To Boldly Flee

Say what you want about "The Room", at least that movie didn't last 4 hours.

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

A 3 hour long piece of garbage. What is wrong with him.

Well, this is the longest narrative film on the entire Internet (not including movies) that I've ever seen and it worked a lot better when I saw it in eight separate parts. This was the fourth anniversary of Channel Awesome (third and last feature film altogether) and it features the cast going into space to find out what happened to Ma-Ti and dealing with the literal plot hole he got into. When I rewatched this movie all at once, it was indeed too long. What everyone remembers is how poorly the cast was treated in this film, but it wasn't until six years later that everyone confessed that they went through Hell working on it and all left the website. The worst part was how Justin Carmichael (Jew Wario) was accused of sexual assault and some people working on it covered up evidence. I don't know if Doug Walker personally covered up the abuse, but no doubt people were mad at him.

I actually think this has the most funny moments of any movie ever on TVTropes and it was great to see them be added. On YouTube however, this became one of the most disliked projects Channel Awesome ever made. Luckily, we all agreed it was at least better than the Critic's review of "The Wall". Make whatever joke you want, with how the elephant in the room should have appeared. If this counts as a movie, it's the longest one the Nostalgia Critic reviewed. I would recommend seeing this in separate parts, not all at once.

It's still nice to see all these talented people together in one place, even if none of them enjoyed it. Guru Larry wasn't in this, so that might be why he chose to remain on Channel Awesome. Well, that and spite. The characters do get to play roles and they know to play off of each other, even if the chemistry could be better. I'd recommend seeing all the Critic's commercial specials together at once over this. They knew this could never be surpassed and they sure as Hell didn't want it to. **1/2

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.
