Sep. 29th, 2010 05:51 pmSaw it in 2-D (hate the glasses 3D requires): very nice. Yes, the story is complex and hard to follow, but if you just assume Good Owls vs Bad Owls + God-weapon, it's not hard to figure out. Elayne wants to read the books now (must try to borrow from Zor). Oh, and did I mention this film is gorgeous? Absolutely. Worth it for the eye candy alone.
I'm amused that the two animated films I've just seen are such opposites in complexity (on nearly all counts-- technical, story and character-wise). "Alpha and Omega" had an insipid, predictable plot with barely passable animation. Ironically, A&O probably nailed their target audience, while I'm still trying to figure out who, exactly, the GoG audience was supposed to be. Maybe it's the same one that Scott Pilgrim was targeting (ie, the practically non-existent animation-comic-nerd set).
