Paris, 2054. In a labyrinthine metropolis where every deed and gesture is checked and filmed, Ilona Tasuiev, a young scientist envied by all for her beauty and intelligence, is kidnapped. Avalon, the megalithic corporation that Ilona works for, puts pressure on Karas, a controversial policeman specialising in abductions, to find her as quickly as possible. But Karas soon feels a presence in his wake. He isn’t alone in the quest for Ilona, and his pursuers seem poised to overtake him. Finding Ilona becomes vital: the brilliant young woman is involved in a conspiracy which is bigger than any imaginable. She holds the key to a secret that puts humanity’s future in question: The Renaissance Protocol...

This is described as animated, that may be the correct term , but this picture is far from "animated"!
The storyline is apallingly unoriginal. There is some very clever artwork. As a charcoal and graphite artist I should have found this film appealing. Instead I found it flat and valueless in it's unrelenting use of solid black and white, with very little mid tones.

I was almost put off by the negative member reviews until I realised that these people did not like anime films

Gave this a good go but just not my cup of tea. Impressive animation but does become a bit monotonous after a while and the voice over artists/actors really let things down. Only got through half the movie.

impressive animation, very different to anything youve seen in that genre, very modern and very cool, its a film that you could watch many times and discover something new

"Renaissance" was one of the worst movies I have ever tried to watch (only lasted 10 minutes). I am only sorry I didn't take notice of the reviews that others had written.

Only watched enough to realise that I hadn't read the description properly. I'm not into "anime" and didn't actually watch it.
Henk
says
Didn't expect "drawings" (anime?) or cartoons, let alone in black
Tom C.
says
Dreadful script, every cliche under the sun, dodgy computer grahics, appalling animation.
Peter G.
says
Watch the first 3 minutes and could not even get into the story line. Its all animated in black and white. Un-enjoyable to even watch for a short while. Discarded the movie without even watching it

worst movie I've ever seen

says
Fragmented. Poorly photgraphed and hard to comprehend. 10 minutes was enough for me.
Kerry B.
says
was not wrapped in this one
Chris D.
says
Exquisite noir cgi, a decent plot and a depth that would normally be a tv series rather than a single film. Betrayal, deceit, high-tech fisticuffs and philosophy, its pretty spank.

Definatly different, and definatly something i wasn't expecting. Although it is very hard to follow
Sean D.
says
Weird but appealing at times. Although story line was very difficult to understand
Paul D.
says
Good attempt at something unique although the story wasn't that great.

says
You'll be impressed to start then the B&W animation becomes hard to watch. Storyline was hard to follow also.
