RPG Metanoia

good morning minna-san! (^_^)

yesterday was the start of the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).

this is an annual film festival of Filipino films starting every 25 of december until a certain date in january (i forgot when)

m(_ _)m gomen~

anyways, we watched the movie RPG Metanoia. (may take time to load)

it is the first full-length 3D animation done here in the Philippines.

the story: kids who love to play RPG.

a "virus" was spreading in the online game itself and it has affected not only the avatar and the network but also the users themselves (they seem to be hypnotized to continue playing the game).

the boys put it upon themselves to save the users of the games.

in the end, they became the saviors of the online gaming world.

in terms of graphics, it was very good.

considering that this was the very first movie and the fact it took approximately 5 years to finish, i think the graphics and movements of the characters were clear.

though it still needs more work, i was impressed by graphics of the "game scenes"

the story was fairly built up.

it was easy to follow how the events were progressing and there was a good build up of how the conflict escalated.

unfortunately, i feel torn about the resolution of the story was good or not.

it was simple, maybe to balance the too much action of the whole movie.

but maybe it was just too simple.

i am not sure.

the scenes are very much familiar if not common to most if not all the young generations of the philippines.

i liked the part wherein they incorporated filipino values and filipino folklore in the avatars and the whole story itself.

in general, i really enjoyed watching it. (^_^)
