- soylentmatt21 mars 2026This movie is gorgeous and is dripping with style, and clearly earns its status as one of the most important movies ever made. It's also dark and sort of oppressively melancholy. Obviously you should know that going in, but the movie opens with an violent fight between biker gangs in a cyberpunk cityscape that is SO phenomenal it is impossible not to feel some degree of joy watching it, but then the rest of the movie... As gorgeously animated as it may be... Labors as hard as it can to crush the joy out of you. The movie isn't paced with the sort of rising tension / heroes journey / whatever that I think most audiences expect. Instead it's kind of holding your head down underwater while watching the light blink out of your eyes like Shamu drowning his trainer by her ponytail. If that's what your into .. or, you know, you're interested in watching one of the greatest feats of filmmaking ever performed... Then this is for you.
