Since Tykho Moon, I was impatient to see the next 'oeuvre' from Bilal. I particularly like his comics, and 'La trilogie Nikopol' was the one I liked the best. I saw the movie yesterday and well, I'm not quite sure what to think on the overall ... Some of it is really good, some is approximative, sort of unfinished ... Sure, there are plenty of computer-generated characters moving smoothly, crossing real actors on the set, nicely done. Yet I couldn't stop asking myself: "why not real people ? Did they run short of funds ? " After the movie I was still puzzled, was it a showroom for digital image technology ? As if a particularly talented child had been able to use for a while a set of state-of-the-art machinery to provide us with an unmature sequence of random images ... Yes it's almost verbatim the original scenario but something has been lost on the way. Even if some new elements have been added. I saw something amazing but it's not quite what I was (and still am) expecting from Bilal. I say let's wait for his next movie. 8 out of 10
