DVD Reviews of Flatland the Film
DVD 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.DVD Review: Go with the book
Summary: 3 Stars
I remember reading Flatland as a kid and I thought it was cool to think about all the different dimensions. I was excited to see that someone undertook to film it. Granted Mr. Ehlinger did this as a one-man show and I give him a lot of credit. I liked the imagery and the colorful world he created and he captured the story well. I wish the women's "peace cries" weren't as annoying as the book portrayed them and there weren't as much bloodshed and the story stalled at times, but if he had a larger budget he'd have accomplished much more. So "A" for effort, "C" for delivery.DVD Review: As disappointing as the Movie
Summary: 2 Stars
Like Flatland the Movie, the Film is also disappointing. It is not as slick as the Movie; it is more experimental and less conservative. But it's far too long and it is often tedious. And as far as content goes, it is as unoriginal as the Movie. DVD 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...
DVD Review: Flatland the Film
Summary: 5 Stars
Flatland the Film Excellent Film! Way better than the higher priced Flatland: The Movie which is way shorter in length, with a more crude story line.
Description of Flatland the Film
Ladd Ehlinger Jr.s feature length animated adaptation of Edwin Abbott's 1884 "Flatland." Screenwriter: Tom Whalen. Composer: Mark Slater. DVD-R Format. With penetrating satire, Flatland the Film takes us on a mind-expanding dimensional journey through an animated adaptation of Abbots 19th century novel. A Square, Attorney-at-Law, inhabits a world that is flat and two-dimensional. Together with his wife Frau A Square, he tries to raise his children -5 pentagons and A Hexagon- as best he can in a rigid society governed by tyrannical triangles and pompous priest circles. It is three days until the much anticipated year 3000 in the Southern Republic of Flatland and A Square has a job to do. He must meet with his latest client, A Line, the first female Flatlander to be arrested for the taboo practice of Chromatism - the act of coloring ones sides in order to resemble a higher class of geometrical figure. During this meeting an entire rebellion of Chromatists is launched, and A Square must shield his family from the horrors of urban Flatlander war. Within this turmoil, a mysterious visitor from the third dimension arrives: A Sphere, CEO of Messiah, Inc. Flatlanders, according to A Sphere, must learn that there is another dimension called height. A Square must spread the word as his Apostle of the Three Dimensions. But having been flat his entire life, A Square is unable to comprehend these three dimensions. Out of desperation, A Sphere pulls A Square out of Flatland altogether to show him the true nature of Spaceland, and the universe. And in so doing, he risks the very fabric of space-time itself, potentially destroying all of creation. Will A Square make it home to Flatland? Will he be able to understand the Third Dimension? Will he be able to spread the gospel of the Third Dimension to his fellow Flatlanders - or will he be executed for blasphemy? The answers to these questions and more are to be found in Flatland the Film!Genres DVDs
