Summary: 13 MINUITES!!!!
Review: What can I say about this film/this short/very short film. I enjoyed it but just as I thought it may of been getting good... it was over!

Now, before I bought this movie I quickly glanced at the back to see how long it was and saw "-APPROX. 75MIN.," so I said, kinda short but I really liked "The Mind's Eye" series, which was produced by the same guy, so for $10 I bought it.

I HAVE NEVER FELT SO GYPED OUT OF MY MONEY! - (I came close
however, when I bought "Anime: from concept to reality" which wasn't anime at all.)

About the "kinda short" thing, I stupidly had failed to look before the dash where it read "+ f8-APPROX. 13MIN/BONUS FEATURES-APPROX. 75MIN."

The film is only 13MINUITES! And the only way that the special features are 75min is because it has 5 different commentary tracks.

I'm an artist and it is a very detailed movie, but the characters are detailed-cartoons. I tried to appreciate it for its detail and artistic beauty, but I couldn't see past the cartoon-like characters who killed the realisticness of the film.

And unless you watch the commentaries you have no idea of what the story is.

I did however enjoy the music which was the main audio for the movie, accompanied only by a few sound fx.

Something else I noticed was that the frames per second was rather slow. Things didn't move ultra smoothly like in most CG movies/scenes or even video game FMV sequences, instead you could see it change from one frame to the next.

At its' best it's a visual feast of "fish tank-like" colors and alien worlds, but I have seen better examples in video games.
