Minecraft Video Trailer: "Relapse"
Looking for a sci-fi adventure set inside Minecraft? fngnation is, and can't wait to release this awesome space-opera thriller, called "Relapse"! While this is just a trailer of the upcoming movie, it's definitely worth a watch, so give it a chance, see what you think! Would you watch this feature-length movie if it were out right now?
Same. Good effort, but absolutely terrible script and shoehorned special effects.
Not really, and if they were to animate it, why even bother making it Minecraft based? I thought it was pretty good, given the natural limitations of in-game filming, and IMO the voice acting was pretty good too.
You know, overdone optimism can be just as harmful as harsh criticism to a filmmaker. I think we can all agree that the lines were lackluster and the people voicing them didn't help much, either. I don't think he used animation software, either, just some basic After Effects touching up.
I like the premise, but the execution could have been so much better.
The biggest thing would be to make a better script. Avoid stuff like "WHY WON'T YOU DIE" "I WILL LITERALLY *unnecessary pause* FIGHT YOU TILL MY LAST BREATH" it's grossly cliched, and judging from the sample the maker can't pull it off well. A better option, if having the antagonist call the hero up on Skype and ask him why the f**k he refuses to just accept his fate is absolutely imperative, would be to have a conversation between the two, be it a logical one or just the villain taunting without giving the protagonist a chance to respond. Have some subtlety.
The other thing I feel I need to complain about is the names and the story. Really, some unknown alien attacks a ship? 'Reapers' at that. Where have I heard this tale before? While it's impossible to make everything completely original given how many years humanity has spent telling stories, a creative plot can bolster any film's appeal (Inception, for instance).
but we are limited within Minecraft so do ingore those kinks and don't let that turn you off to the idea and the project all-together.
