Pure brilliance.

I love this piece. As soon as Mr. Shultz opened his mouth, I just cracked up laughing. And when he say "Thankyou!", it just made the whole thing classic. It smacks of British humour (don't get to see much of that these days), and that's why I love it.

Please carry on making more episodes. It's great to see a fellow londoner on these pages.

cheers mate, it's great hearing such kind words from such a talented flash artist. London power!

"Zero-Wing isn't worth saving" - A previous reviewer.

And I completely agree with him/her. There are literally hundreds of side-scrolling games identical to ZW which have been released over the years. Yet you chose ZW because you felt there was a "seed" of story in there. I think that perhaps you chose ZW because the AYB thing was so popular, and a serious flash movie based on it would rally lots of interest in the project.

Admittedly, the final product (apart from the name) bears little or no resemblance to ZW.

The way you constantly advertised this in the forums were shameless, and that when this movie was finally released and turned out to be nothing short of mediocre is disappointing. The audio didn't fit with the animation, and drowned out any message/storyline you were trying to get through. Sound effects would have been far better.

All in all, a pretty mediocre movie. Unfortunate really, as it clearly seems you have genuine talent.

TFX responds:

1.) I chose Zero Wing because it wasn't getting the fair treatment it deserved. By the time my iteration of Zero Wing came out, AYB was well on it's way out of popularity.

2.) I explain it in my Director's Speaks portion. This isn't Zero Wing as originally intended, this is what was given and this is my spin and expansion of the idea.

3.) My advertising was pitiful in the face of the Miracle Explosion series campaign.

4.) You are one of the few who believe the audio didn't fit with the animation. Yes, the sound could've been better (or some sounds at all) but you are in a very small minority.

4) This was my first big movie ever. To call it 'mediocre' in the face that it still hangs in the top 200 out of 16000 entries is a testament to it's quality and enjoyability.

For absolute crap's sake, will people stop voting so highly on such mutated defamations?

This wasn't art, nor was it it even mildly entertaining in any way. The graphics were a mishmash of authentic sprites and horrifically drawn images. The framerate was slow to the point of boredom. Nay, death. The storyline was disappointingly absent and the music did absolutely nothing to increase the entertainment value of this dreadful piece.

Please, next time THINK about what you are going to create and WATCH what you create. It helps a great deal.

And people, THINK before you vote and review. This abomination made the Daily Spot. How sad.

SplashKhat responds:

Yay it made the Daily 5!, Thanks everyone ^^. just keep in mind that you cant let these jealous types put you down. Enjoy, and good luck on your own projects.

This movie was bad, but let me be constructive about it rather than just randomly throw abusive words at you.

1) If you knew the sound was 'that' bad then why didn't you do anything about it? I couldn't even hear what they were saying, and thus didn't see the point (or the storyline) of the whole movie. NOTE: I listened to it several times.

2) Graphics are average, but it has a style to it. Maybe you should stick with it and define it (your style) more. A bit more animation wouldn't go amiss.

Overall: Just barely average. The horrendously poor sound let the whole thing down.

Shiroijin responds:

Wow, a response with a low score that DIDN'T have the words "faggot" "gay" "queer" "asslord" or "buttramming fagmaster supreme." I'm surprised, and glad there are some sane people here. The sound worked fairly well for me, but I am resubmiting the file with much higher quality sound right after writing this. Thanks for the criticism.

Good

I liked this. Keep it up, by the way when will we see Out of this World - Part 2?

smokeshow responds:

hehe thanks!!! I like to see anticipation for out of this world 2 :) unfortunatly they take forever... and not only that I'm putting more time and effort into part II so it will take a lot longer.... so it won't be for a looong time yet :( too bad it takes so damned long :( oh yeah and plus I'm lazy as hell eheh so that adds tot he time!
