Oaklee D @ODie63 Jun 21 I loved it, the DIY animation style was very charming and the story gripped me. One of the rare films that I wish would get a big budget remake. Well worth the watch. See more dekkubo b @Dekkuboo May 27 Great concept with the no voice acting and relying on visuals/ sound. But kinda exacuted poorly. You would have thought that the main character would be be more expressive/ animated especially in the face, since there is no voice acting. But it's just a blank stare See more Michael C Feb 25 When "nothing" was happening, I was still riveted to the story. A flight of imagination translated into marvelous imagery.

And there's no way to flag the reviews as being for the wrong movie... Actual review: 4 stars. It's amazing it was made by only one person. No textures, no rendering, very minimalistic animation and music, but it still manages to construct haunting images and a compelling narrative.

The score is excellent, a true character of the film itself, and a testament to the multi-talented one-man-show that is Gints Zilbalodis. Put your phone far away, give this dream-like sequence your undivided attention, and be transported. See more David R 04/08/2024 Interesting animated film which is almost a silent movie because it has no dialogue. It is sort of an adventure tale of a young boy who parachutes onto a strange island and is followed by a giant who pursues him. He be friends a small fledgling bird, and they go on a journey to the far end of the island where perhaps civilization exists riding a motorcycle and a map mysteriously left for him. It is very mysterious and self interpretative. Do not expect anything to be spelled out for you. You might be greatly disappointed if you expect a movie to have a full explanation. At times the animation looks very good, and other times it has a very unfinished quality to it like computer game graphics. Characters have solid blocks of color with very little shading or details. It is worth seeing but it is probably not for everyone. See more Read all reviews
