every second of the film be gorgeous . and that why it earn a 7 and because the plot be not especially devious and and think back over the last 90 minute i never really felt any excitement or investment in the character . if anything and the luxurious graphic and frame have make certain scene ( the car chase and for instance ) more pedestrian than they ought to be not that they do not look lovely and have some very original design and occasionally novel camera angle but they be miss the kinetic movement and close up shot that be part of the language for any normal action or thriller . the first hour plod along and and the dialogue feel very edit and a bit stagey people wait for each other to finish and do not always react in a natural cadence and which would be a problem of record each individual dialogue separately . on rare occasion the emotion in the voice do not quite match those on screen while something that should really have be avoid . the futuristic architecture be very attractive ( lot of glass wall or ceiling or screen and lovely smoke or mirage or special effect ) and nice look car and but again it more an exercise in graphic design and have no real impact on the story . i would argue that the whole point of use draw animation ( instead of actor or cgi ) be to really push the limit of imagination and design while to do that which be too difficult or impractical in other medium . although the animation in renaissance be certainly stunning and incredibly well accomplished and i never felt like i be see something that hasn not be do before . immortel and another french cgi film and also suffers from an imbalance of beauty over story and pace . to be fair and some marvellous and engage french movie also have a languid pace and and linger shot of the look in someone eye or the rain on paris cobble can evoke great emotion but animator need to understand that while animation brings unique strength and it also have weakness when compare to real life technique . perhaps it would break from the noir rule that the film want to stick to and but i think the film maker also miss a glaring opportunity to explore their future society a bit more the social stratum and the fascistic grip of the corporation etc . i have no problem recommend renaissance to anybody who enjoy stylistic design and or or animation ( manga fan in particular ) and but i wouldn not make my other film love friend sit through it . take away the sumptuous visuals and it a barely average film .
