not too bad. it is kind of original, but very weird. i watch anime, so i can tolerate it. lol. anyway, the story is an interesting one, but the acting is pretty bad. it does teach two things, though. brad pitt says "be contempt with the cards you're dealt" and "there is pain in the real world. its lonely and there are 8,000,000 ways to die." good points. its sort of a look at a utopia of a cartoonist's mind. this movie shouldn't be seen by people who wish to live in a fantasy world such as cartoon, anime, or whatever, it'll make things worse. anyway, cool world is good to watch when you get the chance.
