doesnt really matter though tbh ;)

i somehow missed Lost control 2, for the first time i discovered a good quake movie here \o/

Lol... Well the idea is nice. The problem is that you can't see a shit on the screen. Plus sound effects are covering music so hard, you can badly hear it, and music is made quite well. I mean that idea with a lot of tracks, it's nice. Also sad to see only first person view in the main part. So for me it's kinda weird, that Lost control 2 got better score then Megatech body id 501

what's so good about it?

average frags + "camera pointed at tv" look + ridiculous amounts of blur

the effects are so overdone that it's hard to tell wtf is going on in some of the scenes (and lack of brightskins certainly doesnt help)

oh well, when i wrote that comment i was totally baked, so that might have something to do with it :D

nah, but i still think its a good movie, because its different. im not a fan of overdone editing but i general but if it fits the movie its fine (how do you feel about fff?) imho. im usually one of the first to whine about missing enemy models in movies but here it suit the movie because has this community (instead of pro) focus and it matches the editing. same goes for the sound.
the length of the movie is also a big factor for me, 6min is about perfect imho, those 14min fragmovies wih 2min intro + 2min outro arent my taste.
frags arent all jaw droppers but they are diverse and entertaining nevertheless.

miss some "pickupopathe" movie

still waiting on gq3

gq3 is shit

im considering nuking this

gq doesnt compare to jq man

awesome Q3 movie

SOMEONE MAKE A GODDAMN CYPHER MOVIE, THAT GUY IS NOT HUMAN

AGREED.

That q3 movie could be hardly called 'a movie' though.

If GQ3 is what unveiled quake 3, then DDE is what unveiled quake world. Much <3 for both.

also: Lost Control 2, impressive frags, real original choice of music, one of the best editing i've seen.

Alsoalso: just noticed the date of DDE2, mindblown.

LC2 lost me with the music but everything else was great. Hope he makes a community movie one day.

(...) I enjoyed it more than I expected. It's very stylised and the intro sets a theme in place well which gives the movie a cool feeling. The soundtrack for both the intro and the frag action is very good and suits the video footage in each well.
The frags in the movie are good (...) there are plenty which can be appreciated as good even without having played the game. A cool movie which creates a nice feeling and executes it well with frags and music which synch together with the editing. A complete package and a fun little watch.

clearly a 6/10. lol.


and for the love of god, why do there always have to be at least 2 crappy CS movies nobody cares about?

If you think 6/10 is a bad rating you're pretty stupid.

The vast majority of the audience for the piece:
i) doesn't come from ESReality
ii) cares only about Counter-Strike 1.6
iii) wants to see movies featuring big name/high profile players regardless of how good I think they are

If you think 6/10 is a bad rating you're pretty stupid.

This movie was underwhelming for me. Given the stars of the movie I was hoping for something spectacular but instead I ended with something above average but not significantly enjoyable. There are good kills but there are also many which don't give me any kind of noteworthy feeling. I'm referring to those 3 or 4 kill rounds which look ok but aren't necessarily exciting or impressive. It also hurts matters that some of the good Delpan rounds fell victim to quick cuts which pretty much cripple those sequences. There were also quite a few eco round scenes.

The editing in general left me a little cold, in particular the added moments such as the eeg readout and the bodyparts all just seemed rather awkwardly jammed in between sequences of kills. Those moments were so pointless and jarring that they took away from the energy of the movie. The soundtrack was crap, the first song in particular had sections which bordered upon being unlistenable.

With all of that said it's not that I dislike this movie or even was annoyed by it. The sped up cuts did irritate me for a moment or two, in that I couldn't properly enjoy those scenes, but this movie more felt like one which could have been a bit better but for some mistakes and bad decisions on the moviemakers part. Definitely worth watching if you like both of these players, both have a number of good sequences and Delpan specifically has quite a lot of the good frags. Above average and bordering on being good but ultimately pulled down a bit by its flaws.

Thorin Rating: 6.5/10

see what I mean?

It's ridiculous how you praise a 6/10 movie and then bash another movie for at least half a dozen reasons -- but give it a 6.5/10.

Also: learn to handle criticism without starting to insult people.

he's from the UK, that's like asking a u.s. citizen to never eat mcdonalds

impossible

see what I mean?

Not at all. A good steak badly cooked and prepared warrants criticism where an above average hamburger doesn't. Rocket science I know, can see why that subtlety constantly evades you.

"DUUUUUHH DIS WUN HAS A HIGHA NUMBA BUT YOU SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT IT SO DUHHHH YOU MUST BE WRONG AND IT IS WORSE THAN THE WUN WITH DA LOWA NUMBA DUHHHHHH."

ok i think someones mad

SECOND PART


giving a crappy movie with a lame metalcore soundtrack which lacks any type of creativity or movie maker craft a 6.5 != subtle reviewing


besides, you called the cs movie "above average", not the warsow one. If anything, the latter is the steak and the former is the burger. Your metaphors are even worse than your ratings.

Who won the war?..

nobody did, it's war after all

such a shame... that cypher movie with SUCH content... was made like... like... eh...
