terrible... so disappointed.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Seminal, Influential, InspirationalI saw a clip from this short film in the very early 80s on an edition of the BBC documentary show "Horizon" that dealt with the nascent computer animation industry.I was truly stunned by it and decided that computer animation, whatever it was, was the thing that I wanted to do with my life. The images in the piece have stayed fresh in my mind ever since that day.25 years or so later that's exactly what I am doing! These days it is so easy to churn out incredible images, but this film really achieved something special with a medium so difficult to use at the time that most of the practitioners had degrees in rocket science!
