billbeaumont A friend had a copy of this film and we watched it the other day. It is great! The script is well crafted and funny, the voice acting has great performances from some incredible voice talent including the amazing Tim Curry and the irrepressible Chad Fifer. The art and animation style is fresh and entertaining and supports the story well. The story is great too. It's a classic tale of zero to hero that is delivered well, has great pacing and gripped all of us right from the start. If I had to do one of those 'it's movie A meets movie B' things I'd say it's South Park meets Dogma meets Matrix. I hope this doesn't do the film an injustice - it takes elements of each of those films and bundles them together with a huge portion of originality and creates a great audience experience on every level. Great film. Buy it. Watch it. Love it.
realbaddy Don't be fooled by it's animation style or silly ideas, there's THE great spiritual truth in it which few seemed to grasp and therefore, unfortunately, rated it badly. It's maybe the most original and funny way to deliver these ideas to a broader audience, or at least those that have eyes to see.You might be offended if your very religious, or deem it ridiculous as an atheist... so there aren't many people left, but this movie is for you! It's really smart and contains the potential to change your outlook on life, purpose and the big "why?"There are some interesting references to the mindset behind the curtain but what really makes this gem shine is its message, which beats The Lord Of The Rings, Star Wars and even The Matrix. Yes, it's that important.9/10 Because there's no 10 in this dimension.
dbborroughs Flash animated tale of a nebish who ends up becoming the "chosen one". Good voice cast that includes Tim Curry, Lance Hendrickson and Chris Sarandon is lost at sea thanks to a rather weak script and similar direction. Give the film points for being full of clever references and "jokes" but take some away for the dully way they are put out for the audience to hear. I can't blame the cast since they aren't the ones responsible for an obvious plot and dull handling of the same. Of course it doesn't help that the flash style animation is at best minimal which may have been easy to render but at times made me think I would have been better off watching a film strip. I would take a pass.
L'MERM8D I saw this film in an advanced screening and was extremely impressed. It has a unique tone, successfully blending its wacky humor and nerdy references with some surprisingly stimulating religious commentary. From the opening scene, we're seduced by Tim Curry's velvety-voiced Lucifer who tells the story of perpetual slacker, Lou, and his mysterious destiny. As the narrative unfolds, what is so fresh and original about this film is the on slot of quirky gags and eccentric supporting characters, all products of the extreme reverence and appreciation for movie geekdom that this film exudes. The film also successfully rides the difficult line of poking fun at religious traditions while never feeling mean-spirited. Instead it teeters between cynical and genuinely sweet in its existential wanderings, while still managing to throw in some soccer-playing ninjas and robots, a hilarious peek into the complex chain of Beelzebub's inner spy network, and a random imaginary mech. What?! Yeah...I highly recommend this film.
