    Maybe one day Snyder will learn what colours are.

    Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

    ★★★½

    The prosthetics and visual effects are incredibly ingenious for the period - I like to imagine no modern production could really match the aesthetics, even with heavy CGI use.

    ★★★

    B-grade trashy genre exploration in an A-grade wrapper. The technical points are nice, and it's neat seeing this genre actively work around current tech, but it lacks a certain narrative substance.

    Birth: A War of Two Worlds

    ★★★★

    Ultimately devoid of any meaningful narrative, BIRTH is just a bunch of strung-together contextual action scenes fueled by pure 80s aesthetics. Nevertheless, it's a delight to watch, with beautifully creative animation, a gorgeous synth soundtrack, and an overall wacky vibe that leaves you wanting more despite the distinct lack of narrative. It's memorable, not for being a 'well-told story' but an outright 'experience'.
