ENTERGALACTIC: THE LONGEST ANIMATED VIDEO CLIP IN HISTORY
I have said it many times and I will continue to say it: Spiderman Into The Spiderverse came to change the history of animated film, its unique and visually beautiful animation has been reflected in later projects such as The Mitchells Vs The Machines, Love Death & Robots, The Bad Guys, Arcane and now with this new movie, Entergalactic which is an adult animated movie created by musician and actor Kid Cudi as a complement to his new album of the same name and I want to say that the whole movie is a psychedelic musical beauty that takes you to New York where the urban artist named Jabari falls in love with Meadow, his neighbor who is also a photographer, what would start as a friendship turns into a romance where the protagonist must find out if there is room in his life for love.
And I just want to say no shit! It really is a wonderful movie, its animation reminds you a lot of Spiderman Into The Spiderverse although with some slight changes, but keeping that urban touch that makes the arachnid movie so great, now brought to a musical drama with a great cast , we have Kid Cudi, Jessica Williams, Timothée Chamalet, Ty Dolla $ign, Laura Harrier, Vanessa Hudgens, Christopher Abbot, Daniella Balbuena, Jaden Smith among other recognized actors. Originally it was planned to be a series but in the end they chose to release it as a movie and that is something that I appreciate very much, that way it is more enjoyable and easier to watch.
The music of this film is composed of the songs that make up the #Entergalactic album and I must say that each song is a piece of art that mixes Hip-Hop with Alternative R&B, the urban touch and the setting really take you to a New Surreal York with very interesting characters and a well-crafted romantic story, personally I will say that the type of animation used for this film has become my favorite because it perfectly combines 2D animation with CGI in a harmonious way and so masterfully worked that it is very pleasing to the eye and creates a fantastic, fluid and interesting atmosphere, seriously this film could well compete for next year's Oscar because it has really left me very satisfied and makes me want to see more of this story.
Netflix has delivered mediocre projects in recent years but if there is something that they stand out even above studios like Pixar and Dreamworks, it is in the field of animation, I think Netflix should focus its content on animation and Asian productions and I am sure that they would easily leave behind the studios that currently dominate the film industry and Entergalactic is proof that when something is done with the heart, it results in a very interesting and innovative project, now to wait Spiderman Across The Spiderverse that according to Sony Animation, promises an animation superior to the first film and I can only say that if you have not seen Entergalactic yet, I seriously recommend it a lot, it is a film that is totally worth it and if this is the future of animation, definitely! I want to see more of it!
My rating for this movie is: 10/10
