Sync

This series is a culmination of all of Sam and Niko's skills combined. They cast well, shots were perfect, audio was natural and non-jarring and the storyline was unpredictable and original.

This series follows our protagonist to mob bosses houses, geek lairs, secret government headquarters and even across the ocean to China. The story takes twists and turns that, while not too incredible, keep the audience guessing at every point. At the end of each episode it's a frantic scramble to put the next one on due to the suspense they've left you in.

Sync surely satisfies the audiences desires for an action show with great comedy bits, a touch of romance and a whole lot of fun.

Well worth checking out. Acting, story, pace and special effects are great, especially given that this is an indie movie with unknown actors and available free to watch on YouTube! I started watching this based on a recommendation from a friend and was instantly hooked. It is apparently based on a web series that was subsequently converted into a film. I never saw the series, but it works brilliantly as a single film. The makers/directors appear to do special effects for a lot of bigger films, and clearly decided to start producing some stuff themselves.

What are you waiting for?

I must say that Sync is the best web-series I have found on the Internet, trumping things like VGHS. Its writing is a perfect mix of action, thriller, and romance, and the plot is singularly unique. Add to that great actors, smart directors, and skilled VFX artists, and you get an amazing, must-see show.

There are only two problems I have with Sync. 1: The episodes come out once a month, which is rather slow compared to other series. 2: The episodes themselves are only nine minutes long or so, which is short compared to TV shows of half an hour each.

Still, I think that the pros way outweigh the cons, and Sync is a great show.

I didn't find this as the episodes were being released, so I got to watch it all in one shot as the finished movie. I also very much prefer indie productions to big commercial titles.

That said, "Sync" is incredible. With an original take on the premise and storyline, it features superb acting and amazing effects. The script perfectly balances action, humor, romance, and character development. In fact, it's the character development over the course of the movie that stands out to my mind.

A couple of people have commented on the ending. I will say only that I thought it was excellent and a fitting way to end this particular story.

Bravo to all involved!

Acting: Suburb, every lines are believable. All the stunts and the actions are amazing. All seem legit.

Plot: Complex, or at least better than most of the summer movies out there. It kind of fall straight to hell in the last episode. It shouldn't be that open-ended kind in my opinion, but a big action-packed feast.

Action: Big part here. The opening act was great, just lots of guns and blowing up stuff. The rest were so so, then it got to the end action that was great. Overall a big plus on this one.

VFX/SFX: All great. The effects were believable. The sounds are great, they were real and give you lots of bumps into your chest. The tracks are great too, got along with the scenes real good.

Overall, 10/10, considering I paid only time on this. :)
