Interstella 5555 (2003)

Interstella 5555 (NR) - Review

"Around the World"

Daft Punk, those Euro-robo-techno pioneers, gather legendary Japanese cartoon director Leiji Matsumoto to create a movie out of their album "Discovery".  The result?  Old fashioned looking anime with repetitive animation cycles shown over the band's hypnotic beats.  The result is a feature length music video with no dialogue and no energy, a throw away tale of blue humanoid aliens held on earth against their will by an evil record executive.  Coherent but not much else, fans of the band will of course enjoy the music but the visuals add almost nothing to experience.
