Voltes V: Legacy - The Cinematic Experience

10 out of 10!

This is the Best Movie/series made in the Philippines and of course by 💙GMA! From it's CGI Effects to Costumes and castings. I has made a lot of buzz not only in the Philippines but also in japan! In all Live Action movies we've seen by far only Voltes V: Legacy met our expectation. We have waited for so long to see the final outcome, and they didn't fail us. They stick to the original story and lots of fight scenes to watch out for. 😘Thanks GMA for bringing us one epic ride! I cant wait for May 8 official playdate on National TV and around the world! I hope they will enjoy watching this.

Believe me when I say that this experience leveled-up Philippines' cinematic quality. It is by par the best in the terms of the visuals!

Visual: they did best in solidifying the graphics for Voltes robot and the beast fighters. The details!

Audio: its loud! Its thrilling! Its serves its purpose in you getting the vibes of the scenes!

The casts esp the 5 main characters acting are good!

Radson Flores however is such a revelation! Impactful!

My Nays:

• cringes in some scenes
• some man to man fight scenes seem too choreo
• John Lucas' acting is akward

Overall: Its worth of your peso! This shows Filipino can do it given the budget and the trust.

Ow, btw, the theme song! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

All I can say is, I was right in my initial assessment and prediction after watching the much-hyped mega-trailer (hence why I didn't watch it in the theater).

There are three segments in Live-action movies with VFX: the live action sequences, the CGI/VFX, and the combination scenes. The CGI didn't save it.

The sets and cockpits look terrible, like plastic, and the costumes look like cheap cosplay. The pure CGI sequences are okay (looks very much animated), but the CGI transitions, color grading and blends (still) look amateurish that in some sequences, you can clearly see just how bad the masking is. Dare I say it's only a few notches above Resiklo (later renamed and re-released as Transmutators), also directed by Mark Reyes.

And of course, the script and acting are all bad. GMA should have stuck with an improved all-English script, made it fully animated, hired better voice actors, and just released it as a movie trilogy.

I do feel nostalgic, having grown up with the series, the original anime was of course, not that great to begin with (it was the 70s after all), this is a leap in Filipino film-making especially the CGI, but, it is over-hyped. Sure, there is room for improvement. Lots of it.

Of course, there are people who laud it, but, they're not really being objective if they say this is well done.

Supporting this kind of heavy CGI series is indeed a step for the Philippines to further have this kind of content to motivate and encourage other creators and media companies to invest and produce CGI shows while showing good story plots and so on and so forth. Hoping other stations follow this step in improving the quality of CGI used in their shows. The Cinematic Experience is indeed a candy to our eyes and ears, couldn't wait for May 8, 2023, to continue following the series. Don't get influenced by those negative comments about The Cinematic Experience and the series itself as they were just hating it for being better, that they build the demolition job. So, go to the nearest SM cinemas and watch it with your family as surely every generation could relate to and find happiness while watching it. And let's watch it premier on May 8 on GMA Telebabad thru GMA 7 Channels, GMA app, Youtube, and other not yet announced sites.

Voltes V Legacy: The Cinematic experience is an intelligently cut, full movie encounter. With clips taken from the initial weeks of the TV series, the story of the movie revolves around Dr Mary Ann Armstrong. However, the excitement of seeing the modern interpretation of the anime classic remains high all throughout. And the fact that it is fully Filipino-made is a great start of placing the country on the map. The cast ably portrayed their roles, from the major to all minor characters, making the viewer experience extremely satisfying. Coming from a kid born in the 80's, tears were inevitable.
