A good movie

I already saw this movie but since it was such a long time ago and since I had it on DVD, I was quite eager to check it out again. First of all, I have always been a huge fan of the Nikopol trilogy so this movie was pretty much a must-see for me but I strongly advise to read the comic-books first to have a better grip on the story which can be pretty challenging. Concerning the visuals, even though they were quite amazing when I first  saw this movie about 10 years ago, I have to admit that they didn't grow old very well. Furthermore, I think it was a mistake to have only  a handful of characters played by some real actors and the rest CGI animated. Indeed, they should have chosen one way or the other as this mix turned out to be rather awkward. Still, as far as I’m concerned, the whole thing remained quite fascinating to behold and I especially loved the story of Horus coming down to Earth to break havoc. Anyway, to conclude, it is probably not the easiest science-fiction flick to watch but I still have a weak spot for the damned thing and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre or if you are interested in Enki Bilal’s work.
