    10/10, no doubt

    OMG, I absolutely loved Blast Burn! I'm such a huge fan of Steve Nguyen and Studio APA, and this movie totally blew my mind. The animation is so cool, like every frame looks amazing! The fight scenes are just insane - like, I've never seen anything like it before. The way everything is choreographed is crazy good, and it just feels so intense. I was literally on the edge of my seat the entire time. What really got me, though, was how emotional it was. It's not just about the action there's real heart behind it. The story pulled me in and made me care about what was happening. I honestly didn't expect to feel so much, but it really hit me in all the feels. If you're into epic action, cool visuals, and a story that makes you feel, you have to check this out. Seriously, it's a must-see for any fan of great animation. I can't stop thinking about it I've already watched it a few times! 10/10 for sure.

    If only it was longer...

    "Blast Burn" is a visually stunning and emotionally gripping short film. The animation is captivating, creating a rich atmosphere that pulls the viewer in. The storytelling is thoughtful, weaving deep themes with subtlety and artistry. The sound design and voice work enhance the experience, making every moment feel immersive. My only wish is that it was longer-there's so much potential for further exploration. It's a beautifully crafted piece that leaves a strong impression, proving that even a short runtime can deliver powerful storytelling. I'd love to see more from this creative team in the future-6/10.

    It was SO GOOD!!

    Blast Burn did NOT disappoint. Like seriously, the animation was straight up insane. The fight scenes: Absolute fire!!! Everything moved so smooth and fast, it felt like I was actually in the middle of all the action. I swear my heart was racing the whole time. But it's not just cool visuals. This movie actually made me feel something. I wasn't expecting it to hit this hard but man, it really did. The story had so much heart and emotion, I got chills. It's rare to see something that balances hype action with real deep moments so well. The way the main character grows throughout the story was just chef's kiss. I honestly can't stop thinking about it. Already rewatched a couple times and it's just as good every time. If you love action, cool af animation, and a story that actually matters, you NEED to watch this. Like seriously, don't sleep on it!!

    A Visually Stunning and Thought Provoking Short Film

    I loved the fact that the animation style is bold and atmospheric, pulling you into its world from the very first frame. What really stands out is how the film builds tension. There's a constant feeling that something big is about to happen, and when it does, it hits hard. The storytelling is tight, and despite the short runtime, it manages to leave an impact. The sci-fi elements feel fresh, and the thriller aspect keeps you engaged, making you wonder what's next. One of the strongest aspects of Blast Burn is how it balances chaos and beauty. The visuals are stunning, almost hypnotic, and paired with a gripping score, the whole experience feels immersive. It's the kind of film that makes you think even after the credits roll. That being said, I do wish it had a little more depth in certain areas, some moments could have been explored further, and the pacing, while strong, could have given a bit more breathing room to the narrative. But overall, it's a solid piece of work that showcases strong direction and creativity.
