Summary: Daft Punk and Anime fans UNITE!
Review: This is an excellent movie. Firstly, I am a huge fan of the Daft Punk album "Discovery", so I loved the music. The animation was suprising VERY good. I didn't really expect too much, but the story ended up being very well told (with no acutual dialogue within the film) and beautiful to look at. If you love Daft Punk buy this NOW. If you like anime, you should check it out too, as it's flawless.

Summary: Daft Punk and Matsumoto's "Stellar" performance!
Review: This is probably the best film I have seen this year so far. The way the film has no dialogue, and just lets the wonderful music of Daft Punk tell the story is so excellent. It can seem a little cheesy at times, but all the while you are still dazzled by the music, and you'll never turn away from the story line.

Summary: Not just eye candy - Affirming of the human spirit
Review: What a great movie. I just got it in the mail today and planned to pop it in for just a minute to see what it looked like. I ended up mesmerized and watching it straight through -- after working a 12 hour day today! At first, I was not sure if I'd like this movie enough to buy it because some people reviewing here kind of said the plot might be thin or confusing. I was thinking maybe it would just be eye candy, but I like Daft Punk and I do like animation, so I thought I'd try it.

After watching Interstella 5555 tonight, I'd say there was only one point I got lost in the plot a little bit. The animation is very cool, but more than that, it is a very positive movie with very sympathetic characters. The characters are musicians who are kidnapped by this guy who is just aiming to increase his own power and is exploiting both them and their fans to get it. He writes over their memories, changes their skin color and their clothes, and takes them to his own faraway planet. They can still play music people like, but you can see in their eyes that they have no spirit left in them when they don't know who they are anymore. I won't spoil the plot too much, but I think that is the greatest strength of this movie is that it is affirming to the human spirit and has a good deal of faith in the human spirit all in all. And in addition to the lofty things, it has great music and fashions!

For me, it builds on the aesthetic of all the rainbows and disco dreams that fascinated me when I was a 10-year-old roller skating kid in the 1980s--bright colors, magical scenes, sparkling shimmers. In contrast to the adult 80s which have the rep for being a decadent self-absorbed time, for me this draws on the experience of kids from the 1980s, which was influenced by that adult scene, but had its own different experience dealing with that culture from the perspective of relative innocence. The movie has a reflective stance that maybe integrates those experiences. It says you are sexiest and most vibrant when you are yourself, know what you stand for, and do what's right. And it charms me how it also hearkens back to what was magic to me in my childhood.

Summary: The best musical I have ever seen
Review: When I first heard about this DVD I thought "omg Daft Punk has a video with manga"!!! Actually I didn't even read what it was about. So I bought it and I loved it. The songs go with the parts they play in the video. It's so good even without talking. My favorite parts in the DVD are the beginning with One more time because partying at a concert is what you think of when you hear that song. I also like Digital Love because I really do think of him going to get the girl he loves when I hear that song. Then my third favorite part is Something about Us because it is the saddest and best part of the video. Overall the video is really, really, REALLY good. It sounds very good in surround sound and has good sound effects. The storyline is good too and you can watch it over and over again. I'd reccomend for everyone to buy this DVD.

Summary: I Love this movie , But.......
Review: Why did they have to kill someone who just got shot in his arm?
I don't think something like that could kill you. This movie is kind of a love story. It is a very sad story , But it has a happy ending. Daft Punk is a really cool band. They put out a lot of songs , and everyone of them is GREAT!!! If you like cartoons and/or Daft Punk then you should get this DVD.

Summary: Life - Changing
Review: Words can not express the feelings I had after watching the movie - just as they were not needed to tell the story. Daft Punk is Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel de Homem Christo (both French) and the Discovery animation is done by animation legend Leiji Matsumoto. After first hearing those guys years ago on Toonami, I then spent forever scouring the boundless field of drivel that is the internet trying to find the videos. But as luck would have it, all I ever found were the first four. And I NEEDED TO KNOW what happened to the characters!!! I became ravenous - it took over my life!! I could think of nothing else! This movie will change your life. After watching it for the first time, I sat and stared at the screen for minutes on end. A single tear rolled down my cheek. I now have no regrets. Riveting, wonderful, catchy, upbeat, tragically sad, and so full of joy it makes you cry. Not enough good can be said about it. Buy it now!
