  I feel like this movie kind of saves itself in the last ten minutes. The final fight between Chen and Miyamoto is honestly really good; with strong fight choreography and emotional stakes.

  The rest of the movie is………. fine, I guess? The fights are fun, but there’s too many of them going on in too rapid a succession to really be invested. Also maybe it’s just the Prime restoration, but there’s too many audio and visual quality is overall pretty bad.

  Not the worst thing in the world, but not great. And the lack of Bruce Lee and/or Jackie Chan doesn’t help.

More than that though, Loop is a beautiful short film that shows the importance of empathy and communication in resolving issues; as well as telling a remarkably engaging story in its own right.

  First of all, I…
