WoW Moviewatch: SI:7 Episode 1Before you read on, please note that there are spoilers in this review.
Tipster Thomas hooked me up to
SI:7 Episode 1, the first installment in a story-based series by Kakashisan. The basic plot is a pretty good idea. After the
Wrathgate debacle, a group of Forsaken rebels must plan another method for removing Horde influence over Undercity. Meanwhile, SI:7 has learned of danger to the Alliance. Matthias Shaw turns to a prisoner in the Stormwind Stockades for help.
I think the animation was fine for the story it's supporting. The zooming scenery shots were strong, and the script moved along okay. I think where
SI:7 Episode 1 struggled was scripting and voice acting. This is a fairly common problem with first-time-out story shows, because the author and actors are all working on "finding their mark." The script had a little more exposition than was strictly necessary, and it sounds like the voice actors are still growing into performing their roles naturally and smoothly. I don't want to be too critical, though, because I think they can get to a great place. I was impressed by the effort and novelty of
SI:7 Episode I, and I look forward to seeing how it will grow.
