ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

jingagogo ...unless you are happy with a severely lacking plot and are a big fan of different types of animation being randomly merged together. I couldn't even watch it the whole way through and had to walk out of the cinema.I imagine it would appeal to nobody but a small minority of film students who might appreciate Mr Strange's use of different media in a 'unique' way. However, I would like to point out that just because it has never been done before, it doesn't make it creative in the good sense of the word.in conclusion: it is the worst movie i have seen and I disliked it soo much that when i saw its ridiculously inflated rating on this site, I had to join up especially to save people from wasting their time.

samnewman89 though not an avid follower of the film, i saw the trailer a year or so back and was looking forward to it, i do feel quite let down i must admit, production value is top notch. i couldn't have expected anything better; the mixture of animation styles and unusual soundtrack create a very original and unique experience.Despite this, every film needs a plot and this film was in serious lacking. Character development was non-existent; story very basic and predictable. Dialogue was almost non-existent and some parts are very hard to understand.Nevertheless if you watch this with an open mind i think you'll enjoy it. It's quite amazing for a film made by one man.

bisiker Luckily i saw this film at a film festival from a pass i bought to watch as many films as i wanted. So at least when i left this film feeling angry and annoyed at how terrible it was, i could at least gain some satisfaction by knowing i hadn't wasted my money completely.This film lacks everything that makes a good film, it has no structure, no plot, no characterisation, no nothing. The only good point i could give this film is the fact that it was done by one man, that is an achievement i'll admit, but still not worthy enough to make this film any better. For it felt that M dot Strange had just tried to make as many cool animation scenes as he could, and thought i'll whack this in because it looks cool, when it was just painful. There was no story and the only bit of a story you got you knew what was going to happen, and by this point you don't care. For i couldn't care less whether any characters died in this film, because we never truly got to know them or really know what was going on, what were the rules to this world, why did this happen or anything else. M dot Strange spent too much time on his animation and completely forgot everything that is needed to make a good film.Basically i say to anyone who wants to watch this film...don't! Never have i seen so many people walk out a film than i did with this one. The only reason i stayed until the end was because it was cold outside, and i'm fair in seeing a film to the end until i make my judgement. And here it is.

gwendlicious This film is a brilliant combination of different forms of art and digital media. I, for one, am not at all connected to any genre or sub-culture that might relate to this film. I never play video games, do not like 8-bit music, do not particularly like any kind of animation, and have watched virtually no anime. I actually walked into the movie at Sundance about 10 minutes late and had a hard time getting to my seat because of the visual and audio onslaught coming at me from the screen. I was completely confused for about 3/4 of the movie yet I could not stop watching. The plot was developed almost entirely outside the realm of dialog and I suggest you read about the story before you begin watching.What I love about this film is that it makes you think. As much as I disliked (pretty much hated) parts of it, I was completely drawn in. It really made me re-evaluate why I watch movies and what I get from them. Sundance was a great forum for this film because it definitely is an INDIE film. I HIGHLY recommend seeing this film if you want something different than anything you have ever seen. *Give it a chance - it is really something that needs to be watched in its entirety before judgment is made*. Even if you hate the movie, it is still worth watching if you like to expand your perception of what film is. I walked away from this movie with a much greater appreciation for different kinds of art and the amount of work that went into blending all the mediums used.
