the ultimate abuser: epic battle scenes and transformers. just once, I wish they would zoom waaaay out and let us watch an enormous battle unfold for a SOLID 30 seconds. And no more one guy mowing down hundreds of enemies. And in the transformer's case, let's have fewer pipes and metal parts for the robots so we can actually see facial features and other things that help us figure out what is going on, what body parts are involved, etc. I don't want to see a bunch of pipes crammed together and spend a few seconds "is that the eye? is that the arm? am i looking at a home depot shopping cart?"^Very nice dancer there. Too bad it's so hard to tell.

It's true that dance can be very dramatic. But that doesn't make it a drama - which most people who make movies and videos simply can't seem to grasp.

I think they trained at the MTV school of film production. More important than content is shifting the shot every couple of seconds to force the observer to refocus. Supposedly this keeps people watching even though nothing good is shown. The trick is old now. I wish they'd think up a new gimmick.
Edit: Fortunately it's not 2015 yet as I've pointed this out at least a dozen times on DC. New Years res. is to let it and similar rest.
also...if gandalf can blast hundreds of orcs away with his ball of light from his staff, why doesn't he just do it in the beginning of every major battle...or just repeatedly?





I thought the sunglasses and daylight roaming was a touch of genius in The Breed. With modern weapons and technology, we have to do something to even up the odds for the vampires. Or at the very least, give them the benefit of modern tech like they did in Underworld: Awakening. Those vampire special ops teams were spot on the sugar. 










This is just the intro. The build article and video is on the way.
