I really loved this movie and want to see it again
2 September 2007
I saw this movie today for the first time, and I found it so different to any other I've seen. It was funny, moving and had some great ideas. The acting was good - the quality of cast was amazing for a low-budget film - and there was plenty of humour if you like taking a sideways look at things, as I do. Jsu Garcia's performance was outstanding. He conveyed the changes his character was going through very clearly. The effects were fantastic. I'd seen the trailer and thought they might be a bit tacky, but they blended together with the live action so well that I was completely hooked. This level of CGI isn't unusual, but I've never seen done so well for this sort of story. I particularly liked the lack of any preaching, and the way different points of view were expressed - it's not a dogmatic film. The plot was deceptively simple, and I was moved to tears a number of times with the ups and downs of the characters' lives and events. I'm still absorbing what I've seen, and I know I'll get more out of it each time I see it, so roll on the next screening in the UK. Thanks for making this one, guys.
