Voltes V: Legacy - The Cinematic Experience

Supporting this kind of heavy CGI series is indeed a step for the Philippines to further have this kind of content to motivate and encourage other creators and media companies to invest and produce CGI shows while showing good story plots and so on and so forth. Hoping other stations follow this step in improving the quality of CGI used in their shows. The Cinematic Experience is indeed a candy to our eyes and ears, couldn't wait for May 8, 2023, to continue following the series. Don't get influenced by those negative comments about The Cinematic Experience and the series itself as they were just hating it for being better, that they build the demolition job. So, go to the nearest SM cinemas and watch it with your family as surely every generation could relate to and find happiness while watching it. And let's watch it premier on May 8 on GMA Telebabad thru GMA 7 Channels, GMA app, Youtube, and other not yet announced sites.

Believe me when I say that this experience leveled-up Philippines' cinematic quality. It is by par the best in the terms of the visuals!

Visual: they did best in solidifying the graphics for Voltes robot and the beast fighters. The details!

Audio: its loud! Its thrilling! Its serves its purpose in you getting the vibes of the scenes!

The casts esp the 5 main characters acting are good!

Radson Flores however is such a revelation! Impactful!

My Nays:

• cringes in some scenes
• some man to man fight scenes seem too choreo
• John Lucas' acting is akward

Overall: Its worth of your peso! This shows Filipino can do it given the budget and the trust.

Ow, btw, the theme song! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Here are my honest review:

Yehey: 1. Polished CGI is evidently showcased 2. Anime to Live Action Sequence is done without suffering the story plot 3. Anime to Live Action Characters are true to it's original form

Nay: 1. Acting quality of some actors and extra are kinda lousy and cringy 2. Normal sound effects for Episode 2 such as walking in the rocks, glass hitting sound and the likes are absent.

Overall Review:

The first ever live-action anime adaptation created by Filipinos and that is true to it's anime counterpart.

Overwhelmingly Impressive! Keep Surprising Us GMA!

Good for All Ages!

All I can say is, I was right in my initial assessment and prediction after watching the much-hyped mega-trailer (hence why I didn't watch it in the theater).

There are three segments in Live-action movies with VFX: the live action sequences, the CGI/VFX, and the combination scenes. The CGI didn't save it.

The sets and cockpits look terrible, like plastic, and the costumes look like cheap cosplay. The pure CGI sequences are okay (looks very much animated), but the CGI transitions, color grading and blends (still) look amateurish that in some sequences, you can clearly see just how bad the masking is. Dare I say it's only a few notches above Resiklo (later renamed and re-released as Transmutators), also directed by Mark Reyes.

And of course, the script and acting are all bad. GMA should have stuck with an improved all-English script, made it fully animated, hired better voice actors, and just released it as a movie trilogy.

I do feel nostalgic, having grown up with the series, the original anime was of course, not that great to begin with (it was the 70s after all), this is a leap in Filipino film-making especially the CGI, but, it is over-hyped. Sure, there is room for improvement. Lots of it.

Of course, there are people who laud it, but, they're not really being objective if they say this is well done.

Superb movie. Good job to those casts, directors, writers, animators, crew and other persons behind the camera. It is indeed the best cinematoc experience. Every person inside the camera appreciates the film. The cinematic effects are out of this word. I can't believe that a film like this was created by Filipinos. It is way better than the other series/movies been created in Philippines. The 2-3 years waiting has been paid. Everything seems perfect. I hope that that this film/series will be shown worldwide because it deserves to be recognized not just here in the Philippine but for the whole world.
