It's just funny that after watching 24 minutes of the movie (at a really phriggin small size) and C3PX says he wants to see the rest but won't because of a preconceived notion. This animation looks different on the big screen.


It has nothing to do with the "phriggin" small size or any preconceived notion. The animation really bugs me. And if it really does require a cinema sized screen for this movie to be enjoyable, then it will be a useless film once it hits DVD and is played on a "phriggin" small sized TV. And on a side note I think a movie should be enjoyable if you want people to watch it, unless you are some sort of masochist who defines entertainment by watching painful to watch crap (such as the Holiday Special or just about any film with Jim Carry in it).

It seems a lot of people agree with me that this style of animation is unpleasant to watch. I think I, and many others might just enjoy it and even find it to be an enjoyable retelling of a great Phillip K. Dick novel, if it would have been live action. I am very fond of Phillip K. Dick, and I think his works deserve much more attention and care than this. The guy writes a book about the futility of drugs, and they make a movie based off his book that you have to be high to enjoy. You have to admit, the film, as is, doesn't have that wide of an appeal. If it would have been live action it would have a much larger audiance. It is not any preconceived notion the keeps me from seeing this film, if I am ever in want of being annoyed for 60+ minutes, I will most certianly consider watching it.
