Penilaian dan ulasan

Here is an excellent, multi-award winning animated feature film essentially created by one individual, minus the huge budgets and studio backing that is what generally comes with such an ambitious project. What we have here is great storytelling mixed in with awesome animation and action sequences and great vocal performances by some wonderful indie actors, such as Robert Nolan, Katie Uhlmann, Daniel Wooster and Astrida Auza. If you're a fan of sci-fi animated films, this one is right up your alley and worth watching.

One person wrote, animated, and composed the score to Archon Defender, but there's no need to judge it solely in this context. Technically, it holds up against digitally animated films with hundreds of named in the credits. As a feature length independent animated film, it stands alone. The pathos in the story is offset by spectacularly choreographed action scenes, all taking place in a fully realized, seductive future/alternate/dystopian world. Fans of anime and science fiction/fantasy will love this work of a truly rare imagination.

Here's something totally different. Incredible animated film that has a style all to itself. There's a follow up film called Origin: A Call to Minds done in the same technique. Fantastic work by its creator.
