The Absurd, Surreal, Metaphysical and Fractured Destiny of Cerebus the Aardvark

This was unfortunate on so many levels. Sound mixing, rendering, editing, writing, literally everything. This recounted stories from the first few phonebooks; I can't imagine what this is like for a non-Cerebus fan, it probably scans as just random weirdness. The sole positive note was the 2D stuff during the movie and prior/during end credits. I have to say, the task of attempting a 3D CGI movie of Cerebus, which clearly thrived and embraced the 2D comic medium--not even including the later intricate, beautiful Gerhard backgrounds introduced in stories later than those adapted here--has got to be thankless, if understandable in the attempt. I hate to make an ad hominem argument, but perhaps other filmmakers would have greater success?

I truly enjoyed this film. Cerebus the Aardvark is on a quest to steal a jewel from the wizard Maki while battling the evils of Necross the Mad. Cerebus is charming with those expressive eyes and that determined stalk. On his journey, he engages with a multitude of interesting and intriguing characters from princes to villagers to villains with personalities and accents so uniquely different, your head will be spinning. From the barroom brawl to the sorcerer's globe, to the...well, you'll just have to wait to see how it ends-a truly magnificent visual. Oliver Simenson's Indie rendition of this classic comic series is the genuine article.

First thing first, I have never read the original Cerebus comic books. The closest thing was his appearance that happened in an early SPAWN comic issue that I bought as a kid. So going in as a casual viewer, the world was going to be brand new to me. I was pleasantly surprised with a great story and enjoyable experience. The animation to me, who holds no animation skills or talent, is very impressive and makes me wish I did. It allowed the filmmaker to be very artist as far as the different environments and characters go. The voice acting is top notch as music as well. If they ever do another I would be very interested to watch.

To preface I am a fan of the comic series this movie is based off of, I was interested to see there was an animated adaptation on Tubi and gave it a watch.

This is bar-none one of the worst movies I've ever seen, nearly everything is done wrong; Line reading, voice casting, accent decisions by VA's, animation, cinematic framing, shot transitions, anything you think this movie can do wrong it does.

This is a masterclass in terrible filmmaking, I hope the director can recognize their shortcomings and find a real job that suits their talents better. Film is not one of them. I would advise anyone interested in watching this movie to spend their time on literally anything else.

I really enjoyed "Cerebus" not only for its tale of adventure and discovery but also because the style of the movie recalled so many of my favorite animated films.

I kept recalling the whimsicality of "Wallace and Gromit" particularly when it came to the look of Cerebus himself. Lots of action, laughs, and heart-pounding excitement!

The movie had welcome touches like sequences featuring old-fashioned hand-drawn "2-D" animation as well, making the whole experience a delightful journey not only through Cerebus' adventures but through the history of the animated art form itself.

Don't miss "Cerebus the Aardvark"!
