Unwatchable...
By Mark Finlayson from East Lothian, UK , 05 Apr 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
...and I don't just mean that I didn't like it. The digital effect that has been applied to the whole film is very hard on the eye - it's like watching a badly made cartoon. I might have persisted if the plot had grabbed my attention, but it didn't.- Was this review helpful to you?

(226)Graphically Unneccesary
By Cato (705 reviews) from Lydbury North , 07 Jan 2013Couldn't really understand why they'd gone to all the trouble of painting over the film. Presumably because they wanted to make it look more like a comic, but it seemed unneccesary to me. The story's pretty weirdly cultish, all about a drug in the not too distant future. Made for the younger set i think.- Was this review helpful to you?

hard to follow, but worth thr watch
By sh34rs (2 reviews) , 30 Jul 2012Great movie. I have watched this several times now.
The style of animation is different. That dies take some getting used to. The story can be a bit hard to follow if you are not paying full attention.
Most definitely worth the watch!- Was this review helpful to you?

annoying, boring, extremely dull!!!
By haylesbaylespigstales (130 reviews) from Fleetwood , 30 Jul 2012what an awful film!!! has definately made my top 10 worst films of all time - felt like taking that drug just to escape the utter rubbishness of this film.
thought that it could have been a 'short' rather than a 90 minutes dragged out mess that it turned out to be. I'm normally really open to different films & although I'd read most of the reviews about this film I stuck with it to the end before making a decision.- Was this review helpful to you?

The only way to watch Dick, Phillip K that is...
By Loner (2 reviews) , 02 Feb 2012i saw this film at the cinema and didnt really get it or enjoy it, but then watched it again at home and found the style and pace just spot on. Its a film you forget yourself in and remember for a long time after.
Stylistically its a massive step beyond what linklater did with waking life and possibly the only way you can take on some of phillip k dick's work.
You really feel for Keanu's character and his lost sense of self.
if you're interested in narcotics, scifi or new cinematic forms give this film a go.- Was this review helpful to you?

Inspired me to buy the book!
By Squinky (4 reviews) , 26 Jan 2012This film has a very intriguing story line with good twists, a very dark undertone and some great humour that runs right until the end.
The animation is not really in a style i like (looks like cell shading over real acting) but it's still good enough not to lose it's atmosphere.
Plus Robert Downey JR is in it.- Was this review helpful to you?
