Infinity's Child

Rating:
Summary: Get it!
Review: 'Infinity's Child', the long awaited sequel to 'Planetary Traveler', is a unique exploration of the animated abstract computer art of Bill Ellsworth. While 'Planetary Traveler' is a fascinating survey of computer generated landscapes from a variety of artists, 'Infinity's Child' is a much more intimately focused and realized work. 'Infinity's Child' takes us on a mind-blowing visual journey that absolutely shatters the cliches associated with popular consumption computer animation. We fly through improvisational three-dimensional structures enlarged to the size of cities mutating and shimmering like living creatures. This is heady stuff! The movie works on several levels. There is a sci-fi plot line with narration early on that gives the uninitiated a reference point for appreciating what is about to happen, but it is Ellsworth's recognizable style combined with great editing, and a topnotch electronic music soundtrack that is the conceptual gel that holds things together. You don't have to be a computer-head to enjoy the ride. Anyone with an imagination and a willingness to explore new ideas will find this entertaining. 'Infinity's Child' is an intense visual experience that will stand up to repeated viewing. This one gets my highest recommendation. Get it!

Summary: Boring, Unimpressed
Review: Far from anything amazing. I have seen videos much older that were far more entertaining. I bought this mainly because I was looking for a newer computer generated movie and this appeared to be the newest with the best ratings. Maybe someone will appreicate the repititive boring styles, but I see better renderings happening at 60 Frames Per Second being rendered real-time on my home PC!

Summary: Infinity's Child: staple source for visuals artists
Review: First off, if you're not into eye candy, CGI, or visuals artistry you will probably not appreciate this video. There is no plot, soundtrack sucks, and overall there is no meaning to this video.

However, from a visuals artist's perspective, this is a great video: solid high quailty eye candy from start to finish, lots of movement, consistent all the way through. Similar to Planetary Traveler w/ less cheesy brycescapes and heavier on on textural/morphing CGI. Imagery is much more intricate than regular fractal eye-candy. Great for background ambiance at a house party or for starter/background source imagery for visuals artists.

In short, this is like the psychedellic stuff they play on the video screens at raves.

Summary: recreational...... users will eat this one up
Review: Folks, every once in a while I review something other than a book.

This video is an excellent idea. Normally I would never buy anything like this. But when I saw what it was, and especially the line on the box reading: "This extraordinary odyssey is told not with words but in picture and the language of the gods-music," I knew that I needed it. So I spent.... on it!!

I know I will watch this again and again. I have only once so far, and once you sit in front of this esoteric cosmic art for just a few seconds, you will be entranced into a vision losing all concepts of time. You will unite with the undulations. WHoaaaaaaahh. It really is good folks.

The closing line is magnificent. ~~As our consciousness shifts, we come to know this. In the infinite universe there is no possibility of event... Only the certain reality of all events. Everything exists. It is our destiny to explore the infinite.

Review: I love computer graphics and bought this DVD looking for something interesting to put on in the background when I've got people visiting. Unfortunately, although there were a few scenes that were pretty cool the majority of the graphics were boring.

Summary: A 40 minute screensaver
Review: I was rather disappointed in this video. Reminded me of the animated fractals screensaver on my computer. But would I sit there and view it for forty minutes? I don't think so. Planetary Traveller is much better than this one.
