    FUBBING MAJESTIC

    The cast did an excellent job, the audio is amazing and the visuals are stunning. Whoever voted 1 on this is a complete moron. Impressive as always Denis.

    Unless you study something very specific, don't watch that

    Listen to none of the

    Whoever voted 10 on this is, citing cast performance, while talking trash about those who dont get it, shouldnt be casting stones, and certainly not labelling anyone a moron. The cast? Really? NO ONE is in this, you absolute douche.

    For fans of Denis Villeneuve: This is not a feature film, and it is not a short. If you're here because you liked Dune, Arrival or Sicario, this may not be for you.

    Still here? Good. That means you may be up for something a little different.

    This, more than anything is a visual experiment, as described in the title. It does what it says on the box. If this piques your interest, this might be for you. If not, skip it.
