Sonic

This film was something refreshing a fan film that's not like Alvin and Chipmunks seriously I was hoping for something like this and I quite liked it but it wasn't the best that could have been I feel like if it had a little bit more money put into it it could have been great I give it an 8 out of ten.

This was a complete disaster of a short. The acting was mediocre at best and truly atrocious at worst. The special effects were alright, pretty good when it came to the robots but really bad when it came to movement (like sonic running around) and the explosions were pretty bad too. I understand that it's a independent production company but still. I actually did like where the story was going at first and wanted a little more back story on robotnik, then sonic showed up and everything went downhill from there. Sonic really doesn't belong in a human setting. I thought the actor playing robotnik had a decent performance compared to all of the others in this film. and I genuinely liked the music they used. Overall, it was a pretty bad movie.

The whole time it felt like I was watching a real movie, I wish it was longer but I indeed enjoyed it. even if the cgi is off remember it's not DreamWorks paramount, or any other billion dollar company so take it with a grain of salt. I love the cast and to see Jaleel White redo his Sonic voice was amazing. Robotnik felt genuinely evil but not on satam levels but it was still good. the only thing I would give this is make it a bit longer or make a second one this was very well made

making a sonic movie with no backing from a major studio backing must have been a logistical nightmare and yes there are better fan films (batman city of scars the first to come to mind) but i still think this film is worth you're time

the film mixes plot lines from sonic sat-am and the sonic adventure games and while most video game movies do this to their disadvantage this movie feels a lot more natural and it immerses you in it's world pretty well

Jaleel white does a pretty good job reprising his role of sonic and his acting is still on par with the video game voices

the cast are pretty decent even though they don't get much time to appear and i wouldn't be upset with a sequel to see these guys in further detail and the cameos of James Rolfe ,doug walker and other internet celebrities while random did feel apt and wen't too forced

most of the negative comments centre around the c.g.i which does leave a lot to be desired especially in the last act but i liked the c.g.i on the e-102 gammas and egg carriers and sonic is pretty good and lets face it c.g.i in Hollywood looks rubbish these days anyway and with the resources put to them makes an at least decent looking sonic

sonic is one of my favourite games but even i can admit his games have fallen on hard times but i wouldn't include this film in the mix. most video game movies are made by out of touch film makers that have little to no knowledge of the source material this film does the complete opposite and delivers a movie that further makes me want to see more fan films including sequels to this and while the effects could be improved it delivers a solid experience

People say this short is terrible, but in my opinion it's really not that bad. I will agree that the animation is outdated, but this movie turned 11 years ago yesterday. I actually really liked Sonic's design, Doctor robotnik was good, and it looked like a good amount of effort was put in it and obviously wasn't made to be extremely good or anything but is still worth the watch (only around 20 minutes). What holds it back from a slightly higher rating is that the short starts out somewhat boring and doesn't get at least decent until Sonic kills Gamma (saving the police officer guy) and the voice acting isn't great but still sort of good. However like I said, you should still check it out on YouTube.
