2nd movie thing
16/8/2008
That animated Star Wars movie really got its ass kicked by the critics. I haven’t seen the movie so I can’t comment on it, but the trailer left me feeling very perturbed. I mean, you have an epic Hollywood sci-fi adventure story rendered in anime style computer graphics with sharp angles and distorted proportions. It just looks wrong.
I’m sure they were trying to capture the feel of the TV show, but they’re missing the point. TV cartoons are made on the cheap. The flat, angular, cell-shaded visuals are a necessity. Why you’d want to keep that in a feature movie is a bit beyond me, but like I said I haven’t seen it yet.
