To be honest, I was not terribly impressed. The way the portals were utilized were pretty lame and the portal effects looked like some cheap SyFy crap.

I'm not big into sci-fi movies, but I was generally impressed with it. It was definitely better than most of the youtube crap involving portal, and I kind of thought it was neat. I do wish that they'd done more with it though. :(

I didn't like the general atmosphere at all :/ When the portal gun finally did come into play, it looked out of place in it's dismal surroundings. You expect her to pull out a shiv made of stone, not high tech machinery.

One of the things I really love about portal, is the "believable" atmosphere. Sure, it's a ridiculously large bunker hidden underground, but if I was to imagine a place they would be testing insane equipment and temperamental technology, I would picture what they had in the game.

Large clean areas that any type of test could take place in. Clean and sterilized to protect the fragile and experimental equipment. Not a dirty cell with some silent G.I. Jane wannabe.

Also, why are there other people there? And militant captors at that? Aperture science is about SCIENCE for goodness sake! They may be completely mad in their quest of "doing what they must because they can," but they're not thugs who throw some lady in a dirty cell.

IMO, the only thing that video had in common with the Portal games was that the woman used a portal gun and poorly at that.

I didn't really like it either. If it's gonna be a Portal movie then Chell needs to be the only human. The Portal Device looked like a child's play thing. Having rewatched it, it seems also heavily inspired by Half Life. The guard people are a lot like Civil Protection, and the chase up the stairs and onto the roof was straight out of the first chapter of Half Life 2 (albeit, with the addition of the Portal Gun and replacement of Gordon with Chell).

I thought it was neat for a very low budget production. Can't expect to much out of something like this.

If it were a trailer for a movie, I'd still be interested in watching it even considering some if its faults.
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

I liked the idea, but the execution was poor, yep. Mostly I agree with Yue - it shouldn't look like a prison.

I am not against people - if they looked like scientists or so too... You guys forget that at one moment Aperture was full of people. And they were not even full of deadly biotoxins...

Of course, it might be that this whole thing was watched by scientists in white coats behind one-way mirrors and the soldiers were actually other scientists (the lack of the soldiers' experience was clearly visible) - and it was one big experiment about how this type of environment affects subject's mind :>

I dunno. I'm with gotenks and Chez on this. It's too Half Life-ish to be Portal-like and also needs more robots. They did a good job doing what they did, but it's kinda too separate from the atmosphere Portal had. I would think the only time this would be plausible is after take your daughter to work day and before they started cryogenically freezing test subjects, which may be quite a stretch.

I overall liked this better. I wish it kept going. Although, the bits of Chell in game left something to be desired, but it was still more enjoyable. :up:
