My rating: 7.5/10

Will I watch it again?  Nah.

Damn fine science fiction.  The animation style of rotoscoping was a brilliant decision.  It adds to the story in a way that live action couldn't do.  The performances are great and the script is intelligent and funny.  Nice score, too, Graham Reynolds!  I was engaged from the beginning and the ending had me by the short and curlies.  It's a real thinking man's flick and Linklater and pals did an excellent job all the way around.  Not much to say about this one except I really dug it.  Reeves can be hit and miss. Here, he hits.
