Movie Reviews of Flatland the Film
Movie Review: all show and no tell
Summary: 2 Stars
Nice visuals, poor vocals.
Too bad, this sucks out most
of the drama.
The bizarre intro music alerts
the viewer to prepare for something
uneven.
Movie Review: Goofy and hard to watch
Summary: 2 Stars
I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't this. It had the annoying tone of a Saturday morning cartoon.Movie Review: Disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased both this DVD and Flatland the Movie with Martin Sheen and other well known actors doing the vocals. The other movie (the one with Martin Sheen) is far superior.
This film stretches out the plot to the point where my wife fell asleep and I had to watch it over 2 days. The female voices are annoyingly screeching and the female characters are portrayed in an offensive misogynistic manner.
I know that filmmakers take liberties with the plot of books turned into films but this one does so in nonsensical ways that really distort the fantastic meaning of Edwin Abbot's classic novel, which is really sad because the graphics in this production are quite good and the book Flatland is a perfect idea for a movie.
I highly recommend that you buy the other movie Flatland (the one with Martin Sheen).

Movie Review: Disturbing
Summary: 1 Stars
Started watching the film and had to stop. I thought its treatment of females, subservient creatures with shrill piercing voices, was added by the filmmaker. Pulled the book off the shelf and started reading and found it's all from the book! Which is gratuitously contemptuous of women who are called the Frail Sex that are "wholly devoid of brainpower." And a whole lot of other put-downs.
The film follows the book closely, and both are badly flawed. Which is a shame since I've always treasured the book for its explanation of other dimensions. I wish someone would take this concept and write a totally different story line.
Movie Review: Oh my - don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
OK, I liked the book and I enjoyed the other version of (Flatland:the movie) - but this one (the film) was just too strange.
The story was fractured, the graphics were amateurish, and the animation was full of pauses that left you wondering if they just couldn't render the frames fast enough.
Oh my what a waste - don't bother buying this one - you can have mine...
