A Scanner Darkly

I saw it last night... (accidentally posted another post in main forums http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f2/t412645.html).

I thought it was "good." The animation style was incredibly unique and amazing. However, the movie itself lacked "something," maybe it was more of a sci-fi element of just a stronger story, but it lacked. I did enjoy it, thought it was good, and have to see it again a second time to really consider its implications more... but overall good, not great.

Do not, by any means, listen to the poster above. The story lacked nothing. In fact, it may have been too complex and deep to absorb it all in one viewing. I thought it was spectacular, the rotoscope, the direction, the story, all very solid.

It's an incredibly unique experience and shouldn't be missed by anyone.

I strongly disliked this movie. It was simply unbearable to watch. Linklater's earlier film "Waking Life" was a million times better.

I never said the art was bad. the art was great. the art was the best part about the film.

Then what was so unbearable?

i thought the art was ok, but the rest of the movie... bleh...

The animation, no doubt intriguing and unique. I'd have to go with Solo and say that I need to see it again to grasp everything. Great flick.

I despise "Waking Life", but it's not detering me from renting this come Tuesday.

Is it like sin city type?

No check out my sig that's how it looks.

Havn´t seen this mentioned anywhere yet, anyone seen it?

Just watched a small trailer here, the cartoony style looks rather annoying, whats the story like?

There's only one word to describe it. And that word, you might want to get a pad of paper to write this down, that word is Amazing

'nuff said.

You like it then?

It is an extremely good movie, looks quite beautiful really and the plot and actors are top notch as well. 😄

There's a pretty extensive thread on it in the Sci Fi Forum.

Obviously, I am a fan.

I thought it was rubbish.
