If you only look at the quality of the graphics and nothing else, then this short animated film probably won't impress you. That's because in this time of ever-improving computer graphics, we are coming to expect more and more from CG films and this one looks almost like a video game from a decade ago with live film inserted into it. It isn't bad looking, exactly, but there are many, many Hollywood productions (especially FLYBOYS) which are light-years ahead.
However, if you do only compulse over the animation, then you really are missing the point. Despite a thin budget, the film is very high on "the cool factor". The story about a WWI German ace who is bored and looking for a challenge is well written but especially well narrated. The narration (in German) sounds so perfect for the film--so menacing and cold. The voice and dialog really work well and sure kept my attention. So much so that I would love to see what these people could do if they had a real budget--one that would better complement the film.
FYI--It didn't bother me, but being a history teacher and airplane nut, the big battle in the film could NOT have happened like it did, as WWI planes had a very limited supply of ammo and long battles simply weren't possible. Many planes ran out after 30-60 seconds of firing.
