    <reviewbody>I found this mature, well thought out, boldly colorful take on World of Warcraft to be quite a thrilling ride.  &#13;
I've seen quite a lot of Machinima in my time and this film has appealed to me not because it's based in a video game world, but because the film makers seem to have a taken a chance that lifts the film out of video games, out of the hack and slash, out of the over drama of movies in this genre.&#13;
A huge step foward for the medium and a must download for any collector.</reviewbody>
    <reviewtitle>Darkly riveting.  Absolutely Mature Machinima</reviewtitle>

    <reviewbody>I'm not sure how it's done.  Not sure I want to know...  I've never seen anything like before and I'm ready for the rest of the story.&#13;
&#13;
My favorite part by far is the hall of shadows.  It was foggy and mysterious.  The battle between the druid and the priest there was really dramatic.  Right up to where their wisps collided with each other.&#13;
&#13;
Freakin' epic.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>The set pieces were remarkably detailed and surreal.  I love the criminal imprisoned in the floating forest.  Custom spell effects and particle effects were first rate.&#13;
&#13;
Voice acting is award worthy.&#13;
&#13;
Great all around movie.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>This is the greatest piece of Art/machinima I have ever seen.  It flows like a river through the dramatic tones and explodes with phenomenal action-infused ending. The soundtrack guides through the emotional confrontation of lovers, husbands, and the farewell to children.&#13;
&#13;
If you love machinima, animation, or film, this is a must see.&#13;
&#13;
I can not believe it was a labor of love and not a paid promotional work.</reviewbody>
    <reviewtitle>Best machinima work ever</reviewtitle>

    <reviewbody>Nice animation and great use of color.  Very exciting and artful.  That must have taken awhile to produce.</reviewbody>
    <reviewtitle>Oh the colors!</reviewtitle>

    <reviewbody>I voted in the mprem.com machinima festival for this film.  The camera angles were great (which won me over), but honestly, no Orc would be incarcerated on some Night Elf island without kicking it's due ares.</reviewbody>
    <reviewtitle>Great Film</reviewtitle>

    <reviewbody>It's nice to watch a smart WoW movie.  We need more of these professional approaches to the mmo.  But... was that Tiberious at the end viewing the not from the Priestess?  It looked like him, so maybe he was friend during the prison break.  I dunno.</reviewbody>
    <reviewtitle>VERY GOOD</reviewtitle>
