Newbie

Reviewed by Ben Lee

This review contains no spoilers.

Oh dear. Not a bad idea, but ohh dear. I hate to say this, but this wasn't good. At all. My main problem with this is despite an interesting plot, the really short runtime leaves the story no time at all to develop. OK, let's get into what was actually pretty good. The general idea of a story was decent enough. It's about a 'newbie' who walks into the 3DMM community, only to be laughed at and smacked around with. The latter is a tiny bit too extreme, but hey, we can all vaguely associate with this.

And then the horrible amount of bad points creep in. I really don't want to go on explaining every single bit, but I'll cut Bown some slack. After all, he is an amateur at using 3DMM, and animations and the scenery should not count against him so much. He really does have the potential to direct a decent movie and he should be encouraged to do so. But I can't just help shaking my head at the incredibly tiny amount of time. It could have been so much better, you know? We could have had a lengthy in-depth drama, but instead, we get a short, rather lazy piece of work. And one more thing, the ending was too extreme and over-the-top.

Score: 39/100
