Review:
	There's a bunch of stuff to talk about in this movie so I'll start from the
beginning and work my way up, since I'm just in that kind of a mood. There are of course
opening credits, which appear and disappear in a rather neato fashion - bits @ a time. I
should say that I was a test viewer for the movie and that was one of my suggestions that
was used in this movie. So, some of that credit goes to me. HAW!
	The story begins with some kids going to school in what a little bit of text on the
screen calls, "the past, present, and future" whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean...
The main kid goes to class and during class one chick says she didn't do her homework
because of some personal political reason. "It offended her," she said. Well, the main kid,
being a sort of Randal from Clerks type (the witty know it all who always has an answer to
what everyone else is doing wrong & how they should resolve it) tells her she's just making
up excuses and so on. It's kind of a clever little scene and from there we go on to some
other things where the girl goes to her Dad, complaining like lots of stupid kids would...
I thought this part of the story was a really cool idea, since like I just said, people
would do that.
	One thing I'm happy about in this film is that it's got a few of those "realistic"
things - things people would do. That just shows me that, even though I'll tell you right
now this movie wasn't at all a great movie, (that even if this is the worst movie this year)
it still shows us that we're beyond simple action joe types of movies. Imagine if this movie
came out a few years back, it'd rule. We've come a ways and I just thought that was worth
noting.
	The voice acting in this was pretty lame, all of the characters had no character,
except for one line by the main character where he says, "thank you Trent Reznor." I thought
that line was worth a chuckle. It was funny says me. The voices were kind of low in volume,
too and I know this since the music was definitely loud enough in the opening credits that I
almost didn't want to turn my speakers up to hear the voices.
	I had what one might say is the almost pleasure of being able to see this movie
before it was released, but still in a pretty complete stage. I had many suggestions, one of
which I mentioned earlier, was the opening credits. While we were talking about voices it
seemed right to mention that in the "work in progress" of this movie, I got to read some of
the dialogue in Text and I really thought that some of the text in the work in progress was
more interesting than the actual voices. For instance, when a black guy who calls everyone
a Fag or a Homo (or something of that nature) "yells" into a crowd of Marilyn Manson concert
goers he kind of whispers it... In the text he was supposed to yell. I knwo this because I
remember it being in caps and of course he's at a concert so he has to yell, the music is
loud. This was just poor casting on Blake Walker's part.
	Actually, if the acting was amazingly better it probably wouldn't have made much of
a better movie but it was still something I wanted to touch on. Speaking of that black guy
who yells into a crowd, I had a wonderful comedic suggestion of having him being yanked into
the crowd and stomped on and that would be the end of the irritating guy who calls everyone
a fag. I thought that was a brilliant idea by me, don't you think? Well, Blake decided to go
the dumb route and I won't spoil it for you if you really care but it was extremely lame to
say the least and if you have any taste you'll agree. If you don't agree, don't argue, you
don't have any taste for a good script. BUT I still hold my opinion that the idea that this
movie HAS a story made me happy... not that the story is any good, it's just that I was
happy it had one... don't ask me why, lot's of movies nowadays do... I guess it's hip.
	Another piece of the story I thought was extremely stupid was what I was told was a
"Dream" scene. In it, the main character (the one with the witticism @ the beginning of the
film) falls asleep and has a wacky dream where's he doing weird stretching and flying and
crap... It was extremely stupid and made no sense. After I had watched the movie once, Blake
tried to point out that he was "growing emotionally" and "evolving" but I gotta tell you,
I don't see what the fuck the kid did afterwards that showed that fact. He eventually saved
the day by accidentally walking next to a building with his dark as night friend and
overheard the "bad guys" plans. Btw, when I say bad guys I don't mean like action movie bad
guys. They're some religious dudes who wanna get rid of all the people who aren't them.
That counts as bad, doesn't it?
	Now that I've written a book on this movie, on every single topic I can think of
without watching the movie again then I'll just end with this: I think I'm going to go watch
The Afterlife or By the Waters of Babylon.

P.S. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY THE FUCK THE KID FLIES OFF IN THE END?! WTF?!


Story:		6/10  
Animation:	3/10 
Scenery:	4/10
Voices:		4/10
Music:		7/10
Total:		24/50


The Movies Highs:
*Interesting Premise... @ first.
*Music is halfway decent.

The Movies Lows:
*Story gets fruity near middle to end
*Crap Scenery and a little below Average Animation
*Voices were HORRIBLE; I'd have rather had text boxes


Bottom Line:
	It showed some promise but it just went off the edge with a terrible ending and some
pretty screwed up messages that I just didn't get.
