MCT:May 15, 2008Impressive illustrations and the manorisms of the stars were all captured brilliantly, particularly Robert Downey Jr. Love the suit too! Of cours this also is a unique cartooned way of seeming like a regular film, particularly with the topic, something I've only seen before in Anime.

great story and great direction. i loved this fil from the beginning 2 the end. a great reflection on the why society is going and means as much now as it did when the book written.. also big thumbs up for the graphic novel look to the film which added to the feel and flow of the film

MCT:May 6, 2008This movie... There are so many things I would rather do than watch this movie. I give it two stars not because I think it deserves them but because Linklater did spend years creating and redoing the animation for this film, pioneering a new style for film, TV, and commercials. RDJ is always good in everything he's in and the story is less boring than Matrix 3. Thus 2 stars. Other than that, Reeves is Reeves no matter how you dress him up. Unless he's in black baggy shorts and traveling through time in a phone booth, he's just bad. I saw the end coming a mile away. The pacing was slow. For the amount of trouble the filmmakers went to to create this animation style, it should have been more impressive. As it was, it looked like high-end Flash. Watch the trailer and you can skip the movie.

This is the second adaptation of a Philip K Dick novel I've seen, the first being Blade Runner. Unlike Blade Runner though, this isn't overrated. It is a dark, powerful story starring Keanu Reeves about an undercover cop who spirals out of control thanks to a drug addiction caused by the requirements of his job. A Scanner Darkly is initially difficult to get into; personally I didn't have a clue what was going on until halfway through. But once you realise what the hell is going on, you'll think its great. Unless you're the world's happiest man, then you won't be as happy anymore. Oh and the animation looks great blah blah blah.

Am I the only one who wants to see this because it's based on a Philip K Dick story? Come on, stoner movie, druggie author, whatever- Dick was a sci-fi genius

i dont get it, its just a stoner movie - random people get stoned, get paranoid & cant remember stuff, just dressed up with some felt tip pens of the film cells.

The style of animation is called roto-scoping. They film the actors playing the parts, and then basically paint over them.

Is this movie taking the whole drawn over (i.e. Waking Life) approach or is this computer animation. Looks interesting, but I found Keanu pretty unwatchable.

It was a great film to see. It really shows how drugs can be, also how messed up life can be too.

... and I have to say I wasn't too impressed from what I saw. I know it's only a little clip of the film, but it didn't look like my kind of flick.
I'll wait for the DVD, thank you.posted 667 days ago
