It appealed to my tastes but I am probably in the minority on this one.

Great Blu Ray transfer and a cool movie. Unfortunately I had to watch this alone because no one else was able to get through the first ten minutes. Therefore this is obviously not to everyones tastes and despite the impressive cast this is my no means a mainstream film. If you haven't seen this then try renting it first.
If you have seen this before and would like to buy it then the blu ray transfer is great, extras are minimal and probably just ported over from the DVD, the sound is only DD5.1. There are no lossless audio tracks but this a dialogue driven film and its probably not a major issue.

I loved this movie and wanted to buy one, so I got it new and the shipment was super speedy! Great packaging and no problem with the dvd whatsoever. I just bought a book and hope to get it soon, can't wait to start reading it, since it's only sold online and it's not checkable in libraries yet.
Get this movie if you love the actors in the movie like I do. I'm a Keanu fan. And love to see in Animated format. This movie was very interesting b/c they used actors and CG ontop, to create this movie. It's facinating how so much work goes into making a movie.
Their prices here are a lot cheaper than other places, so buying has been very nice. I hope to continue shopping here in the future.

Dick put to good Use
Added 5/26/2009
I like Dick, having been lured by a 'Rollingstone' article on him in the 70s. By then, he was already a cult figure. I read Scanner and 'The 3 Stigmata of Palmer Eldrich' and was seriously disorientated. And this without recourse to anything but the written word; P K Dick's words. No other sci fi writer has touched me so. And here, Linklater has struck upon a perfect filmic technique to attempt to translate the altered states of consciousness that so obsessed Dick. This is a film brimming with info and insight. And it looks suave, and suitably deadpan simultaneously. Loved it! And definitely will give it a re-run.

Form over substance
Added 3/9/2009
Form over substance! Dialogue is monotonous and sleep-inducing. Plot is not terribly intriguing. The only cool aspect is the "cartoonization" of the actors. Overall, go watch something else.

New Age Art ??
Added 3/1/2009
OMG! The plot line might of been good I do not know as I could not stand to watch this form of animation.The way the artists drew the faces of these characters was terrible.The shadows of the faces were like they were moving all the time,it was madness to watch.It was like the shadows had a life of their own and it was very irritating to watch,so I quit after about ten minutes.I could not stand to watch it.It drove me nuts.
