      Onoblingo A The cinematic equivalent of a turd. A very very weird and upsetting turd. A turd de force. Watch it only if you enjoy watching turds. This movie is a turd. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Strange and drab animated feature that just doesn't have enough of an original story to allow it's unique animation style shine. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Awesome depiction of hearing voices and voice of god. Brilliant! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/19/19 Full Review Audience Member A new kind of animation and probably the only kind to exist. A very unique Scandinavian-English language film from the technical aspect. The only one kind in the whole world which is actually an experimental product from the new productions. It was made primarily using photoshop, and then adobe after effects for animation. If you're wondering what kind it is, actually a 2.5D animation, that means it is neither 2D or 3D, but between those two. Like tricking the 2D object as the 3D material. Well they have succeeded to bring a visually impressive animation that mainly focused on the film character faces. The story was decent which is another dystopian concept where metro trains are the main content, hence it is called 'Metropia'. But the title also means 'visual refraction', that's what the story is slightly related too. Anyway, it was very suspenseful till the final and mostly talking drama than physical action sequences. At some point I felt it was like the recent stop-motion animation 'Anomalisa', but realised that I predicted wrong and the story travelled in a different path to end decently. Though the overall film was very impressive from both technical and narrative wise. One must not miss it, just for a its rare kind, especially you like animations, but best suitable for adults. 7/10 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Intriguing visual style and slightly bonkers dystopian plot. The pace is a bit slow and the characters can feel a bit dull, but still worthwhile. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Metropia is a film where the sum of the parts is greater than the whole. The film's animation is fascinating and the voice acting is engaging. The setting and premise should please fans of a good dystopian or conspiracy film. The plot does not pan out in a satisfying way, unfortunately. But still, there are enough upsides to Metropia to make it an easy uprate.

      Perri Nemiroff CinemaBlend Sinister fantasy enthusiasts will revel in Saleh's bold effort, but for the rest, there's little enjoyment to be had. Rated: 2/5 Aug 13, 2010 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Technically innovative but narratively moribund. Rated: 2.5/5 May 12, 2010 Full Review Jason Bailey DVDTalk.com Rated: 3/5 May 12, 2010 Full Review Simon Foster sbs.com.au Metropia treads a well-worn Orwellian path (see: Brazil, 1985) but Tarik Saleh's debut compensates for the lack of narrative invention with stunning visuals.
