MCT:August 29, 2008I tried, but I couldn't sit through it. I guess I have become too main-stream, but the black and white only cartoon-like images and the long time it took for any coherent story to develop made me seek another movie to watch on TV this evening. Twice I've tried to watch this movie. I lasted 30 minutes this time before escaping.

Renaissance made me feel as if Sin City and A Scanner Darkly ravenously did IT with Blade Runner watching. In Europe. Renaissance is quite the visual feat--mind blowing animation that leaves you guessing what the hell else you're in store for. Unfortunately having to endure the sub-par, play-by-the-numbers plot with a foreseeable and uninteresting twist is the price you pay for such a visual treat. And the opening titles and closing credits made me want to murder whoever designed them.

MCT:July 25, 2008The visuals in this movie are stunning. It really blurs the line between 2-D and 3-D. Plot was a bit hard to follow in a few places, but easy enough to pick back up. Considering that in addition to creating the story, they also created an almost brand new world to set it in, I'd say they did pretty damn well. This movie would be worth watching even if there wasn't a plot though. It is a completely brilliant visual movie from start to finish.

Absolutely stunning visuals could not overcome a so-so story. A real breakthrough in technical filmmaking. Wow.

Visually intriguing, but not necessarily appealing, since it is hard to figure a few things out since they chose a lot more black fill than outline. And the story starts off way too fragmented. Though as it progresses, the film noir works and the story unfolds nicely. A good watch and nice to see if you are interested in this type of filmmaking. (The DVD has a how made feature)

Muy buena! No me pense que me gustaria por ser una pelicula animada, pero la trama, los personajes y hasta la misma animacion es muy diferente a lo que usualmente se ve y eso mismo fue lo que me gusto.

Stylish, interesting and well voiced. Not perfect in any way, but very well done and a cool sci-fi cyberpunk action-thrillerish flick.
-
MCT:April 23, 2008Characters look too similar but when I finish watchin it I know I will say this is good. It looks bloody good already from the 15mins I saw.

I think you needot be ready for this and know a lot about it before watching the extreme cartoon b&W although a brilliant idea and mood setter does detract from the story because you find yourself watching this effect more - may need more than 1 watch to appreciate it properly

a very good animated movie i was very impressed with the work in to this but i think just the black and white was sometimes hard to make out and i saw some mistakes too
1. it seems that some of the ground on the streets was glass or see through material and if so why in one scene a guy shoots at it to get the cop ?? surely if its strong enoiugh for people to walk or run its bulletproof???
2. if you are under the ground and you can see whats up above then you can see up women skirts lol which would be obscene to some people
ok finished now lol -

Kinda cool, because the whole movie is in straight black and white, no other tones of gray or anything. To pull it off they made a lighting masterpiece, and the film itself wasn't terrible either.

Gritty, beautifully created detective story set in the future. The tale itself isn't nearly as revolutionary as its animation, but it's still a fun ride.
-
MCT:February 21, 2008Didn't know it was animated! Was turned off from the start.. didn't finish..
Might give it a second chance some day... this year! -

A very stylish and entertaining movie. A nice plot and fantastic animation help flow the movie that keeps you gripped till the end. Great but loses itself in an underwhelming climax.
-
MCT:January 23, 2008No doubt the visual style of this film is a knockout. Unfortunately, the story (or lack thereof) ultimately knocked me out.

Interesting as hell cinematography, the script's alrie and the story isn't amazing. Review TBA. But NIFTY black and white cinematography!!
-
MCT:January 13, 2008I enjoyed this movie. the movie is set in animated black and white. A cop searches for kidnapped scientist. The scientist who works for a corporation that peddles enternal youth and beauty. its great, I personally enjoyed it.
-
MCT:January 12, 2008les effets speciaux sont vraiment bon mais le film a trop de cliché de d'autre film de science fiction disons tous simplement que je lui rajoute une etoile pour les effets

Nicely animated but sometimes you want to see things in colour too. I first thought that this movie would be more philosophical so I am a little disappointed. Although, the story is original and interesting.

Meh. The animation was good. I didn't particularly like the entire movie being in black and white when it could have easily been on color or live action. The acting was pretty good and so was the plot, even though it was predictable at times. All in all, just ok.

No sci-fi film should be this much of a chore to sit through. Their ideas are not presented well enough and while the black and white animation looks splendid, it's also frustrating to see what's going on.

This was an amazing film. I have never seen anything like this. The plot was original, the visual was beautiful, and the action was great. Happy/sad ending - you decide.

Underneath its future Paris setting and sci-fi themes this film is a rather typical and mundane police procedural however its unique and striking visual style makes up for it a great deal.
