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

Has potential but poorly executed

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.

A Good Story, if a Little Clunky

There's a remarkably deep and personal story at the heart of this piece, telling of the disillusionment of independent creators in the face of increasingly strict and unfair online regulation, the changing landscape of Youtube as a community and a group of friends banding together in the face of it. With that said, that message is ultimately bogged down in an overly self-indulgent slog through dragged out wasteland scenes between oases of tradionally clever satire, all of which would have benefited from someone less personally invested in the story in the editing room.

Far too long and egocentric

I used to be a huge Doug Walker fan back in the day, and this is mainly a review on the movie and not to reflect on my current feelings about Channel Awesome. That being said, this movie/miniseries having a total runtime of 3 and a half hour compared to the previous anniversary movies is far too long. Furthermore, it seems that Doug's character, the Nostalgia Critic, is the only one who really matters in the long run, even though the other CA producers are just as talented as Doug is. So compared to the other anniversary movies, this was a bomb.

Worse than anything reviewed by these guys.

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

Trivia
This film became the subject of much controversy during March/April 2018 when it was revealed that many of the cast members and producers for Channel Awesome were treated poorly by management and were unpaid for their work in this production, and the previous two Channel Awesome anniversary specials. This film was highlighted as a major factor during the #changethechannel Twitter and YouTube movement, where many of the producers/actors aired their grievances with Channel Awesome's management, six years after the film's release. These grievances were also leveled at Doug Walker. Many actors swore off working with Walker ever again after this production. As of April 2018, Brad Jones and Larry Bundy Jr. are the only producers aside from the Walkers still working with Channel Awesome. Ironically, Bundy said that "no one ever actually believed I was ever on TGWTG. I never was included in fan art, I was never asked to be in a crossover, I was never asked to be in any anniversary movies."
