Magic Experience. This is the way movies should be experienced, it adds a layer of immersion that sitting in front of a screen doesn't have. The experience is not very long though, about 30 mins, maybe the duration is something that could be included in the product details, but it's still worth the 8 bucks especially if you can share with family.
Major performance problems. There is a point in the story where I have lockup and low frame rate. Intro is fine then once at the surface major frame drop outs and audio cut outs. Story freezes not sure what I did last time but manged to get past this point and the rest of the story played fine. Not sure the kids will sit through the start though. Using RTX 2070 and 4.6Ghz Fx-8350.
Definitely the best VR experience. As a big fan of Pixar & Disney style animations, this beautiful movie just reminded me of those. Even more, it is VR! What it means is not only you can just look around, but you can even feel the air! You can hang around in the scene wherever you want, enjoy this masterpiece in your own way. Even if you watch the movie more than couple of times, you will keep finding the new aspect of what the developers prepared for you. Story & overall experience was even greater. Especially when you submerged in the water, you will feel like you are actually in the water with events going on outside. Definitely I would recommend another users not to just sit on the chair, but to move around, sit & stand, feel the entire scene as freely as you can.
Short Ends without explanation. This is a short 30 minute animated film. Being in 3D enables you to look around, but you can't interact or move at all. The animation and acting are good, but there is very little story and it suddenly just ends without any conclusion to the story or explanation. Is it worth $8? Maybe, but go in with the proper expectations.

まあまあだ。すごいというより、まあまあ。まあまあ。すごいというより、まあまあ。そして、かなり短い！

Its ok. Not a wow, just ok. Its ok. Not a wow, just ok. And it is rather short!
Looks amazing, for five seconds. This looks amazing but no matter what I do it crashes after 5 seconds. Thise few seconds were very so 😭. I have a modern high end laptop with a great graphics card and up to date drivers. Could not get this to work.
Absolutely beautiful. Trying to write this review right after watching the movie is hard to do. There are so many things I want to say about it. I have a few main thoughts, if anyone's interested to read them before purchasing...
1. It's short, relative to normal, old-fashioned "pancake movies. It might be 15-20 minutes long. I didn't mind at all. Honestly, maybe I'm getting old or maybe I'm changing due to being at home more, but I'd rather a SOLID 20 minute story than a 2hr long remake/retelling/sequel/prequel. It was just the right length to be engaging for a VR pro like me, and short enough to be my new go-to when family comes over and I'm showcasing the best of VR.
2. The story is....beautiful. I'm not a "creative" type. But I can appreciate the wonderful story in this movie. Because it's shorter than most movies, each moment in the story was impactful. I was surprised at how real it felt, and how well the story was written. A lot of what the movie has to say is "shown, not told, and it's told brilliantly. There are implications in the film that shed light on greater truths about this movie's world.
3. Every single scene was spent looking around at all the detail. No way I caught it all. I'll definitely watch it again, as I'm sure I missed a lot. The attention to fine details really caught me off guard, truth be told. In one scene, as the movie was playing I stuck my head underwater, and it sounded just like it would if I was at that distance underwater.
--I thoroughly enjoyed the film from start to finish. Some people may think the $ is too much for 20 minutes of film, but it was well worth it in my humble opinion. The scenes are packed with detail, the story is very well told, and it speaks even when no one's talking. I want VR movies, 360 degree stories told and the audience is in the movie. Maybe one day I'll have the time for a 2hr long full-length VR movie. But for now, do yourself a favor and invest in this endeavor. You won't regret it.

新しいVRアニメ映画のリファレンスです。 Gloomy Eyes」「Wolves in the Walls」「Crow The Legend」のようなVR映画では太刀打ちできませんが、「Arden's Wake」はそれだけで高くそびえ立っています。 これは新しい映画ではないことに注意してください、それは2018年のものであり、私はなぜそれが以前に公開されていないのか見当もつきません。これはまた、このムービーがRift CV1のようなled hmdsのために作られたことを意味します。私は私のGTX 1080でスーパーサンプリング(ss)を2.0にクランクアップしたRift CV1を使用してムービーをテストし、私はしっかりと90fpsを得ました。ムービーは、超シャープで、超ぼやけたデフォルトのss 1.0よりもss 2.0を使用して非常に良く見えます。だから、可能な限りssを高くすることを忘れないでください。 これは感動的な乗り物です - 私は何度も感動しました。座った状態での体験であっても、何度か立ち上がって全てを見たいと思うでしょう。実際、Rift-SやQuest 2のような液晶ディスプレイを使用している場合に比べて、低解像度のテクスチャをより高解像度に見せるのにSDEは役立つかもしれません。サウンドやアリシア・ビカンダーの声も最高で、この体験をさらに盛り上げてくれます。 このアニメ映画とGloomy Eyesは、今では一番好きなVRアニメ映画だと思います。まだ見ていない人は、この素晴らしい映画を見る必要があります。

A new VR animated movie reference. With VR movies like Gloomy Eyes, Wolves in the Walls and Crow The Legend it's hard to compete, but Arden's Wake stands tall on its own. Note this is not a new movie, it's from 2018, and I have no idea why it has not been released before. This also means that the movie was made for oled hmds like Rift CV1. I tested the movie using Rift CV1 with super sampling (ss) cranked up to 2.0 with my GTX 1080, and I got solid 90 fps. The movie looks super-sharp and extremely much better using ss 2.0 than the super-blurry default ss 1.0. So remember to increase ss as high as possible! This is an emotional ride - I did get touched more than once. Even if its a seated experience, you'll want to stand up a few times to take in everything. Btw, using Rift CV1, I did not notice the SDE, in fact the SDE may help making some low-res textures look much more high-res than if you're using lcd hmds like Rift-S or Quest 2. Using Rift CV1 most textures looked awesome and had great detail. Sounds, and Alicia Vikander's voice, are awesome too and further lift this experience. I think this animated movie and Gloomy Eyes are now my favorite VR animated movies. If you haven't, you need to see this awesome movie!
Definitely the best VR experience. As a big fan of Pixar & Disney style animations, this beautiful movie just reminded me of those. Even more, it is VR! What it means is not only you can just look around, but you can even feel the air! You can hang around in the scene wherever you want, enjoy this masterpiece in your own way.

Only 5 stars because I can't do 6. Probably one of the most touching, emotional, and haunting experiences I've had in a very, very long time. The best tales, I've found, are simple ones that are exceptionally well told in a compelling and heart-rending manner, and from the start Arden's Wake will not let go. Technically speaking, it's perfect in its balance of resolution and optimization.
Thematically and story wise, it's going to reach in to your chest, rip your beating heart out, smile at your hurt, and dare you to feel otherwise.
The only downside is that I had to keep taking the VR mask off to wipe my eyes.
stunning.. One of the most beautiful and emotional VR shorts out there. Just don't forget to press CTRL and UP key -when seeing the start screen- to increase the graphical quality to High or Ultra.
Nicely done. It was interesting and imaginative. It uses an isolated environment to emphasize the interdependencies within a family along with the ugly that sometimes occurs.
Why the hell would pressing the right thumbstick at any point, restart the whole film with no confirmation. I have to sit through 20 mins with no ability to skip or fast forward or anything simply cos I thought there might be a menu/settings button that could make things less blurry?
Major performance problems. Much slower than games like Half Life Alex which seems very odd. Intro is fine then once at the surface major frame drop outs and audio cut outs.
