Part III sees EliteProductions' first full length feature film with an impressive 75 minute run time for a machinima. This time around sees more characters, a more in depth plot with impressive writing and updated visuals. The voice acting is much better than the previous two films with DaneDimension (Steve Briggs) absolutely nailing his role. This 75 minute epic, emotional action, thriller lives up to the long year wait and anticipation."
