Simple scifi script, not much detail, bare animation. A bit disappointing.
Jennifer Grey, Bridget Fonda, Christopher Plummer

June 28, 2008A vastly underated & virtually unknown movie. I found it interesting that there were two version's of the movie, each with their own screenplay, which seems to be quite similar to a regular version and a directors cut.

March 29, 2008Not quite the mindfucking headtrip that Fantastic Planet was, but it's still got it's fair share of surreal madness and hey, the main villain is a giant brain with a robot army! Can't go wrong there, can you?

May 29, 2007The artwork sucks, but it has a great science fiction story! I watched it numerous times when I was a young teenager, I can't find it anywhere now, but I remember it being good.

April 5, 2007Rene Laloux's film that he made after Time Masters. Though not as good as its predecessor this film again benefits from brilliant and unusual animation and imagery and with a great simple storyline.

March 30, 2007I give this film 2 thumbs up, one of the most original animated films that has a beautiful animation. In a utopian society of Gandahar, a danger is arriving and it is up to Sylvain to stop it. A classic and underrated 1988 film.

October 20, 2007What's even more interesting is that Gandahar was originally planned to be Laloux's second feature - the pilot film, Les Hommes machines, was made in 1977, BEFORE Les Maîtres du temps, which was released in 1982.

October 4, 2007I also take pride in the fact that when I first searched for this movie on Flixter they didn't have it! I had to find it on imdb to confirm the actors that were in the film & with a picture I submitted it to them. I'm so proud of myself...

For anyone wanting to see it (again or for the first time) it's being released on DVD in the UK this October. This will be the first time it has been available with the original French soundtrack and English subtitles. Their Fantastic Planet DVD was NTSC and Region 0 (so would play pretty much anywhere) but I don't know about this one yet.

A vastly underated & virtually unknown movie. I found it interesting that there were two version's of the movie, each with their own screenplay, which seems to be quite similar to a regular verision and a directors cut. Isaac Asimov wrote the screenplay for the American version & that was probably the version that I saw and I would love to see the original version. If anybody has it & can share it on winmx or limewire, or anywhere, leave me a message on my profile.
