SerraStryke's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[StarCraft: Reconnoiter]

Definitely interesting.

lol i dunno what's better, the jokes or the animation. K the animation was very good as well as smooth, surprisingly the script was well thought too and although i'm not a fan of Starcraft, i can definitely see where credit is due. the animation is good enough to keep anyone's interest, fan or not.
voice acting was better than most as well, for the most part.

[Feioras Story Part 2]

Not bad

Like the person previously reviewed, some areas/parts have excellent graphics and others...just fall waay short. but i noticed the consistency of smoothness for the most part, except for the loop of when the mother and child are walking. One thing that realy brought down my review was the voice acting....really doesn't work...

merit44 responds:

Thankyou very much for you input. As far as the voice acting what would you suggest I do. I'm not saying it to be funny but do you know how hard it is to find reliable people that are willing to stay with a long term project? That is why I ask you or any one else out there reading this. I think I may start a forum on my deviant art site just for this. You can send me an e-mail at my general account [e-mail] if you have any suggestions on this.

[- War is Hell -]

strange

it's kinda strange seeing such oddly shaped people who barely look human and yet one does see the humanity or rather lack thereof in watching them kill one another. I suppose the idea was clever enough as well as the execution but there wasn't much on story or it was difficult to pick up anything if there was. Perhaps it was supposed to be seen as viewers see fit but it wasn't soemthing that i would rate a 4 or 5 on.

I feel that there are other and better war movies that protray the horrors of war. but i admit, this one certainly had effort put into it.

[the YuYu]

The usual...

these are amazing.

[Intriguinglies]

Good score dun mean i like it.

I gave it a score for what i thought it to be worth but that doesn't mean i like the material. (just my $0.02)
In anycase, graphics were clear and certainly had a style of the animator come through. Sound was well done/chosen to manipulate the viewer's state of emotions and the violence of Pandora's Box was pretty damn obvious but nonetheless good.
I personally found no humor in it, but that's a matter of opinion.
The only funny/ironic thing i *did* find was in the title only *after* i finished watching.
Won't say in case there's those who haven't seen it yet but it was interesting.

[Demons, pt. 1]

Interesting!

You've caught my attention first with the qaulity of the graphics, and then for some reason, that grandma. Style looks maybe still in development but it ran smoothly but the sound coulda been better. Music didn't really put much suspense and coulda been louder. The violence was more graphic in it's aftermath which certainly was well defined...putrification is never a pretty sight to behold. Overall score is one of my highest and certainly exceptional in my standards to get one for something new.

I look forward to seeing the rest.^^

[Gun: Episode 1 - Part 1]

It's pretty good.

Looking forward to see the rest of the parts, graphics were pretty clear, style, not so much as being there but perhaps developing. Sound/music...not a bad choice, seems more generic though. Violence is tame, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. No humor but i highly doubt that there's supposed to be any humor involved.
Hurry up with the second part.

[Magic Mentos]

DAaaammmmn

rofl, i'm in the library right now and my mouth lost all strength to stay closed with that sic flying double kick by that red shirt guy. then the rest was even better^^ the acting was actually spoofishly convincing and the slapstick beat the shyt outa eachother was pretty damn amazing, esp ....nah all were fukin good. any chance you guys will doing somehting like that again?

[Her and Mine 1001 Wishes]

How touching.

This was one of the best flashes I've ever seen. Why? Even though the graphics could have been better?

Because I love your philosophy. Call me a sap, whatever. But I can see your heart and mind through this flash and they are beautiful.

I am fortunate to see this and has really made my day after a five hour cooking lab along with emotional situations the day before.

It doesn't matter that your animation could or couldn't be better, your style was obvious throughout the animation and i kinda like the fact that you lined the other characters while curving for the girl. Kinda adds dimension on a different level specifying the girl and how she changed others. It was a beautiful flash. A once in a lifetime that one'd really see here.

I suggest checking out Viano, he has potential like you but I think at this current point in time, you're a little more further along changing the world^v^. Good luck.

[Identity (2006)]

huh, story of our lives...

we live, we see the wreck coming towards us, we watch, and just before it hits, it stops. We're still alive.

Are the ones who were collateral damage the lucky ones? Or us?

btw, that dead puppy, i've seen the real version somewhere....in addition to it being whole.

Peda responds:

good to see you found the puppy- of course it was whole- it was sleeping.
nice philosophy-not what i was going for. The fact he' fine after the plane crash isnt the full story; hes been through so much crap for a normal day, he just leaves without helping or worrying too much (possibly desensitised) too bad you didnt like the movie.
