When the beams fly across each time, the sound you hear is that of the sound of someone sweeping ice or something like that, and they play that sound a little to much, meybe if they changed that sounds or removed it, i would think that would be pretty good.

Well - the visuals are nice, but the sound is just too messy... Why so many sound effects ? It sort of wrecks it - it just sounds too busy - and in that sense, I prefer the N24 version.
What I really don't like though is that ending with the red fuzzy background and the BBC World logo and slogan. It just looks naff to me. I would have much preferred to see them focus in on the red band at the end, and then have the globe-and-ribbons logo cleverly form over the top. Apart from anything, it would have linked in much better with the rest of the channel's branding.
Also - Hyma mentioned above that they've put a reflection of the red beam on the river - yet on the final scene, with the rice paddies (I assume that's what they are), there's no reflection on the water, despite far more obvious reflections from the real elements around it.
All in all, I think the last countdown was too simple in its design, but now this one has gone a bit over the top. So, I'm just a little bit disappointed from this effort.
