I don't like it. The editing really bugs me.

What the hell was up with Pangea Day? A friend of mine invited me to come watch it with her on the day of the program, and I thought it was really awesome and amazing, but I was stupefied that I had never even heard about it before. WTF marketing team? Don't be fooled by the fact that I'm upset. This event was really cool. I'm upset more people didn't get to see something so potentially transformative.

The editing is fine. It's actually good editing.
Perhaps the title cards are disturbing to some.
This technic is one that was used in silent films. But it doesn't disturb the flow much.

There are some good films on this link and they are all pretty short.
