To Boldly Flee

They took something that looks and sounds so terrible far too seriously for it ever to be good in any way.

I used to be a huge Doug Walker fan back in the day, and this is mainly a review on the movie and not to reflect on my current feelings about Channel Awesome. That being said, this movie/miniseries having a total runtime of 3 and a half hour compared to the previous anniversary movies is far too long. Furthermore, it seems that Doug's character, the Nostalgia Critic, is the only one who really matters in the long run, even though the other CA producers are just as talented as Doug is. So compared to the other anniversary movies, this was a bomb.

2/10

I'm giving this "movie" one star not only for it's terrible writing, but also based on how poorly the entire cast & crew was treated during the entire process of this movie. To quote Allison Pregler, "Not a single person wasn't miserable, except Doug, who had no idea how badly it had went."

In fact, the only way to watch this movie is with Allison, Phelan, and Brad's Commentary where they make fun of the movie for 3.5 hours.

It's lazy, self-indulgent, shoddy looking, and quite honestly this makes RLM's Space Cop look like Empire Strikes Back.

P.S. Doug wrote a rape scene

This movie got a few chuckles, but this movie is way too long and tries to juggle way to many ideas for its own good. I won't go too much into sound quality or dodgey green screen effects, because for a low budget movie they're pretty decent. The plot relies heavily on prior knowledge of the Channel Awesome Anniversaries along with multiple CA shows (or should I say former CA shows). The writing feels very self-indulgent to the Nostalgia Critic character, as if him quitting reviews (note: this was supposed to be the last appearance of the Nostalgia Critic character) would be the end of internet reviews. If To Boldly Flee had picked one main plot and then maybe given over a little space for one or two of the subplots like Suburban Knights, it might have been passable as a mediocre Youtube flick, but as is everything is competing for space. The love triangle in particularly poorly handled. Say it with me now, nobody owes you date.

Let start from the beginning:

Kickassia: Entertaining, yeah, but it was boring in some parts, but it still being good in terms of an Internet movie. If you don't have to do anything in the day, I recommend to you to watch this film. 7/10

Suburban Knights: This film showed us that this guys can make something better, and this was really really better. This is a good combination of drama, comedy, action, and sci-fi. But, sometimes, it still a little bit boring, but less than Kickassia. 8/10

To Boldly Flee: My god, this movie prove us that this guys can make a film at the same level as Hollywood does. The plot was outstanding, the CGI effects were great, all was a gigantic ball of remarkableness. Lets talk about the acting: well, this was not maybe the better of the film, but Doug Walker does a brilliant job, maybe the better on his career. The directing is very well done, giving us a very good drama and comedy. At the end of the film I almost cry, CRY, and that prove us that this is a piece of art that you will never forget. 10/10
