Melts noir and sci-fi in an animation blender (my 200th review!)
Style wins
The good old style over substance theme goes into play here. Not that the story isn't intriguing at all, it does remind one of a movie called Blade Runner. And that is a compliment to the film Renaissance here of course!!
But the story tries to many things, it's overly complex and most of all, although I hate to say that, the animation does not help. It's a cool idea to make the movie only in black and white, like I said a cool style! But like in real life, where there also is not only "Black & white" a little Grey wouldn't have hurt! So although the unique style is one of it's high points, it's also one of it's downfalls too.
