TLOTA: I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and The views that I’m about to express are that of my own and some of yours. Well… this is embarrassing. You see, I made a wager with Linkara as to whether or not he could get his movie finished and out for people to watch by the end of the year and since he has done so. I now have to honor the wager. Either review his attempt at making cinema or be forced to carry Comicron-One on my back whilst singing the opening theme song TO “Atop The Fourth Wall” down every street in Minnesota and seeing as how I’m not singing Vincent E.L.’s theme for “Atop The Fourth Wall”, I’m not in Minnesota and Comicron-One is NOT behind me. Well then you know what I’m doing.
In some respects, the AT4W movie plays out like a Channel Awesome anniversary movie if someone other than Doug/Nostalgia Critic were the lead character. We have several other reviewers playing supporting roles, and others in cameos. All in all, I thought it was nice to see what happens when someone else is the one setting the plot in motion and rallying the others together for a change. (‘To Boldly Flee’, to which this is a sequel of sorts to, suffered especially from the Doug-centric nature of the CA anniversaries).
It worked on that level, and also as a feature-length extension of the AT4W storyline segments. Linkara’s character arc, I thought, had a nice climax where he realizes that while bad comics and other bad entertainment will never completely go away, he still wants to continue to see it all: the good, the bad, the weird, and so on.
I probably wouldn’t recommend it to those not already familiar with AT4W, as it addresses a lot of stuff from the AT4W storylines (such as Harvey Finevoice’s feeling bad about running out on Linkara during the original Mechakara confrontation), and answers a few previously unanswered questions. But on the levels I spoke of in the previous two paragraphs, I think it works pretty well.
Favorite moments: Lupa and 90’s Kid’s bonding moment where Lupa asks just what is with him and his obsession with 90’s culture, Linkara’s epiphany, and the final showdown with Mechakara (including the Precision F Strike).
I liked it enough that I felt I had to review it. I just hope when I make my movie which will also try to connect some members from this site and some from the site Linkara and his associates were apart of, Obviously not Doug and those that are there now for something semi normal once the world gets better.
