The animation, design, visual styling and storytelling are all great here. The music is serviceable but rarely matches the highs and lows of the narrative, coming off ineffective and monotonous.
Nova Seed is a great sci-fi adventure film that feels, purposely it seems, like a throwback to the adult sci-fi/fantasy animation craze of the late 70's and early 80's. Mr.
This film isn't about the story. As another reviewer said, this film is all about creating a feeling, an atmosphere.
One minute into watching this movie my patience was being tested. Ten minutes in, I was hooked.
Watching it was not just a bit like a dream. Artistically a bit surreal (mostly thanks to the old fashioned hand made animation) story about all the important things in this genre.
I just watched this movie and... I'm not even sure what to say.
'Nova Seed.' Er, where do I begin?
