Sync

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!

I have been a fan of the content produced by Corridor Digital for a while now. So, when I heard they were releasing a web series, I knew I had to check it out. I am SOOO glad that I did.

SYNC has easily became one of my favorite shows OF ALL TIME. It's creative, original, entertaining, pretty much everything you could possibly want from a TV show. The only difference, is that the episodes are shorter than an average TV show, and they're uploaded to YouTube.

The acting is surprisingly well for a YouTube series. Not to mention the fact that the visuals and effects are simply outstanding. I highly recommend that everyone go watch it.

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.

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.
