LEGO Lone Clone Ep1: The Beast Below

Share Collapse

A clone is lost in time and has joined a group of men on a mysterious ship. However, something is lurking in the shadows.


This was our first attempt at a running series. Definitely not the best of the series.

The idea of various individuals being pulled together across time is an interesting one with a lot of story-telling potential. However, thus far, I'm not feeling much of a connection with any of the characters except the clone. (Who is in Stormtrooper armor.)

The film felt very slow, with very little story happening in the runtime. It also had 18 seconds of opening titles, that odd, mid-film credits thing, and then more credits at the end. While I think the mid-film thing was meant as the "theme song" portion, similarly to how full-length TV shows have a teaser, then the opening theme song/titles section before the rest of the show. However, it never actually showed the show title, nor episode title, and it took me a little bit to realize what exactly was going on.

The ending was kinda the same way. With no hints of what was coming, and head still spinning from trying to solve the time-travel mystery, it may have been a bit early to introduce the more immediate threat. Now, rather than be hooked with a cool mystery (time-travel) or fearing for the characters (unexplained monster) there's so much that's unexplained and seemingly disconnected that I'm struggling to connect to the plot.

I appreciate the effort put into the camera movements, space scene, and the large detailed sets. I think a tightening up of the script and editing will do wonders for the series.

Thank you for your comment! Your so right! It was four years ago that we made this video but only until now have we published it here. The video is rough as hell for reasons you pointed out and we’ve come a long way since then. It was actually funny reading your review because its so similar to what we and my brother have said over the years, especially the storm trooper thing 😂. Any way thank you for taking the time to review my work it’s so awesome👍.
