Review of A Scanner Darkly (2006) by Alexander W — 11 May 2010

I wouldn't get too bogged down in the fact its a sci fi or based in the future because apart from one story hook and plot line. There is very little to give the impression of a futuristic movie. The element which you can argue about is the layers of animation (I don't know what type of animation this is either) but the whole way through you are watching a very surreal yet very down to earth approach to ordinary peoples lives in a drastic build up to an ending.

Worth viewing! I likef Robert Downey Jr a lot in this movie yet Keanu Reeves scrapes through with another almost identical character from his previous movies and still remains the "Ted" we all still love.
