Ratings and reviews

The absolute best movie ever made. So artistic! So thorough. So interesting. Sure, there are a few mistakes here and there but no other movie I am aware of brings so many things together into one movie with such thoroughness and artistic beauty on so many levels. It's safe to say I am a fan. :)

This isn't a movie for everyone, there are plot flaws you can pick apart. But I love the imagery & world that's based off the french comic artist's vision. Soundtrack is amazing.

Not only can I watch this movie over and over, but the story and originality of it all is always something new and fresh. I guarantee that not only will anyone find something new and intriguing from it, they'll find a spot for it among their faves in sci Fi.
