Plot sounds nice. Also, nice editing :v:
Looking good, I can't wait.
I could really hear their voices over the music.
Voice acting is terrible, everything else is allright though. Improve the voice acting, and it may be much better than it already looks.
Can't wait. Only criticism I have is with the voices.
agreed, voices are bad. don't sound like (real) men.

My only comment, 'Meh.'
I'm sorry but even the Heart of Courage, the song that makes everything epic, failed to make this trailer seem epic. That's quite an achievement.
That music is SO overused since ME2 used it.
Sorry but that theme gave me chills during the ME2 trailer. I smirked during this one. It was nice hearing it in the beginning with the ship flying by but as soon as it got into the real substance it just fell short.

The plot sounds like it lacks in any creativity at all, just a mass of typical plot lines, clichés and bland characters. When will people making Machinima focus on writing?
The captain is in a red shirt...
needs a better mic, it sounded like he was on xbl voice chat.
we been having a discussion about how bad this is and pointing out all the flaws for the last 2 days in the video section, surprised its on gmod.com hopefully fumples will follow all the advice we gave him and the full movie won't be so... yeah.

But I agree with what previous people have said, voice acting is horrible.

The voice acting was a bit lame.
Thanks for all the criticisms, guys. Glad you took the time to watch it.
[QUOTE=Occlusion;24867455]That music is SO overused since ME2 used it.[/QUOTE] Pretty much this.
Looks like it's a great concept ...done for the 200th time.
Why is it that the song reminded me of Morrowind.
the voiceacting in this video is absolutely horrible. rated 1 [editline]06:40AM[/editline] considering that the only thing going for this video is the voice acting i'd say you have a lot of work to do
IMO the constant focus shift, voice acting and the fact that it tried to be epic ruined it for me, you cant BE epic, you simply are. Voice acting made me think of a 17 year old male, ridden with acne and speaking into a Fatal1ty gaming headset.
[QUOTE=LuckyLuke;24865823]Voice acting is terrible, everything else is allright though. Improve the voice acting, and it may be much better than it already looks.[/QUOTE] The voice acting is definitely the worst part but there's also the fact that stock HL2 animations were never meant for this kind of thing, and it's pretty much impossible to wring an emotionally convincing performance out of an NPC like that. They're just not articulated enough. Which is why "dramatic" machinimas will look pretty corny and dumb for the next few years at the least. [QUOTE=Antdawg;24870484]Don't judge a "movie" on its trailer, it's like judging a book based on the cover.[/QUOTE] More like judging a book after reading a chapter.
The script and voice acting are a bit sketchy but the whole film sounds good :)
Yeah I do agree with TH89... Faceposer is REALLY difficult to capture emotion with simply because things like yelling and such would require wrinkles to form on their faces, and their mouths would have to stretch really wide.
That male 09 Frohman model or whatever is so overused, same with the music. I tried to like it but I just couldn't
