Transformation

A great teamwork between pictures and music. The story drew me in and I found the movie to be really good Actually. An intense plot with surprises. Certainly AI and where and how to use it is worthy discussing, but I felt thoroughly entertained. AI is able to entertain if controlled by someone knowing what to do. I enjoyed the picture building, loved the flow that made watching easy. The audio was gifted, like it danced with the picture part. When the picture is bold, the music retreats, when the music gets bold, picture level is quiet. Looking forward to More from Marcel Barsotti. Both in movies and scores.

In the last time I saw several of artificial intelligence movies, most of that in a good quality. But here I like very much the story about evolution and aliens. Particularly i love the look and the strong colours of this science fiction. Maybe a good short to realize sometime in a feature movie. And it's amazing what happens in the world of artificial intelligence movies. Transformation for me is a masterpiece. At first I like the plot about the Drakzukls, who are searching for a new planet. And than they arrived with an amazing armada of space ships. Also the look of the Drakzuls, completely in red colours and masks of metal is very cool! And the Androids world in green and the future world in yellow colours are very stylish! The whole movie is like a very fast big trailer, that's give the story a fast and emotional impact. I hope that the director continues to make other movies. For his first work this movie is really amazing.

I saw the film at a Chinese festival; a friend recommended it to me. I think the film is so cool. All the colors in the worlds and the powerful message about the survival of humanity. Let's be honest, we don't stand a chance if aliens come, right? I was really impressed by the film and hope to see more from this director, Barsotti!

Watched this at a french film festival and the entire audience booed. It's frankly an insult to the 27 other film makers to be in competition with something made with prompts and no technical skill whatsover. The 28th slot of the festival should had been granted to a real film, and not whatever the hell was that thing.

The film industry needs regulation on what is considered film, and how ethical something that is made by the pillaging of other's work and the destruction of the environment can even be considered a movie.

Plus, to what end? It doesn't say anything new, the script is just a toned down version of every dystopian sci-fi that ever crossed your path. This is useless, this is insulting and everyone involved in it should be ashamed. At least I'm happy that the audience of the festival hated it as well.
