Watching the movie was brilliant. As I, not a very great cinmeatic person, it amazes me that you could make every track unique. Each track had a good feeling when waching the movie, especially during the end. The animations were timed correctly and made the picture amazing. Great job on this part, Unome!
Balance: 4
Overall this was a good balanced cinematic. Even though like 2 or 3 lags, it was balanced. I liked it how you didn't over do it on some parts if you know what I mean. I wished a part that there was going to be a shot where you see the battle in like a high view. That would have been nice though
Creativity: 5
Many things I liked on the creativity. I wish I could have given you a 6, because I thought that since there was a lot of accomplishments in new ideas. For example, the phalanx---a brilliant idea. You made it accurate to what could've been what the Spartans have done. The camera view made the final touch. Absolutely outstanding.
Map Design: 5
I give you a 5 because you made the enviornment have an "Earthly" and "Original" feel into the map design. Kudos to you Unome, and you too DWIEEB. I especailly like the last part, a big battle area (well sort of) and ambiance placed just in the right spot.
Story/Instructions: 5
Even though I like Medieval Fantasy more, everyone should stop and look at the time period when the Greeks, Romans, Macedonians, etc. took place. Most history came from Europe, so you can assume that many important things happened in this period. I myself am a fan for the Pass of Thermopylae, even when it was made into a favorite classic movie of mine. Good job both Unome and DWIEEB for creating a movie that has brilliance in it.
Additional Comments:
I have to say, this cinematic was just outstanding. I loved the music used in this movie. This goes for the textures as well, DWIEEB, good job on them. The Spartan I loved the most.
Great job on this project, and you will make successful movies (or whatever you do) in the future.
Hope you guys liked the review!

Was it laggy at that part where it zoomed out at the end to see the giant of the Persian army?
At the end I felt really sorry for Leonidas and his men, its so cool how you can do that with the Aom editor :)
"This goes for the textures as well, DWIEEB, good job on them."
Thanks :) I wish I would have taken out the blood on Leonidas' spear. Oh well.
Again, wow! Thanks so much for the 4.8! |

While watching the movie at some parts, mostly the beginning, the movie kind of skipped and it wasn't flowing. Some people were out of line and either late to die and I saw some fanatics fighting air lol. Also the way things happened were way too slow. I was kind of getting bored. I had to wait ten hours for some scenes to end.
Balance: 4
The spartans seemed way too strong. 10,000 men fought them and more and you didnt even have atleast 2 guys die. They were just too overpowered.
Creativity: 5
I think it was pretty creative and cool textures and all, light settings etc. Very well done! Maybe you could have tried to make some spartans jump out of the way of arrows to make it more intresting and exciting.
Map Design: 5
Also very good! There was a lot of eye candy and beautiful outdoors :p.
Story/Instructions: 4
I liked the story it was great! Very easy to read and understand instructions and I liked the way you had some extras and info to read. At soome parts you kind of screwed up the names of who's speaking and wasnt there a way you can remove what ppl are saying after a while? I really hated that. The words would be on until someone said something else.

Well thats not fair because thats kinda actually how it was in the beginning. In the beginning their superior armor and training owned the Persians and by the end their armor was wearing down and their swords and spears were broke, so they continued fighting with teeth and fingernails. I don't think thats fair :/ |
