(Superb! This was a very addicting movie. I watched it twice and it was still good.)
Balance: 5
(It's a cinematic... I guess the... uh... story was balanced well enough?)
Creativity: 5
(Very creative! The spaceship design, the storyline, you name it you had it. This was a very well done cinematic.)
Map Design: 5
(Perfect! This was perhaps on of the most well designed maps I have ever seen. Yuo clearly put a lot of effort into this.)
Story/Instructions: 4
(The storyline was perfect. My only complaint is, like you pointed out earlier, there were some poorly stated sentences. Nothing to serious, but it was still a flaw, as minor as it is.)
Additional Comments:
This was amazing! I really can't put my thoughts into words. Just simply amazing.[Edited on 10/05/06 @ 10:06 PM]

I'm replacing playability with entertainment: Attack of the space monkeys may not be playable, but its cinematic never-before-seen tricks makes up for the game play mode. Due to the fact that it features over 40 minutes of cinematic, It might be boring to bear watching the entire thing at one time. Being able to skip chapters and aborting the cinematic was an outstanding add-on not many are able to pull off, which took the boredoom out of the movie. A unique piece of work.
Since the scene basicly takes place within four main places (the spaceship, space, earth, and mars as well"), It gave it enough variation to keep the viewer "hooked" into watching the entire thing.
B: 5
Replacing Balance with cinematic("movie analyzis"): cinematic wise tricks, and other features essential to consider a bunch of camera tracks and scenes be called a movie were certainly felt during play. An introduction, a plot, a story and a conclusion. everything seemed well organized and never went out of topic.
I might had spoted an small error however. In the beginning of the cinematic, where the Northic people in the camp fire spot the spaceship, the part where they run, a Hersir unit was stuck in a cinematic mode animation. Besidies that, No error or bug were caught on sight.
From a viewer's prespective, the camera tracks were exactly focused on the scene being played. units and events played along with the camera. characters werent left behind. The camera tracks remain so in a way where it didnt play too fast or slow, nor being sloopy.
C: 5
No doubt this scenario deserves a perfect score for creativity. A flawless idea! who would had ever thought about space monkeys?:-P The space shots and the amaizing effects gave this scenario an amaizing boost. The humorous parts played well with the plot.
background music went well while characters were reacting to certain situations. The music file from Apocalyptica(Im a fan myself of that band and was actually looking for an .mp3 of that soundtrack btw, thank you!) gave it yet another point, along with the credits, which played just like a real movie! Being creative enough to keep the main idea focused during 40 minutes truly deserves a good score!
M: 4
Map design wise, i can say it was good, but a lack in detail was certainly in presence.
While i may not had reduced points towards using low polygon units and objects during close shots, it somehow made these scenes not look good. usually these kind of objects do not fit for close ups. But then again, thats AoM's fault.
Details, such as in the towns, mars, or the spaceship werent enough to keep the viewer satisfy. For instance, in greece town, a lack of terrain variation, elevation, and amount of objects were missing. In mars some rocks or any detail would had made the scenes even more pleasant. The spaceship could had improve, as in more details with "machinery" and such.
Certain objects, such as trees, or 2-dimension objects in 45 degree angles or less gave some scenes a sort of limitation of creativity. it gave a feeling that it was uncomplete. perhaps using cinematic trees to cover up other trees, or moving objects to face the camera would improve this.
Regardless, i thought the spaceship made with mixed terrains, the banana plantation(which in reality are trees), space shots, and special effects were much enough to substract just 1 point off.
S/I: 4
As previously stated, the story, characters, plot, and scenes contributed greatly towards achieving a good and outstanding cinematic worth of being called a movie.
I, however, have to substract one point due to spelling mistakes and gramar errors. I felt as though sentences were the weaker link during the movie. By far it was the only notisable error in the whole play.
Additional Comments:
Since is a review where only facts count, I tried not getting much personal opinions towards the file. But taking advantage of the aditional comments category I'll do so.
In general, the cinematic is must see. It might not have gotten a perfect score, but is far better than just being good, is exellent! An inspiration with new fresh ideas. whether you are too lazy or not interested in the story, the scenario features amaizing stuff worth seeing! and i'll finish my review by saying Congratulations!

If I were to rate this, I would give it a 4.4/4.6 out of 5. But I'm a little lazy at the moment, so I won't rate it for now. |

My only comment really is that i know 5 year olds with better spelling and grammer; call me sad to mention this, but in places it took me a while to figure out what you were trying to say, and I'm afraid that rather spoiled it. Even though this isn't a reveiw, I'd give it 4.6 out of 5 overall, but 5 for the triggers and camera angles etc. |
