hey you guys should all check this movie out. Its absolutely insanely done. Basically, just go get the dvd and see it. Perferably on a large screen because it has amazing special effects. Its not an action movie, its like a ....
just see it, you guys will like it.
very trippy and .... what the fuck type of movie, that all makes sense in the end and has a good story and morals relating to real life.

ya i watched this last night from 1am to 3 on the largest flat screen tv ive ever sat in front of in not a public place. It was crazy.
Id recommend not really even reading reviews or seeing anything about the movie becuase it may spoil some of the sutff.
Its the only movie that works computer animation so damn well with real life, its just an amazing blend. SOmetimes i felt like i was tripping.
also what is nice is this movie makes perfect sense in the end. As much as it may seem like its all just absoluteley retarded. Everything has its place.

lol, i had this movie from netflix for about a month. I love neil gaiman, but i never got around to watching it. So i just sent it back to grab some new films, guess i should have thrown it in.

I saw it a couple of months ago. It was a truly awesome movie, especially the visuals of it. Kind of a modern day Labyrinth meets Alice in Wonderland.

Torrent, ofcourse I recommend buying the DVD to support the makers, but you should probably wait untill the HD-DVD version comes out.

I didn't really like the ending, but the visual effects were pretty cool.

i think the ending makes perfect sense and its very good. It can be related to a youthfull life or our own ones.

The special effects were done by (the late) Jim Henson's production crew, yeah? Or was it Frank Oz's? Either way, cool flick. I need to see it again. I kinda lost some of its meaning between blasts of nitrous... :/

The reason I didn't like it was that it got kind of silly, I don't want to spoil it, so I wont get into all the details, but given the first half of the movie I think their could have been better directions to take the movie in.

K, I have time to actually comment now. This movie is fantasic visually and aurally. Lots of weird, trippy, perspective twisting visuals and lots of odd ambient and off-camera sound effects. The second time I watched this while fishing the nitrous and that was quite an experience. Though I do recommend watching it at least once while sober. The plot is a little thin but it is sufficient to carry the movie along and is more of an allegory than a story.

the special effects were actually done by first year graduates of special effects schools (for lack of a better word). the director gave them each their own scene and let them pretty much do their own thing. of course he would stop in to supervise to make sure they all fit together, but for the most part they had free reign. the whole film had a bunch of cool shit like this, which makes me like it that much more.
/i listen to alot of commentaries

well its not really that fantasy because it happens in a dream. I mean if this was real it would be, but its just there to explain stuff about life.
