I defy anyone online to make ANY sense of the following:

That's probably what they were going for. And yes, the cutting is crap; moreover, the ship destructions are often a tad off.salm wrote:Even if this is just a show off for nice effects it has some problems.
I think the main problem is the soundtrack. It´s cut together really badly. The differnet themes stop abruptly and another one starts, sometimes there are sound effects, sometimes not.
I'd guess it's mainly a 3-d rendering exercise for someone who is learning-by-doing. That, or a tool who just likes seeing things blown up.
And LMAO at the Shadow/Vorlon alliance, incidentally.

I'm assuming that someone just cut together scenes from half a dozen Spacebattles films. The music, animation style and quality, and "plot" (alliances, what has and has not been destroyed) shift from scene to scene.
I did like the whole Vorlon/Shadow/IA/Dominion vs. Klingon/Vorlon scheme, though.

Really need to work on the physics. Ships don't stop dead when they're shot; they blow up and continue to travel their last vector.
And couldn't they at least match the theme music to their appropriate univeses? ST:DS9 theme for B5 Earth ships.
Also, WTFing at Nebulon B using a B5 gate.

Wow, a horribly edited mishmash of old lame amateur CGI videos. Spectacular.

Me too. The video is a plotless mess, nothing but an excuse to show off animated space battles. That itself wouldn't have been as huge a problem if the video didn't trick you into thinking there was some semblance of a setting and plot, with subtitles like "Aramar, Rebel Alliance Headquarters" and "Rebel Planetary Defence Control Center."Kuja wrote:That "Rebel fleet VS Imperial Fleet CUT TO Nebulon-B attacking DS9" moment had to be the biggest WTF of the entire movie for me.

I've noticed. I still want Es Arkajae to come here and formally debate me on why gays should be awarded equal rights to straights instead of simply killed outright.

No, it was there at around the 5:00 mark. You know, the part where a bunch of random ships were attacking a bunch of random ships with a random musical score for no apparent reason.Phantasee wrote:And for a movie titled Battle of Earth, I still haven't seen our little blue ball.
Perhaps it's a nuanced commentary on the meaninglessness of war?
