The image quality and camera framing are not great, the camera is often way too close to the actors faces. Some shots where too short and had to be artificially slowed down and sometimes even looped backwards to lengthen the shot. At one point during a fight scene a very basic piece of music loops endlessly until it's impossible not to notice. In flashes the movie seems fine, but when you watch the complete product it feels unfinished and sloppy. An imperfect piece of art and history and luckily not something thats acceptable nowadays. The significance this movie has for digital filmmaking is overshadowed by the problems in it's cinematography.
