"Renaissance" must have sounded great on paper: a black-and-white animated film noir set in Paris of the future and featuring a stunning new method of CGI animation. But "Renaissance" as a film fails as much as it succeeds. Yes, the animation is stunning and the voice-over actors — Daniel Craig especially — deliver competent performances. However, the animation is so stunning that it detracts from the story. The blacks are too black, blending background and character alike, while the whites are so over-saturated that human emotion is nearly impossible. You'll find that you miss so much while your eyes try to decipher the world of "Renaissance" that you miss most of the story. Let's remember: animation is meant to supplement, not overpower or eliminate, the plot. Thanks for reading. If you found this review helpful, vote "Yes" at the bottom of this entry. Happy watching!Read full review
amazing truly amazing animé, all in black and white, an european creation, daniel craig (James Bond) voice as the main character.
Very stylish movie with a great plot, and characters voiced by Daniel Craig (the newest James Bond) and others. I also like the DVD extras, explaining the creative process behind the creation of this film.
