Sync

A great movie for a low budget. It doesn't follow the traditional paths that most Sci-Fi movies or action movies follow. Romance isn't the center of the movie, which in my book is a bonus. Recommended for anyone looking for an hour and a half to kill, because this is probably the best low budget film I have yet to come across.

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. :)

Rarely has such a good film been made with such a small budget. Don't panic during the first 15 minutes where it seems like this is going to be just another mindless action "avenging secret agent" with a sci-fi twist movie. Over the next 90 minutes, the plot and characters rapidly evolve into something much more.

What makes this evolution and its intriguing ending work is a combination of excellent writing, very good actors and a skillful director -- all working with an obviously dedicated crew. No one is just phoning it in here.

The light sprinkling of special effects also works well within the context of the story. But don't get the idea that this movie is all cerebral... the concepts that come along are exciting -- and it's got plenty of action and moves right along without going over the top into the usual silly excesses.

I haven't enjoyed an independent film so much in a long time.

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!
