Synopsis

In the near future, oil reserves are nearly depleted and Europe is connected by series of underground tunnels. While navigating these tunnels, Roger hears voices, one in particular. Seeking a way to rid himself of the voice only leads Roger deeper into a bizarre conspiracy of control – mind and body. —IMDb

Great Idea, great production ... the resolution a little bit off what I felt the story was, but still a good movie.

The animation, apart from phrases not matching up with the mouths, was great. It felt like a more original idea. I really enjoyed the storyline of the movie, I thought there could have been possibly more to it, however. The main thing that bugged me about the film was the very slow pace at which it moved. Even in situations that seemed more intense it felt very slow.

some serious potential, but I guess there wasn't enough of Stig Larsson in there!

An ugly, dreary bore of which any intellect it has is only skin deep. It also goes against everything that makes animation great in the first place.
