Score: 9
"Thrilling!"
date: November 7, 2009
The suspense here was well-executed. I'm guessing the guy at the beginning will return in later installments, but I'll refrain from too much speculation here. The animation was superb; throughout the movie, I thought, "It's amazing what you can do with Flash." And with the right talent, of course! There was one thing about it, though...and this is where I have to remind myself that this is a work of fiction and may not necessarily reflect the author's true beliefs (see the text Michael Jackson put at the beginning of the "Thriller" video for an example). However, I am generally sensitive to the aggressive putting down of religions. I don't contest anyone's right to believe or even say that they think another group is wrong, but poking excessive, ill-intended fun at them or being condescending to them (as the "angel" was here) tends to rub me the wrong way. So saying, that's my own personal senstivity and likely doesn't reflect most others' opinions, and it has no bearing on the fact that I think this is an excellently made Flash movie. Great stuff, really! Giving a 9 instead of a 10 is simply because of that single reservation I have, so don't think that I think poorly of the quality of this. It trounces most of what I've seen on this website.
