I'm not a person who likes cartoons or anime and though this has a cartoonish feel with the rotoscoping, which I was unaware of until I heard about the movie, I was very impressed. There is warmth and depth of the characters and you feel for their plight. The young actor playing Todd, Ethan Walker, was outstanding. He reminds me a bit of Heath Ledger. There is the vulnerability there that Heath often exuded. I expect great things from him!
David Selby is of course as fabulous as always! He can make the devil appear to be most charming! Lucifer Gray reminded me somewhat of Richard Channing. Suave and likeable but heartless. Super performance! Would have liked to have seen his face some without the rotoscoping, though!
The colors are great and beautiful. I like seeing the images of Los Angeles in this way. And the story makes you feel sad that the once beautiful country is now a large, sprawling city. I was so glad that Ansel did not resort to outlandish violence or a stereotypical cartoonish story. The science fiction aspect was well done. Very believable and it fit perfectly well into the story.
I Had heard the podcast with Ansel, David and Nathan on Terror at Collinwood and it inspired me to check out the movie. I have not seen any of Ansel's other movies but will definitely check them out. This one, however, I have the feeling is his best to date. The other cast members were also great! And Lacy Salome was quite fun!
I highly recommend it anyone! Great job! I look forward to more outstanding works from Ansel, David and Nathan!
