Alright, I know this is a little late on a review, but as one film maker to another, I'll give some advice (weather you take it is not my concern)
First off, heres my score:
2 stars, and heres why:
Ups:The movie surprisingly caught my interest.The story line was adequate, if not great. But it did leave you watching saying "hm, not bad"
Downs:Despite the plot, you lacked certain quality that make it a 'must-see' :
There was no voice acting, and even so, the text got hard to read and look at the visuals at the same time. Never use text-talk as main dialog, its very poor quality.
The dialog itself was, horrible. Since when does a man say "My son's the guy they kidnapped" or answers the police man with "K" or "My son is missing. Unless the news lied to me" (huk huk huk) ?
Third, There was no indication of ANY names. I didn't even know who was who half the time. All the characters talked the same, all of them looked a lot a like, and no one of them had names. How is an audience (even if its a blockland movie) supposed to connect to the same character 20 times? It leaves you feeling unwhole about the movie, like: "he died... big whoop."
The camera work was really bad. Was it supposed to look in game? Because with a brick menu lingering at the bottom, and the "E = Paint" can on the side got really annoying. Ever heard of F8? Plus it was constantly moving, and that just got aggravating. It felt like it was all one single shot.
The building was noob. Nothing looked spectacular, and everything was so plain and barren in colors and detail, you couldn't even appreciate the scenery. Now, this isn't really a factor in a movie made in blockland, but If you ever make a movie, make sure you don't shoot in empty rooms. The audience likes to look at the backdrop, it lets you know where the setting is, rather than "now we're in the blue room instead of the red room."
I guess I've said all I can say. This isn't a bad movie plot-wise, but other than that it was a
blocksoffice bust. Try to take into consideration of the constructive criticism I gave. If you wrote the plot to that, you have potential. Make it better dialog, voice acting, and all the stuff I told you about, and boom. Instant movie.
Good luck on the next project, I want to see more.
(P.S. I don't expect cinema gold to come out of blockland, but at least you could look a little professional)
