Even with the differences from the book and the fact that they combined two characters into one, I loved this film. top notch, really.

I love this movie, I had to do research about it to absorb it all, but I felt like the last hour is really crammed together as to try to twine the rest of the plot together. It effectively conveyed a hazy drugged feeling as the movie progressed with the lack of shifts/happenings scene by scene.

Yes, more loyal to PKD's vision than the other adaptations-but-not nearly enough to make it a good film because it omits one of the darkest segments of the book......Red Ford '79 Torino? Can of Drano? Local Police? Kimberly Hawkins? Personally, this was a vital part to the story's message. Disappointedly, my favorite part of the novel was snubbed. 7/10

A lot better than I was expecting, and visually it's very good. Definitely tops Waking Life in terms of Linklater's animated films, and also tops most other Dick adaptations in my opinion.

Linklater went to great pains to make this as true to the original as I believe he could. While the book itself is even funnier, darker and more suspenseful, the movie manages to capture the hauntingly surreal feeling most of PKD's work elicit.

Linklater has been heralded as an auteur emerging from the indie renaissance of the 1990s, a self-taught writer-director with inventive concepts that, like this film, sound better than they ultimately prove. I'm on the fence about this film and will hold any further criticism until I've watched it again but I must add that all the special effects and trickery in the world cannot replace a solid script. period.

loved the rotoscoping effect used in this film but also enjoyed the storyline I have to admit some of it was quite boring. but it was all worth while once it all came together. and here i thoguht it was just gonna be one of those films where it was all about the style and effects and barely none of the storyline.

Nothing compared to the genius of PKD's book. 'What does a scanner see? he asked himself. I mean, really see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does a passive infrared scanner like they used to use or a cube-type holo-scanner like they use these days, the latest thing, see into me - into us - clearly or darkly? I hope it does, he thought, see clearly, because I can't any longer these days see into myself.'

If Linklater, Reeves, Downey Jr. etc. took a dose of LSD and made a paranoia movie.

Para além do argumento estar quase idêntico ao livro do K.Dick, as técnicas de animação e os actores dão vida a esta fabulosa e deprimente realidade alternativa.

I really like Richard Linklater, and I thought this was a good film. It's not a horrible film, but it has it's flaws like all films. The story is a little convoluted, but if you can understand 1984 you can understand the plot. Ovverall a bad LSD trip.
