Fantastic!

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

THE ART IS WONDERFUL. There is no question there. These guys are talented at what they do and can tell a good story. These short films are visually assaulting and created with originality that sets them apart from other animation. That said, the message of these films is astonishingly misleading and anti-American. They have paraded extremely anti-American, and terror-sympathetic themes as truth. The worst part is that they are not just extremely left winged liberal Demacrates, but they are not even American. They are Canadian. It is frustrating for me when Canadians try and speak on the issues of America like their own. But alas the goings on of America and its wars have nothing to do with Canada directly. Thanks for your opinion, but no thanks.The beginning and ending of each section is graced with a quote that is meant to enhance the point the filmmakers are trying to make. Keeping in that tradition I will end this section with a quote of my own to enhance my point."Canada is like a loft apartment over a really great party." - Robin Williams

An interesting experiment but sophomoric and self-important. As Brooke Burgess implies, he has traveled the world and found the truth...now he seeks to enlighten us all with his vision.The writing is self indulgent and sophomoric, smarmy and preachy. It all boils down to love and God and religion and faith. BS. Just like the ending of The fifth Element, love solves everything. God is in us all. In the end we will see the light (it's all there in digital code), and the warriors will lay down their weapons and the Muslims will join with the Hebrews and Christians and Buddhists and get together and throw one big party. And the lamb shall lay down with the lion, but not without a bit of bloodshed first..,eh.The artwork is poor graphic novel style; I liked the scenes that were done in sketch work better than the stylized simplistic artwork that prevailed throughout the most of the movie. They call it flash animation but it was hardly animated.One episode of South park has more animation than the whole 12 hours or so of this movie and it's more realistic in the style.That all being said, this movie does stand up as a sci-fi kind of epic. The character developments are excellent and their interaction is well done especially the dynamic between Raimi and Oran. This was a grand experiment that the three creators conspired to. It is very geeky and was well received on the internet over the 3 or so years it unfolded. I suspect that this has a great deal to do with its current popularity; after all you don't follow a story, released piecemeal for 3 years, waiting eagerly from week to week to see the next segment, and then admit it wasn't worth the wait. The three creators, especially Brooke Burgess, are all waiting with their collective breaths held to see who will pick up their project and turn it into a movie or a TV series. They can taste the fortune. So much for altruism. With programming in this country (US) controlled by the likes of clear channel, it probably will be. For their sakes I hope that the writer and co-creators can keep their own vision intact, and not have to bow down to the almighty film industry and turn this into a more watered down and more preachy version.All in all this project was a success. I don't think it was deep and life changing as many would have you believe; but it was entertaining...it had to be to keep me entertained for the whole 12 or so hours.I recommend at least renting this story.

This is unlike anything I ever experienced. A new medium if you will. By the time you realize the depth of the story and characters it is too late for you too turn away. You will be hooked and changed forever. I have never felt compelled to write any words for a film or such but the fact that this production was done so under ( out of ) the Hollywood radar and succeeds on so many levels makes it a compelling success. Give it a shot. There is a darkness that holds this piece together in the beginning but it ultimately redeemed. Anyone feeling the pangs of coping in our auto-destruct, auto-pilot society will feel that they are not alone, indeed they have a friend and a voice who understands. The voice overs are brilliant .. try to pick out the Smoking Man from X-files. I would really love to experience this in theaters.. especially the ending in the cathedral.. check out the old flash web site for a taste I guess.. give yourself some time. This isn't a Hollywood adrenaline fix but rather the real deal Peace

This series whispers quietly in the back of your head long after you finish watching it. The series is beautiful and deeply thought provoking. It just might change the way you see the world forever.Seriously, it's that deep. I would advise those who watch the series to appreciate the slow pace of the series. There's much that is said through inferences, shadowy speech, and innumerable symbols so the slow pace allows you to study each word and facial expression carefully.If you go beneath the surface and scratch at the truth behind the story, it really could change you. Like the opening menus on the DVDs say, "What would you give to know the truth?"
