If you haven't seen it, here it is.
To say the least, it was disappointing. I agree with the many comments about it being more focused on the animation, and their own effects than anything else and it was disappointing to anyone who cares more about storyline than quality, and would rather watch a piece done by crayon with a good story line than that. It felt similar to me as when I watched the 17-minute Battlefield 4 gameplay trailer, as in it was overhyped, disappointing and appealed to 'newfriends' (As I am told /b/ now refers to them) It was sad, upset me in more ways than one, and now I am hoping to see someone try to make something better. Because, seriously, I have seen many mistakes made in this fandom and out, and in similar situations i.e., The Battlefield Franchise's Demise.
Mistakes? What were the mistakes and how did this fanwork disappointed you?
Me, on the other hand, see the storyline was at least adequate, although it could have been more...improved.

Here are my problems with it:
1. Rainbow being out of character
2. The dresses Rarity makes while being under the effect of the potion (Speak of unoriginality)
3. First Twilight says she doesn't know what it is, but after 1 or sentences she suddenly knows it
4. Pointless references like the aforementioned dresses, the troll face, Scootaloo the chicken, Back to the Future etc.
5. The pointless crossover with the Powerpuff Girls
6. Them being jerks
7. Pinkie Ex Machina
8. Pinkie's unlogical explanation on how she found RD
9. Rainbow Dash being too lazy to help rebuild what she destroyed
10. Wrong lesson learned
The animation was beautiful, the writing was crap
