that defnitly made me wanna watch the whole movie

but i really dont digg the rotoscoping style i never liked that its looking to real to be handrawn the illusion is just not there yet theres lots of human error in the cel shading but like none in anythign else give me sutiod gibli aniamtions over this anyday or even live action ^^

That was an interesting watch, my favorite character is definitely Rory Cochrane's paranoid tweaker character.

Hmm... I still don't like the style, but it seems interesting enough to warrent me wanting to see the rest.

Thanks for the link.

Wells · Jul 2006

I enjoyed it immensely. Now I have to go see the rest of it.

Tomorrow I will definitely finish it...I recommend Waking Life for people who at least like the style...Waking Life is more Philosophical, so just a warning for people who don't like that.

Yeah waking life is definately an awesome mind trip, definately recommend that to anyone who is able to stand the very lose rotoscoping, i know some people have complained that the visual style makes them sick watching it too long.

Looks fun. Pity you can't download it.

Just got back from the movie and I enjoyed it immensely. Superb acting all around and of course visually very stimulating. I can't pretend I completely understood the plot all the way through, but that wasn't necessarily to its detriment. Pretty funny in parts too. Well worth a watch.

I agree. It was a great film. Only one theatre in town was playing it. The one that normally plays independent films and documentaries.

I can't imagine how they acheived that style of animation for the whole film. I would pick small peices of the scene, and watch them move. But it all seemed to flow very well. I could watch the scene is if it were real.

I was a bit disapointed. I had been very excited to see this movie for a long time and it just didnt do a whole lot for me, it was interesting, had some really good parts and the visual style was of course fantastic but the story just seemed sort of flat. Nothing really every happens and then it seems like just as something is about to happen it ends.

So, entertaining but disapointing. Maybe i had my expectations too high for this movie, definatly nowhere near as engaging as waking life.

i dunno,I closed it after 30mins, I didnt understand shit first, and i dunno that style was interesting, but sometimes I couldnt get who was what and shit.. Maybne Ill give it another try tho, !!
