ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/media/StarWars-Revelations/revelations_film_large.wmvDon't bother if you don't have high speed. 260MB movie. It's about the Seers that are discussed in KOTOR, and it's pretty good. The production value is extraordinarily high, although the costumes are less than imaginitive. There are all authentic outfits and weapons, and a good plot. The only bad thing I see is that the main female character's actress is less than good...well, pretty bad in fact. It's just pretty much emotionless and like she's reciting lines she just read yesterday, and doesn't even like Star Wars. The chase scenes are great, the CGI is AWESOME for what it is, and the location shots are well done and just right. All in all, if the acting was better, I'd make it an 8 of 10 (better than Xformers, based on plot and tempo) but with the chick that is just a little subpar I make this a 7/10. 45 minutes, unrated (but I'd make it PG for violence).

I watched the trailer; looks great! The CG is very good; though you never can really tell off internet videos. The acting didn't look so good; but definitely serviceable, especially for a fan film.
So is there any other negative content in it besides violence?

Ataru-It's got nothing but violence, and that is non-graphic. I've seen the whole thing twice now and it's really good. The CGI is great, but like I said, the main actress should've called in sick.
I could DEFINATELY go for some Carrie Fisher or Nat Portman. Yummy.

XD. That is funny.
But the CGI is pretty good. But in the senate scene some of the alien costumes look worse than stuff I've seen from the costume shop.
But all in all I would give it a 7 out of 10...

ROFL Yeah, pretty pathetic. That one bad scene (along with the william-shatnerlike pauses in the dialogue 'for effect') really could've made me just close the window, but I had to see it all the way through.
This movie does prove one thing - the seers in the SW expanded universe aren't that good. If they were, they'd have gotten a new main actress.

With stuff like this I just start downloading it at 7:00 or so (which it is right now over here) and leave it running all night. Hopefully the whole thing will upload... is there a smaller version? |

If some one ziped the file it may help you with the downloading, becuase if something is ziped, then it gets compressed, which makes it smaller, but how small, I do not know...

Not sure how small either... but I know that videos can be compressed to remarkable sizes with the right tools and still look very good. Unfortunately the download got interrupted (and I don't even know why) and we got about the first five seconds and then 45 minutes of nothing. I think I'll just clean out my temporary and hidden internet files a few times, delete the attemped .wmv file, and try again... |

FYI - Mpeg4, AVI, and other video formats are already compressed, and it'll be a huge waste of time zipping it more likely than not.
I can download it and burn it to CD if someone really wants it, but you'd need to pay postage.

Yes, Zipping or stuffing optimized movies usually takes some time and yield minuscule if any decrease in size. This movie had quite a lot of time and effort in the effects and stuff. I didn't really connect with the people though.
