Okay. Opening sequence is pretty neat, save for when you start doing the Fast Forward-> Slow Down thing and end up in a few silly positions in which you have to scroll slowly. The shot at 2:57 is not interesting, composition wise, since everything is so far away. 3:00 to 3:08 you pan to neat stuff using the fast forward technique, but you don't really give us time to look at it or get in much closer.
3:48 had some cool architectural happenings but you sorta skipped over that, too. I guess the reason for that is that there is no time for it. 4:55 is a good shot because it promotes the feeling of how vast and shear the cliffs are. Entering this nifty place at 5:29 you're practically saying "Ta-da!" but then quickly spin out of that one.
Same things happens around 6:20. I like the waterfall drop around 7:05. Nothing going on from 7:26 to about 7:35, following those little floating rune things would have been cool. The Warsong area does look cool but you zoom away from that, too! The area afterwards is done well because you can make out a lot of the details and get the entertaining effect of the lighthouses.
At 7:50ish you need to slow down and get a good view of that place. You employ a lot of camera views which have sprawling backgrounds behind them, and here is where it can be put to use; all of the floating debree is captivating, but you go downwards to the base of The Nexus.
Wargh! 8:23 we get this awesome looking tree and then you zip away and don't zoom out from it and show the landscape surrounding it which is pretty interesting in my opinion. From late into eight minutes and on into nine minutes, I do like the trail you follow.
Anyways. Overall a nifty film, focus is just put on weird places and not enough in others.
