Graphics/Animation: 10
Ridiculous. There are so many things about this flash that are utterly perfect, from the beginning when the camera was floating over the sand to the very end when the camera backtracked through the sand and finally ended up on the lamp...the drawings and animation were perfect. I loved the details you put into this movie, the backgrounds when Aladdin was walking through the city in the beginning were fucking awesome. There were a few times when the animation might have been too much and that's why the movie actually slowed down and was choppy, but not enough to be noticeable. Great work in this category, there's nothing more to be asked for here.
Audio: 10
Some might ask why I would be so harsh with their flash audio when they had music and no sound effects, but the difference in your flash is you synced the music EXACTLY to what was going on. When the music was intense, so was the movie, when it was calm, the events taking place were calm. The smallest things when it comes to syncing audio can impress viewers, and you did just that. For instance, when you had the shooting stars at the end sync exactly with the noises in the music...I almost creamed my pants, it was sweet. It wasn't as much the music that gave you the high score, it what you did with your music.
Originality: 10
It's simple, the originality in this was unique as it gets. Yea, maybe Aladdin isn't as original, but still I've seen little to no flash movies even referrencing Aladdin on NG. But to take Aladdin and make it futuristic? It's almost unheard of to do something like that (well at least until Assassin's Creed I guess, but you beat that game out by far). You have some unbelievably creative ideas, which was what made this exactly as original as it was.
Story: 8
I replaced Humor with Story in my review style because obviously there was no humor. The story, however, seemed somewhat cut short I guess. When Jasmine? I guess it was? died, he had those flashbacks (which I thought were spectacular, they really made the viewer realize how intense his feelings for her were) but really there was no back story. I understand it's hard to give one, and especially in a flash movie as intense as this one. But that's my own opinion.
Overall: 10/10
Contrary to the 8/10 in the Story category, I still had to give you a 10 for the hard work and effort it must have been to make this movie. It really blew my mind, I've been waiting for a while to review this, and I'm glad it was when my reviewing style was a little more detailed. Because any flash as awesome as this deserves a detailed review from its viewers. Great job here and I really can't wait to see whatever you come out with next.
