I really liked it. And they have a BNL theme! No spoilers. (reply)

I didn't think I'd stay up and watch this movie. I figured I'd do the 10 minutes, then go to bed, but I was hooked. This was a nice, funny movie. A lot of the comedy is slapstick, but it's mostly the same quality writing as the good stuff from RvB. Every single character is likable, the plot is genuinely stupid, and it's tons of fun and creative. Classic Rooster Teeth.

I loved seeing the Rooster Teeth cameos and references, and I liked watching the credits and finding the familiar names from the DVDs (or indeed the Bungie fan community). I spotted a guy who paid $300 to have his name in the credits and inputted his name as Mark Nutt, an inside joke for fans of Achievement Hunter. What a weirdo.

Anyway, I really thought the movie was good, and I'm looking forward to the DVD having like a dozen commentary tracks so I can watch it a dozen times.

I might have just really liked it because I felt like it was a movie made for me, by the RvB guys, and included crap I liked and people I knew. For example, the orchestral soundtrack was done by Video Game Orchestra, and composed by Jeff Williams (with some neat exceptions from Nico and Ed Robertson). Ed shows up as a newsreader, too. It really feels like I'm watching a movie made by my friends after getting a Hollywood budget. Very personal. Somehow both small and big.

I think, if people don't like Red Vs. Blue or RWBY or Rooster Teeth Shorts, then they won't like this movie. But, I mean...It's a Rooster Teeth movie. If you liked any of their stuff at any point (even if that point was just episodes 10-34 of RvB), you will like this movie. I don't know if it will feel as personal as it does to fans of theirs through thick and thin, but the movie holds up on its own, I believe.

I'm going to see it friday in Burbank. (reply)

For those of you Red Vs. Blue fans, Lazer Team, the Rooster Teeth movie, has been released to backers today.

I paid for an autographed DVD like a billion years ago on Indiegogo, and now I can finally see the movie that I paid for! Backers got an email with a link to a stream.

For non-backers, it has an extremely limited theatrical release, and you can go to lazerteamthemovie.com to find out if there's a show near you. Most are today, January 27th, at 7PM local time. Some are tomorrow, some are February 4th.

EDIT: I just watched about 10 minutes of it. It's pretty funny! The acting is kind of wonky, but I mean, you don't watch Rooster Teeth videos for the acting.
