Ickicky's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Blasting Space-O-saurus and melting Steel]

This is an interesting watch! The inner mouth camera shot of the character's leg getting licked was questionable ;) however the whole concept of the space dinosaur existing out in a water bubble in space was really cool! The follow up action scene was also really cool! But none of the people on the bridge are paying attention to this threat so I can only assume they're not aware of it?

These scenes don't make any sense without proper context so I can only wait to see if there is some sort of explanation before this scene or after it.

I enjoy the animation especially with Solveig burning through the vault door. General audiences will just say that the animation looks good and like it for being so complex and smooth, but there are a few animation errors here and there as well as a lightning fast timing you're going for which does work for a fast rescue scene, but may hurt the flow if you suddenly slow down at any point. Once again this requires the rest of the context but my advice is too keep up that pace if you're going to finish the whole thing.

The tone feels inconsistent as well? Showing the Dinosaur get half of it's face blown off then having people get sucked into space to showing aguy get buried in the ground Looney Tunes style with his eyes rolling around in his head and then the other guy gets vaporized to bone and muscle in a grim fashion? I don't know it was kind of jarring from point to point, but it might be what you're going for so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There was also a continuity error that bugged me when I watched this:
Why didn't the other area depressurize at 0:20? If there was a direct path to space that section would suck out too.

All in all this project has a lot of work behind it and while it is sort of worrying that this took 10 years to make, it seems that it all boils down to your motivation to work on something to show people and not having anyone to show it to. This isn't a waste of time if you finish it!

I would like to see it in it's entirety so I can understand what's going on in with the story and what the conclusion is. It's up to you what you do from here but I would suggest finishing it in the next year or so and not spend anymore time on it if you can't get it done by the fall next year 2023 but that's just some so in so's opinion so take it with however much salt your body can handle.

Everdra responds:

Thank you very much for your very detailed response. I'll make sure that the guy's reactions will make sense in context. I already have another shot that establishes that these guys are kinda bad at their job and also bored out of their mind and don't pay much attention. The only exception being the female lieutenant who actually looking out of the window.

About that guy who get's stuck in the ground: Yeah that's kinda silly. Maybe I'll do something about that. Let's see.

You are right about that continuity error. I also noticed that. I will probably add some sort of bulkhead closing in one of the shots. As for the 10 year thing: This is by far not all of the footage that I have completed. There is around 2 minutes of done shots for this project. I am slow but not THAT slow ;)

It's nice to finally get some feedback for this. I'm about to finish another pretty lenghty and complex shot. I might post more here in the future, but I don't want to give everything away before it's all done.

[Dogs Without Peace]

I wasn't gonna say shit, but man the comments got me in a tissy over this video. While the *Hits blunt* "Bro war is like bad" message isn't the best here. I finally got in the comfy mood for this shit to work for me and enjoy it with these cool backgrounds which are a marked improvement from the other "Dogs without Collars" Episodes which only used general block shapes for their backgrounds. The writing isn't the strongest here, but it's something! The mind blown analogy is there, simple record flip metaphor and I really like the Viet Cong animals not saying anything and the dog just glaring at him made me smile.

I will say this. It's shorter, most dog's without collars are around 3 minutes or more so this is probably what feels so weak in the writing department for only essentially 3 soft jokes and a really fucking good drawing of a turn table (What the fuck?). You guys did change the line art for this one too maybe that's it... Idk

But come on folks this is at least a 3.5, soft 4. God it seems like whenever people instantly like something they slap a fucking 5 on the ground like a thumbs up and walk away and only when they feel like reviewing they bring out the 2.5s and soft 3s.

Look the animation is simple and repeats a lot for economics sake, the only thing I had to really complain about seriously animation wise was the cigarette clipping through the carton and needing more frames, but it's ok! It's serviceable!

Sorry for the rant, but being in the "Eh Dogs without leashes is ok camp" and seeing this being the one to finally bring me over. It throws me for a loop seeing this one be the one that bears the brunt of the criticism.

I'm gonna assume it's a insider discord joke and people are being silly or something.
Edit: @DylanMann the Kenny Rodgers joke will keep with me "Through the years". You guys are goofs.

DylanMann responds:

If the jokes in this cartoon weren't for you, maybe try these on for size!

What did the customer say to the barber?
“I mustache you a question, but I’ll shave it for later!”

What did Kenny Rogers do after his favorite cowboy boots snapped into two pieces? In tribute to his cowboy boots, he wrote the song 'You picked a fine time to leave me, loose heel'.

What did Richard Nixon say when he bumped into Gerald Ford?
Pardon me!
