''To Boldly Flee'' is the fourth anniversary video event of the website Website/ChannelAwesome. Continuing from where ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'' left off, one year later, WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic is depressed over the loss of Ma-Ti. A galactic threat is brewing, beginning with the appearance of a gigantic "[[OurWormholesAreDifferent Plot Hole]]" in space and the vendetta of a bitter [[Film/BattlefieldEarth Turrell]]. Put under house arrest by the government for [[DigitalPiracyIsEvil breaking copyright laws with his reviews]], Critic discovers the wormhole has some connection to mysterious messages being sent by Ma-Ti, whose body may have died -- but the "character" is still in the ether somewhere! He responds by converting his house into a spaceship and blasting off to find him, defeat Turrell and his allies, prove his innocence so he and his friends can keep their jobs, and stop the hole from disrupting space and time. Comedy, science-fiction film parodies, jabs at Hollywood politics, and dramatic moments ensue.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: The movie presents two very different opinions on successful entertainment, [[SoBadItsGood one about fame]] [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity through everlasting infamy]] and the other about creating legitimately great movies.



** One that was set up from the Critic's "Top 11 Awesome Movie Themes"; he ends his ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' segment with an odd comment about forgetting Creator/OrlandoBloom was in it and how that's no small feat. ''Part 1'' reveals that he wants to forget because his brain is full of naked images of the guy.



** The chapter in Takei's book, “Loving Your Joystick”, is a cute reference to Critic victory-fellating a joystick in a crossover with Joe.



** The suicidally cocky Judge Dredd moments where Critic is more interested in staying with the people who want to kill him instead of using the big field to run away, bear a striking resemblance to the ''Suburban Knights'' battles with Jaffers, where he was also more interested in staying/dying than running away.



** Film Brain reacts in horror when he sees the Last Angry Geek's spirit. Is it because he's a ghost, or because he's [[WebVideo/SuburbanKnights Cloak #1]]?



* CoversAlwaysLie: Fans got nervous at Dredd Critic in the cast photo, thinking it would be really hard to buy an emotional "final journey" with half of Doug's face hidden. Turns out he was only in that costume for ten minutes, and the rest of the time he was in his normal suit.



** [[spoiler: Unlike with Malachite, all of the villains are explicitly KilledOffForReal]], and a surprising number of scenes are [[PlayedForDrama played completely straight]].



* DidTheyOrDidntThey: The Chick and Linkara in ''Part 3'' make a loud ruckus in Linkara's room, and everyone assumes they did. [[spoiler:They didn't. [[TheMole Mechakara]] was [[BrainwashedAndCrazy assimilating Chick]].]]



* DramaticIrony: Phelous mocks Critic for not being a hero at the ''exact'' moment Critic is going off to be a martyr.
** Phelous also picked the wrong moment to be TheStarscream in part four, as Critic was more than willing to lead the rescue team, save Spoony and very likely get himself get captured or killed.
** Example for post-movie. Insano tells the team that the world is now nothing but chaos and inconsistencies, so learn to enjoy it. But instead of the TGWTG universe getting DenserAndWackier with “PlotHole!” as an excuse, it actually got hit hard with CerebusSyndrome, with a lot of reviewers having well-received breakdown episodes.

* LostInCharacter: According to both his and Rob's commentaries, because Doug was having a meltdown while filming, he related to Critic's misery too much. He had to reshoot several Critic-angst scenes because he was getting actually upset and not acting, and Rob talked about writing the Critic/Film Brain goodbye based on issues he had with Critic, and having to explain to a hurt Doug that he was calling ''Critic'' a bad reviewer, not Doug himself.



* {{Motif}}: All the focus on wedding rings in ''Part 8'', Rob's, Brad's, Doug's and James's are all prominently in the shots, and the cast commentary got confused at the {{flashback}} of Luke and Snob shaking hands, as originally the latter's ring finger was empty.

* MythologyGag: Doug first got the idea to have Spoony play Turrell in his ''Film/BattlefieldEarth'' review when he realized how much his and Rob's attempts at the role sounded like Spoony's impression of the similar LargeHam sci-fi villain [[Film/{{Dune}} [[Film/Dune1984 Baron Harkonnen]]. So here, we have Spoony as Turrell, but saying Harkonnen's lines.
