RENAISSANCE

Every now and then you find movies that beg to differ from the pattern. They start a new genre all together, and redefine the ways the movie experiences are meant to be.

This movie is not one among those. It is their grand daddy!

 This movie changes the way people perceive when they watch something. The art work is godly and the ways the motions have been conceptualized and eventually implemented are mind blowing. Take it from me, you will not pause the movie to do something else during the movie. You just cannot. But you may pause, a large number of times, to appreciate the art, to appreciate the way the sequences have been put together, to appreciate every inch of black and every half inch of white. And you will definitely pause, to stop, and stare at the screen in awe.

  I might have made it sound like I was doing a piece as if I was Pablo Francisco. But this movie definitely deserves and calls for all the attention.

  And when I say that, I say that out of experience. I had not slept properly the previous night, and it was already 12 midnight when I decided to try this movie, and my eyes were totally weary. For the next one hour forty minutes, I could barely blink.


Don't be confused by the poster that it is just some movie of 1960's, this movie was released in 2006 and as a matter of fact Renaissance took six years to complete on a budget of 15 million dollars.


 As an aside, the plot gives you the feel of a regular sci fi, but everything else just steals the show. So the plot eventually does not matter.

  A user comment on IMDB -
''First things first, this movie is achingly beautiful. A someone who works on 3D CG films as a lighter/compositor, the visuals blew me away. Every second I was stunned by what was on screen.''

Watch the trailer if you have the time right now -

   Unfortunately, I do not see these kind of movies coming to Indian screens any time. So if you want to watch it, get a DVD and make sure that you watch it on a really nice screen and really good speakers. It was my luck that i saw this movie in a movie library while randomly surfing through the contents there & what particularly caught my attention was its cover & title so just thought of giving it try, who says you cant judge a book  or movie by its cover, as a matter of fact sometimes you can. TRUST me, you will find it worth your time.
