Cool, lots of loose ends though

Good futuristic cops and bad guys story, very different visuals.

I have seen it, but the impression was well there was no impression. In fact, I think I got so bored I passed out. It looked cool and had momentum and grit and probably deserves another watch. Until then I will stick by what my gut tells me. It is worth seeing due to it being a different take on animation. Other than that a complete yawnfest. I may feel differently after watching it again, but until then it is what it is. If it smells like poop and looks like poop most likely its......

Visually remarkable, but I remember coming away disappointed.

Took me several sittings to make it through, and it really wasn't worth the effort. The plot is a tedious cliché wrapped up in a unique visual style. Or more accurately, a jarring hard-to-watch, headache-inducing visual style that plainly doesn't work. The harsh black-and-white with no shades of gray to soften things makes large parts of the film an indistinguishable mess, while the constant retina-burning contrast made my eyes hurt more than the very worst 3D movie. Bad story, bad concept.

Didn't know much about this going in. Okay, I knew nothing except that Daniel Craig's voice was in it. Now that's a man crush.

was cool just for the style. everything else kind of sucked. story was dry. action was weak and not paced well. also i fell asleep during this.

Interesting movie with some unusual things. First is this art concept by Hélène Giraud, which is no less than stunning. It makes good dark ambient and it looks really sharp. But there are several scenes that are too cartoon-like e.g. car pursuit, some mouth mimics does not go along with speech and after 1h it becomes quite frustrating. Idea is good where the plot could have been better. This art technic has potential if used in right amount.

good enough

Average sci-fi/noir story, but amazing visuals.

Some nice visuals, but not much else.

The DVD case describes it as Blade Runner meets Sin City, and this is not entirely inaccurate -- although I would hasten to add that it's not quite as good as either. Still, a solid film.

Due to the style, I had a terrible time telling characters apart, and the story really didn't grab me. Since they bothered to make this black and white, they could have made the visuals a lot more interesting.

Great animation and cyper-punk/film noir style but the story just didn't grab me at all. I just didn't find it any more insightful than an average anime (and I don't find anime entertaining for the most part). See this for the animation.

very good black-whithe animation

although the animation has great potential, the plot drags it down to pretty "blah". i have to admit that the animation is almost a better example of noir-style camera action than the movies that are responsible for the term itself.

An interesting concept, both plot and filming style. There just didn't seem to be quite enough to push it into greatness. I'd recommend watching it once just for the experience.
