Cyberworld is an average movie. Its essentially a series of 3d computer animated sequences (many of them just surreal without any underlying narrative), linked by some corny backstory of the animation "gallery" - in which the sequences are being displayed - being invaded by computer bugs.Forget about the whole gallery idea. Its slow, dull and afetr a while quite irritating. Its the short films that make cyberworld something just about worth seeing. The only problem is that the best sequences are taken from Antz and an old simpsons halloween special, so there's not much new to look forward to. Furthermore there's absolutley no flow or common theme linking the films. Yes they are all computer animated, but so what. There's a little bit of the Simpsons, then there's something about a flying ballet dancer, the pet shop boys flying through a pyramid snow world etc. Overall this serves to break up the film and make it seem much longer than it really is.Don't get me wrong some of these pieces are beautiful to look at, but when your watching a movie (rather than an art installation) you need some sort of story structure to keep you intersted in the images - however cool eye-catching they are. To be honest, all this would be forgivable if the whole IMAX/ 3d effect had real impact (lets be honest, when you see an imax movie you should never expect Shindler's List), but it doesn't. These short animations were not originally designed for a 3d or imax experince. Yes, they do look cool in big and in 3d, but none of the pieces (excpet for the opening credits) utilise 3d imax to its full slam-bang-in-your-face effect. Essentially then Cyberworld is pretty, its slightly 'cool' to watch, but there's no flow, and as an imax experience it just doesn't pack a punch. If you can, you should try and catch Encounters in 3D (also imax - see my review) which ultimatley proves to be a much more satisfying experince.
