Reviews

Marc Harris In summary, this show was—somewhat enjoyable. What I usually say when discussing this title is that it is great for kids, but not really entertaining for mature audiences. Below I will go into a few details of some of the strengths and weaknesses of this show. As an adult reviewer, I watched it many years ago, and also once about a year ago, and thought that this series finally deserved a review. Many, including myself, have fair criticisms against it, but I would be falling short of a fair review if I did not point out its strengths as well.1. The LoreFirst of all, I LOVE the lore. The juicy context of this story provides an excellent platform for the show. One of the ways that a show can suffer is riding too much on the lore and calling back to it excessively. Besides a title sequence that briefly explains the context, the lore and backstory is not overly referred-to. I give the lore a 9/10.2. The WritingThe writing in this show was unfortunately sub-par. The plot had a good essence to it that reminded me of concepts in Star Wars, similar in a "Good v/s Evil" theme, and pursuit/chase elements. The episodic nature reminds me of Star Trek, often with individual scenarios in each episode, but with an overarching plot that is resolved over the course of the series. It's weakest point is that the show is, as to be expected on a kids' show, childish. But, as it was broadcast on NickToons, a channel which, in my experiences, had darker themes on some of its shows, I found it to be almost TOO childish. My single largest frustration with this show is that it had potential to become a very good show with several seasons if it were catered to more mature audiences. That potential, in my opinion, felt wasted. I give the writing 6/10.3. The ScriptAlthough the script is typically incorporated into the writing of a show, I felt that the script was on a distinctly different level from the rest of the writing, and thus, I provide it with its own section. The script had a few areas where it shone out, but once again, the childishness factor of the show really kicked the strength and flavor out of the show. Even while I was young when I watched this show eleven years ago, I thought the script was catered for those younger than me, despite the feeling that I've gotten that the story otherwise would be fit for a broader audience base. The script, I give a 4/10.4. The CharactersIn all fairness, I like to see characters join the heroes, and then stay alongside them to continue fighting. To see characters come and go is normal. But in all honesty, when many supporting characters are CRUCIAL for an episode, but then move on in a touch-and-go kind of style for the whole series, it really puts a damper on how enjoyable new characters will be. The characters themselves are not badly written, but not well-written either. To the characters, I give a 6/10.5. The AnimationYet another weakness in this show was the animation, specifically speaking of characters. Aircraft and other vehicles are presented VERY well. Some objects are so large, and perspectives at which they are presented really contribute to the lore by portraying the new world as truly vast, and to that, I commend the creators. However, the characters were created entirely with CGI, and their designs are over-simplistic, mouth movement does not match up well with the script, and there is virtually no noteworthy detail to praise. If you wanted some good battle scenes, then you will get them. To the animation, I give a 6/10.6. The Sound Engineering/Sound DesignThe sound effects in this series are very nice. Nothing much to talk about here. I was very happy with how the sound effects, well, sound, but I think that they could have been mixed a little bit better, as some scenes do sound like the audio balance is a tad off, and the character's lines seem disregard acoustic features. I give the sound engineering and sound design an 8/10.7. The SoundtrackLOVED the soundtrack! Can't get enough, honestly. Wish there were more to listen to, though. The orchestral sways and pulls really fit the scenes like a glove. I give the soundtrack a 9/10.
indodragon what the title says. This one is still on the list of best series i ever watched. it should have been equivalent in size to "the avatar: the last airbender". if avatar never had aired, i think this series would have conquered earth instead. it's a classic series which never rose, but still one of the best of its kind. it has a 3d feeling, a 3d atmosphere. and what i like most of this series, is that is has all that and still have a 2d touch to it. i recommend just to try and watch it. you'll probably get the same feeling as i did in one or two episodes. the only thing that annoys me a bit, is the movement of some of the characters. because in some parts i find them move a bit clumsy.
did_u_know_pigs_oink This show is so bad. my god. all the voices are overdone too dramatically to make sense. no one would say things the way they do. but the animations part is excellent, and you can see minute details in the facial expressions, which is cool. but still. no one talks the way they do in this show. it really bothered me, everything was said too dramatically for what was going on. apparently this show got such bad ratings when it was first put out here that they took it off after one episode. and this show was put on after the series of wolverine and the x-men cartoon had finished, and it was such a disappointment. however, the plot does seem OK at this point in time, but how would i know? I've only seen one episode.
atomius Alright, four of those eight stars were for animation, you got me. However, lets examine the show more closely. The plot is that the Earth in the near future (as opposed to the far future of Futurama's 3000) 'shatters' into pieces, and humans somehow survive this, creating 'blocks' of land under control of the 'Sphere' group. Sound complex? Not really. Think 3D cartoon version of Star Wars but without the copyright infringements. In fact, hearing the music and seeing the way the ships are portrayed (some even resembling SW vessels) you will definitely hark back a tad. Mila and Mahad are brother and sister, their mother captured by the supposedly evil Sphere, a ruling society apparently led by a man and his assistant, who constantly try to track down M and M, but 'keep them alive', a bit of a joke since the Sphere has plenty of power, this is like SW. However, the main reason for conflict is the Sphere's stealing of water, in fact water is the thing that started all the fighting in the first place, the rebel Pirates trying to obtain their own. As for enjoyability, it isn't a comedy, and gets all emotional at times (seriously- it's water) but all in all a good effort, and hopefully we can learn from this that good graphics equal excuses for bad plots. I must say a continuation would be like continuing SW. There's really no need, and i can't see hardcore cults springing up for this one. Perhaps in the future shows could be made with the effects of their cancellation in mind, but there's no need for this one to go on too far.
