If you're a sucker for black-and-white animation, film noir and science-fiction in one package, have a look at this visually arresting pic.
The images are a marvel to behold, which cannot be said about the either too lacklustre or too campy English voice-over work by some well-known actors.
The story's another matter: The characters are stereotypes which isn't too bad as the plot proves to be an eclectic mixture of detective movie and sci-fi pulp clichés, told in a fast-paced manner, along with some existential pretensions.
But the sheer beauty of it all is a good enough reason to embrace this pic.
