This looks really cool. I most likely will make a trek to the theater for it.

I love the style of animation used. It's got a semi-decent cast and it's set in my home town.

    Went and saw this last night. If you like Sci-Fi short stories, and obviously if you like Phillip K. Dick's short stories... you'll love this film. This film style is very interesting and could be a big deal to independent film maker types. I was excited as far as Sci-Fi films go because it is very easy to add "special effects" with this style, just hire an animator and have him/her drawn the scene you want and it fits seemlessly with the rest of the movie.

    I would definitely recommend seeing this movie at some point... rental or purchase, if you like real Sci-Fi, you'll enjoy the movie... I think some other reviews had already said this, but its the most honest movie adaptation of a Dick story yet, which isnt that hard, but still cool

    Good to hear, I've read other positive comments about it as well. I may try and sneak out to see it sometime this week, if not, a blind-buy for sure.
