To Boldly Flee

Well, this is the longest narrative film on the entire Internet (not including movies) that I've ever seen and it worked a lot better when I saw it in eight separate parts. This was the fourth anniversary of Channel Awesome (third and last feature film altogether) and it features the cast going into space to find out what happened to Ma-Ti and dealing with the literal plot hole he got into. When I rewatched this movie all at once, it was indeed too long. What everyone remembers is how poorly the cast was treated in this film, but it wasn't until six years later that everyone confessed that they went through Hell working on it and all left the website. The worst part was how Justin Carmichael (Jew Wario) was accused of sexual assault and some people working on it covered up evidence. I don't know if Doug Walker personally covered up the abuse, but no doubt people were mad at him.

I actually think this has the most funny moments of any movie ever on TVTropes and it was great to see them be added. On YouTube however, this became one of the most disliked projects Channel Awesome ever made. Luckily, we all agreed it was at least better than the Critic's review of "The Wall". Make whatever joke you want, with how the elephant in the room should have appeared. If this counts as a movie, it's the longest one the Nostalgia Critic reviewed. I would recommend seeing this in separate parts, not all at once.

It's still nice to see all these talented people together in one place, even if none of them enjoyed it. Guru Larry wasn't in this, so that might be why he chose to remain on Channel Awesome. Well, that and spite. The characters do get to play roles and they know to play off of each other, even if the chemistry could be better. I'd recommend seeing all the Critic's commercial specials together at once over this. They knew this could never be surpassed and they sure as Hell didn't want it to. **1/2

I used to be a huge Doug Walker fan back in the day, and this is mainly a review on the movie and not to reflect on my current feelings about Channel Awesome. That being said, this movie/miniseries having a total runtime of 3 and a half hour compared to the previous anniversary movies is far too long. Furthermore, it seems that Doug's character, the Nostalgia Critic, is the only one who really matters in the long run, even though the other CA producers are just as talented as Doug is. So compared to the other anniversary movies, this was a bomb.

2/10

Let start from the beginning:

Kickassia: Entertaining, yeah, but it was boring in some parts, but it still being good in terms of an Internet movie. If you don't have to do anything in the day, I recommend to you to watch this film. 7/10

Suburban Knights: This film showed us that this guys can make something better, and this was really really better. This is a good combination of drama, comedy, action, and sci-fi. But, sometimes, it still a little bit boring, but less than Kickassia. 8/10

To Boldly Flee: My god, this movie prove us that this guys can make a film at the same level as Hollywood does. The plot was outstanding, the CGI effects were great, all was a gigantic ball of remarkableness. Lets talk about the acting: well, this was not maybe the better of the film, but Doug Walker does a brilliant job, maybe the better on his career. The directing is very well done, giving us a very good drama and comedy. At the end of the film I almost cry, CRY, and that prove us that this is a piece of art that you will never forget. 10/10

I'm Ignacio Salgado and I remember it so you don't have to.

This movie got a few chuckles, but this movie is way too long and tries to juggle way to many ideas for its own good. I won't go too much into sound quality or dodgey green screen effects, because for a low budget movie they're pretty decent. The plot relies heavily on prior knowledge of the Channel Awesome Anniversaries along with multiple CA shows (or should I say former CA shows). The writing feels very self-indulgent to the Nostalgia Critic character, as if him quitting reviews (note: this was supposed to be the last appearance of the Nostalgia Critic character) would be the end of internet reviews. If To Boldly Flee had picked one main plot and then maybe given over a little space for one or two of the subplots like Suburban Knights, it might have been passable as a mediocre Youtube flick, but as is everything is competing for space. The love triangle in particularly poorly handled. Say it with me now, nobody owes you date.

Say what you want about "The Room", at least that movie didn't last 4 hours.
