watched this 2 nights back.

it's so beautifully bizzare that i couldnt get it out of my head.

it is entirely CGI except for the actors (think sky captain) but its a lot more bizarre than sky captain.

visually, it was like having a sumptous buffet. there were so many elements thrown in that i think my eyeballs were having a sensory overload.

it starts with serious post-apocalytic settings that ringed of WWII and then, there were these silly ridiculous looking armies of robots that i'm pretty sure would fit into a gorillaz mtv and then there were these characters whom i thought jumped in from Final Fanasty X, Power Rangers and King of Fighter arcade game. and the leads still manage to look stunningly beautiful all throughout 0_0

but the plot was so badly written and directed, i wasn't surprised to find out that
1)it's a debut by the writer/director
2)the writer/director is a photographer and shoots MTV (hence the great visuals heh)

but i was(!) surprised to find out he's Utada Hikaru's husband (she's a pop singer in Japan if you didn't know)

still... watch it for the fun of it. best to get lots of friends to laugh at the stupid plot and to Oooo over the male and female lead (they're seriously seriously gd-looking) and well...just for a breath of fresh air from Hollywood.
