| User ReviewJaylene TI loved this movie! The book was great, and this movie was really fun to watch. Like Isaac Asimov says in the ForewordA "The best introduction one can find into the manner of perceiving dimensions." |
| User ReviewPrivate UThe animation may not be great, but the movie is amazing. The depth of the story in terms of philosophy, metaphor, allegory, science, everything. This is one brilliant film, the kind you almost never see. |
| User ReviewAmani BA brilliant manifesto on perception, truth, the human condition (or rather "conditioning") and reality. People who didn't like it - didn't get it. A must see for any age. (The book is a must of course.) |
| User ReviewJames SBrilliant. An excellent introduction to three-dimensions and extremely well done for a low-budget independent animation. |
| User ReviewCharles SNot quite the book(B-), but in the purpose of explaining hypergeometry and thinking outside the box, (A+) |
| User ReviewKapetan Sodlican i originalan animirani film, ostavit ce vas da razmisljate dugo nakon sto je gotov |
| User ReviewDancy PAwesome! From what I'm reading, many people hate the low budget animation but it works in their world. I like the philosophy behind it, the politics, I liked it all! For a low budget animation, it was executed awesomely! |
| User ReviewLuke JSmart and quirky. From such a strange plot line came a pleasant film. |
| User ReviewColin DA very unique film it has a very neat style with some great writing and solid pacing. Its 2D animation works unbelievably well while the 3D is a bit cluttered and lacking textures. But don't let that bring you down because Flatland is very unappreciated and deserves more attention. 8/10 |
| User ReviewMatthew COK. The animation's OK, the cast's OK. The music is odd - stylistically interesting but very, very fake. Having said that it's very much an indie film and so deserves a little kudos for what it does do on such a low budget. |
