltron Ultimate Episode 4]

A pretty epic finale! :) Seems like not much more to say at this point, as the anticipation withers away, and peace returns to this parallel world somewhere out there in the Pixel cosmos... tis been ajoy to follow these fast-paced and ferocious Ultimate Boltron Chronicles! Great work.

EXIT73STUDIOS responds:

Thanks CD! Glad you enjoyed!

[Monologue by Death]

Well-spoken! Intriguing. Philosophical. Really like that trail of smoke too, and the notion that Death is somewhat 'humane' even though not capable of the empathy required to really be. Wonder if the narrative's all your own? Or maybe some classic citation? If it is a custom one it's pretty classy! Feels like something you might hear in and old Bergman movie.

darkn00bknight responds:

Hi cd,

Thanks for the feedback. Ya, I did the writing myself. Its probably the most spontaneous part of the whole process, which I really enjoy.

[COIN]

Another promised sequel I hope really is a sequel in this one! :) These game-style pixel adventures are amazing, with action of so epic proportions that epic feels like the only word that'd actually sum it up - overused as it may be everywhere else. Love the style, the familiar coin sound effect, the simple idea that sparks all that carnage. All of it. Awesome work.

EXIT73STUDIOS responds:

We are actually in contract with Makers studio to make a proof of concept with the COIN premise, so they'll be more of COIN to enjoy as early as May! Thanks!

[Boltron Ultimate]

Fast-paced, crazy, crisp pixel action! Love it. There's so much variation too, suitable sound, a story even, it keeps going from one thing to the next and never leaving you bored. And to be continued... will it be?! Ending shows promise, though the title makes it seem like it might be just this one peak preview promo of a potential game? Would be pretty awesome as a game too! Nicely done, and with a totally different style than your previous works.

EXIT73STUDIOS responds:

I'm uploading 2 more episodes today! it's four episodes total!

[Age is just A NUMBER]

Age is maaaany numbers! What a trippy trip through the eons, a whiff of dementia, loss of bodily control, hearing, sight, sense... all those fears related to the topic. Scary and entertaining all at once. Nicely narrated.

ZabuJard responds:

thanks a lot man <3

[Brutus the Bound]

Not to keep comparing your cartoons to others, because the idea and design of it all's definitely in a world of its own, but I do get Samurai Jack vibes from this one. Which is an old favorite, so I mean that in the best way! Brutal and beautiful, and with music that really amps the mood. Seems like a pilot for something that may become...? Hope so!

-cd-

EXIT73STUDIOS responds:

Thanks so much! Yeah It's fair to say I have been influenced heavily by Samurai Jack, it's such a compelling art style, I find myself gravitating towards it more and more!

[Double Date]

Took a while to catch on to what was really going on, but once you do it's a great story. Feels like maybe things could've been clearer at the start though. With dialog? With more focus on details, like what message the guy receives before he takes off? It's nicely animated, and ends great, but not as clear plot progression as I think it could have. Keep up the good work!

CurlySparklebud responds:

The story originally had more scenes which helped explaining what was going on. We sadly had to cut them due to the deadline coming closer and closer. We also went for no dialogue on purpose. We wanted to challenge ourselves to make a story without any.

Thank you for your review CyberDevil! I will be sure to keep it in mind for the next one!
