Team A vs Team B - Rubik's Cube
Two teams of lego minifigs (men) compete to solve a rubik's cube first.
Team A - Work out logical solutions to problems. Very Intelligent. Speak in their own made up language with mumbling.
Team B - Do anything possible to cheat. Not so intelligent. Actually speaks the english language... sort of.
Man, it must have taken you forever to solve that thing whilst animating.
You're unbeleivable!
Solving a rubiks cube can take five years ...
And you solved it while animating!

Five years? It only takes a couple minutes.
Rubiks cubes aren't that hard if you take time to figure it out or learn online or something. I can almost solve mine every time, and I've never looked up hints or help. Now onto the actual vid. I thought it was clever, a slow fps and some long transitions were a little boring, and it was quite predictable, but you managed to keep me around for the entire film, which is a feat, considering it isn't super short. No, it wasn't like a Smeagol Studios film, or a KG short, or an OldScratch masterpiece. But it wasn't trying to be, and I thought it was a good nod to what brickfilming used to be, fun films where quality wasn't a big deal. Also, you can solve a rubik's cube, that deserves some man points. It isn't a difficult thing, but you took the time to learn it, and that is awesome.
Anyways, hope I helped, hope my input was absolutely amazing I mean useful. Good job, and cheers!
*Unofficial Review*
I smiled... A LOT! What an interesting little film. I was really baffled when I saw the level of "classicness" in this brickfilm. It's not a technical marvel by any means, but the plot and gags carry the film along quite nicely. I also give my respect to the director for solving that Rubiks cube 
. The entire atmosphere of the film is well prestented and carried throughout the film. So don't worry about the quality or animation, focus on what this film is really trying to capture. The little Rubik's cube in our hearts .
Overall: 6
Story: 8
Animation: 4
Cinematography: 3
Effects: 5
Sound: 7

Nice story! Here are some things to watch out for: light flickering, the film rate was a bit choppy, the Rubik's moved when it wasn't supposed to. Other than that, this is a very good Brickfilm.
