SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

elshikh4 I have seen countless animated, CGI, or live short films. Yet, nothing was like Katedra or The Cathedral. It's maybe the best of them all. This time, not a movie, but a piece of art, could brilliantly summarize the human's journey on earth. So how about being a 7 minutes long as well ! There is a certain poetic pace, making the whole thing very special. The moment of losing the arm is as unforgettable as the most painful moment you had. And the final shot is sublime, just sublime, giving you the confirmation that you're watching a true great work. It's a film that leaves you dazzled with all the meanings of the word.I can't find out what could be the best of it; is it the design of the pilgrim's character?, is it the idea of The Cathedral itself as a holy center for all the human development ?, is it the music of the end ?, or is it the finale with its profoundly rousing spectacle in which all the human's power, abilities, age and self contribute to add just a small step towards a noble, unreached, aim ? I think it's one of the times when the best of the movie is the whole movie.As for the Oscar, let me gird up my loins. Firstly I was shocked when I knew that The Cathedral lost. But the shock of knowing that (The Chubbchubbs) was the one which won made me so mad! There is absolutely no comparison between the 2. Actually (The Chubbchubbs) can't be nominated in the first place, especially when The Cathedral is around!I don't trust the Oscar, or any other award for that matter, but when it comes to preferring a joke of a movie, or – at best – a show reel of a company's characters such as (Chubbchubbs) over this film then it's a partiality, stupidity, or sheer blindness, whatever the name of the crime is !Some films don't need any Oscar to be immortal. This one is on the top of them.

bowliniscool The first time I ever saw The Cathedral, I was sitting in Film class in high school. It was the only movie all year that I didn't want to end. It held my attention, from the beginning to the end. In fact I didn't even notice that I didn't blink until my contacts blurred over. The computer animation is just stunning, the soundtrack is beautiful, and the story is brilliant; there can be so many different interpretations. Once I saw The Cathedral, I wanted to watch it again and again. If you get a chance to see this film definitely see it, see what you think it means. You'll definitely have fun trying to figure out the meaning of it all.

whatev-3 Anyone who's seen the new Star Wars movies, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, The Matrix Reloaded and other heavy-CGI films can attest that the animation rarely conveys scope or true majesty: when you can tell something is fake, it's hard to let it take your breath away. However, The Cathedral is truly the first CGI I've seen that's left me in awe. The plot is elegantly simple, in fact, everything about this movie is elegant, beautiful and haunting. This is what CGI should be. Either this or Das Rad deserved to win the Oscar for best Animated Short.

legrooch The best 3d graphic i ever seen!!!! People - vote! Baginski is incredible! Lights, shadows....jezus!
