Crazy. Amazing. Retro and Funny.

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2011)

This movie really deserves to be watched at least twice to appreciate it even more. I'm glad I'd never heard of this movie because it didn't give me any prejudice. I saw a preview and thought "that looks silly" which is probably why it didn't do well at the Box Office. First of all, this is visual art at its' best. For a movie buff, this movie highlights some really creative approaches to telling a story in a nutty but entertaining manner. Secondly, many of the retro sounds, characters and effects were an enjoyable throw back to my childhood with remnants of Donkey Kong, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Mario Brothers and more. The pace varies between mostly fast and brief tidbits of slow which made a mockery of typical film presentation and this was a bonus.
Overall, this is unique, visually impressive, presses retro buttons, heaps of fun and I've got to say, musically rocks.
