This was one of the most visually stunning animated features I've ever seen. Unfortunately, the plot was nonexistent and the dialogue was cribbed from every noir film ever made. Some might look upon this as an homage, however, but I thought it was just laziness on the part of the screenwriter(s). Even if one doesn't have a background in film noir, it's difficult to take the hackneyed/trite plot/dialogue seriously since the writer(s) used up one noir cliché after another.
Ultimately, 'Renaissance' is visual masturbation. The animation was choppy at times, but the overall effect was breathtaking: reflections, transparencies, etc.
I highly recommend this for any action or anime aficionados, as that audience is typically more forgiving and able to concentrate more on the important things in these types of films, such as fight scenes and FX wizardry.
