Google Spotlight Stories: Age of Sail reviews and comments

Translated by

Nice-made Short Story about an old Sea bear. For me, the best VR short film from Google Spotlight Stories so far, even before Pearl.

Google Spotlight typical Of a really great little story presented in VR. And security, also depicted here and there in his storytelling touchingly. Definitely worth a Look.

Age of Sail is another successful Short Film from Google (tested with the HTC Vive) We accompany an old Sea Bear on its Shallop and rescue a little Girl who has fallen from a Luxury Steamer. Nothing more is to be revealed here either, because the Film lasts only 11 Minutes and therefore does not have as much Content. But in this short Period of Time, Age of Sail manages to trigger a bandwidth of Emotion. Visually, the Film is more reminiscent of a vivid Painting, is certainly a matter of taste, but I liked it. As usual, the Setting has been very successful. The Speakers make a professional Impression and are easy to understand (if you have basic English Skills, Subtitles don't exist) But even without Language Skills, the Story isn't so hard to trace that you don't risk a Look anyway Could. Those who liked the other Spotlight Stories won't be disappointed here either, a clear Thumb up. Greeting Ziffi Ziffi's Game tips as Curator: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/5837414/

Google Spotlight Stories has released its latest Short Film Age of Sail. Directed by John Kahrs, is a beautifully animated dramatic Tale of an old, lonely Sailor who wanted to hand his Fate over to the Sea, played by Ian McShane. However, When a Girl (Cathy Ang) falls Overboard from a passing Ship, the whole Situation suddenly changes. Age of Sail is the first Short Film from Google Spotlight Stories that comes with Dialogue. It is not necessarily necessary to understand English, the Pictures convey the Emotions very well even without a Language Understanding. But there's a lot of Drama in the Talks, too. With just over 12 Minutes To play, Age of Sail is even the longest of any Google Spotlight Stories at the Moment. Age of Sail was officially selected at this year's Venice Film Festival and is also eligible for the best animated short film Oscar. That Alone is a Reason to look at this Masterpiece. And for those who don't have VR glasses of any Kind, you can also see the Film on Youtube, but not in a 360 ° version, which is a great pity. There is only the Flat Version to see. As always, the Google Spotlight Stories are in vain, so don't hesitate to watch this emotional Drama. More dramatic Reviews: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32170554/
