Travel diary to disaster
8 September 2013
Warning: Spoilers
I imagine this must be a feast for navigators or people working in the aviation industry a lot. I thought that the animation, some kind of shadow figure depiction, was quite unique and despite having seen a truly huge quantity of animated movies, I'm not sure if I ever came across something similar. However, it's a style I have difficulties appreciating. I like black and white films, also in animation (and it almost was with a few exceptions like the blood) and the style certainly fit the very bleak atmosphere appropriately, but somehow it's not my cup of tea.

The main character (voiced by Joel Edgerton, who recently starred as Tom Buchanan in a new version of The Great Gatsby) narrates his travel with a group of seafarers who run into complications and end up on a mysterious island where they encounter even more mysterious creatures which end up having a huge impact on the group's travels and lives.

This short film is worth checking out, at least the first couple minutes, as I'm sure if you are more fond of the style than I am it can make for quite a haunting watch.
