Loric's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

["Jesus Christ" promo]

Nice.

Pixelated graphics? Ok, that's fair enough. Any movie below 5Mb will be pixelated, but couldn't you just make the video smaller in resolution? Wouldn't that give it better clarity, keeping the quality of the picture an adequate one? Some of the words on the cross were just unreadable, and that's a shame, because I really tried to read them and, perhaps, understand the message (if there is one). I'd like to see the full quality/size video, as I like artistic clips. Please, do provide a link to it, if you have one.
Sound is not very clear. I think it could have been done better, as well. The choice of the song is a good one. At least I liked it.
It's a nice movie over all, it just has flaws, probably due to the file size limitations.

As we are on the subject of religion, I have a question to ask which I am wondering about for a long time: If God is so damn almighty, why doesn't he get rid of Lucifer (The Devil) at the snap of the finger?

Here is another thing I thought about: If you sin, God will send you to Hades; you, then, will experience pain and anguish in a "comfort" of blazing fires for eternity till your soul goes insane...but he loves you.
In effect, that is what the Bible says.

Also, did you know that Lucifer comes from Latin and it, basically, means: Light Bringer, or Bringing light.

Want another one? Ok, here is one more: If The Devil punishes all those people who are Bad (The Sinners), doesn't that make him Good?

All these kind of contradictions and lies within the Holy Bible made me disbelieve this whole fear driven masquerade. Yes, I am an Atheist.

I still liked the movie, though. Please do post the higher quality one somewhere.

Stroberider responds:

I’m glad you are one of the few viewers who actually understood and accepted the fact that any video that is somehow implemented into Flash is going to have a very large file size with low quality. And because NG won’t except anything over 5 MB, the compression is mandatory to make it a smaller file size, while making the true eminence of the animation to diminish greatly. Thank you so much for giving credit on that and not trying to take credit away from that profoundly over-looked fact. And to answer the question about making the resolution smaller, if I made it any smaller, that would defeat the whole purpose because the text would be so unreadable. The text is what made this piece so strong in concept. The only “message” that was in the cross was just the different titles and names of J.C.

Well, unfortunately, I do not have this piece linked to any other site or alternate source, but this guy who goes by the name “ForeverJason” e-mailed me wanting to know if I’d let him post some of my motion graphics animations on 4 different sites…www.theflasharchive.com, www.theflashgames.com, www.youfunny.com and www.2flashgames.com. Of course, he said that he would give me proper credit. So, when I respond back to him to see if he is reasonable about this, then I might post this one on either of those sites.

That makes me happy to know that there are still people who enjoy artistic animations. As far as the sound is concerned, it definitely isn’t as clear as the original version, which included a fully clear audio mp3 file. But, I ran into problems not only with file size, but the music would lose sync with the animation, making it look and sound delayed in timing.

I'll e-mail you what I know about the Christian religion since this isn't really the place to discuss it, nor is there enough bandwidth on Newgrounds for character space to type all of what I need to say. Please do not hesitate to e-mail me if you have any other questions about this topic. God bless!
