I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie. On the one hand, it hadn't received good reviews and wasn't around for long. On the other hand, I like Neil Gaiman. So I figured it would be a cool, quirky, low-budget looking movie with an interesting plot. I was totally wrong. The visual effects were really the star of the movie. They were so mesmerizing that I think I want to see it again just to watch it all unfold. The music was distractingly bad, the plot was totally forgettable, and there weren't really characters to speak of. But the images were so wonderful that it saved the whole thing. 3 out of 5 stars.
