Review

Funny, creepy and brutal stop motion animation film with interesting plot.

Humanity is in danger without ability to reproduce. Protagonist of the story goes down to earth since there is rumors that there is living creatures that can reproduce somehow. Down on the reunions lives lots of creepy creatures and many of those wants to kill everything they see.

Story is interesting and it thinks about themes of humanity itself. Protagonist have lived basic life where there is virtual reality and new techonlogy around him. Still he feels more alive down where his life is in danger.

Do we, as a human, really appreciate life without meaning and purpose, or is the meaningful life only what we really are looking for? If we can live forever but all what we do is meaningless virtual realities without sense of living, is that really living?

This movie have some kind of philosphical aspects behind its humorous and time to time quite brutal shell. Music choices of this movie were top notch.

Visual style is enjoyable and action scenes were great.

In the end this movie was totally worth watching. If has humour, action and interesting philosphical story about the humanity and meaning of life itself.
