Thanks for the memories!
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
This thing is really awfull. There´s no charachter with weight, they´re all floating around in the BG´s. The Motion Capture is a fine toy, but this movie demostrates that you really need people who knows animation to do an animated film. THE MACHINE CAN´T DO ANYTHING WELL BY ITSELF. If you see it as a bizarre film, you´ll have fun finding mistakes of continuity... IN A 3D MOVIE!!! It´s funny to watch the princess dress move around like a thing with diferent phisics. You need animators and 3D animators, not data-entries whom know 3D programs. Note the junctions, like the elbows, how they lost volume and get deformed. The person who made the charachter design (a very good one) sufered for sure when he/she watched them move, ´cos you can´t say they come to life.
Great effort to create an animated movie in three D. The plot in this case was secondary to the effects of making animated characters jump out at you on the screen. It was easy to follow with the fantasy of Sinbad and the princess reaching the depths of the ocean to find the answer and antidote for breaking the spell cast by the nefarious bad guy. The art of animation has been pushed further along due to this effort and a new bench mark set. Only those who risk going too far will ever know how far they can go. Worth watching young or old. My grandchildren loved it.
This movie is not only boring, it is also really badly done. The graphics are so bad, they are not even second rate - they are dreadful. The characters do not show any facial expresssions, the voice acting is empty and without any soul, and the plot absolutely lacks .... well... anything and everything. My 5 year old likes it - but thinks it's a bit boring. I agree with him.
In my own opinion, this was a great movie. But to tell the truth i only watched it for Brendan's voice. The plot was great, the story was well read, but the animation sucked. The way the charectors moved, it seemed like they were made of paper. In my opinion, the movie shouldnt have been animated, it should have been acted out. that would have made the movie more interesting and more real.
